On this podcast, we talk about all things Corrie that took place between the 3rd and the 7th November (Episodes #11,705 - 11,710).
With the grown-up Driscolls' feet already very much under the (incredibly large) Rovers backroom table, this week's trip to Weatherfield saw the arrival of the final member of the clan: runaway son Will, whose disappearance at the start of the week was very much the talk of the pub - but did Corrie do enough to keep viewers who'd never even met the kid before engaged? Meanwhile, Becky continues to refuse to take no for an answer, stepping up her game in her attempts to lure Becky and Lisa back to Spain with her, plus a shady conversation with Costello gives sheds a bit more light on the circumstances surrounding Tia Wardley's demise. Also this week, the identity of Hope's troll is revealed, Carl continues to gaslight Debbie, and Cassie and Tracy are still at each other's throats - is this still entertaining, or is it getting a bit tired by this point?
After Street Talk, the Kabin segment sees us bumbling through our initial reactions to the news that ITV is potentially going to be bought out by Sky - a topic that we admittedly don't have the best understanding of, but we do our best to explain the situation and correct a few misconceptions! That's followed by the feedback segment, where we read more of your initial views of the street's latest family.

Jayne Tunnicliffe Interview
This week, we're joined by Jayne Tunnicliffe, who played chavvy chippy worker Yana Lumb on Corrie back in the mid 2000s. Jayne opens up about her long and varied career in showbiz, and how it led to her securing the part of Cilla's tarty mate for a one-off appearance that went on to be a recurring role for a couple of years. Whether deep frying a turkey or sitting in a bath of mushy peas, Yana was always doing something to make viewers laugh, and here, Jayne recalls many of her happy memories working on the show.

Conversation Street Episode 704
On this week's episode of the podcast, we chat about all drama on the cobbles between the 27th and the 31st October (Episodes #11,699 - 11,704)
Well, what a week that was! The changing of the guard at the Rovers is always a momentous occasion, but this one truly feels like the start of a fresh era for the show. Eva Price is back - and she’s brought her new family with her! You won’t be surprised to hear that we’ve got a lot to say about the new arrivals, and on the whole, we’re feeling extremely positive. Elsewhere on the Street, Carla returns from Ireland with the knives out for Becky – but can she get her to back off Lisa before it’s too late? Also this week, Hope thinks she’s uncovered the identity of her troll, Carl takes the brunt of Kev’s anger, and Cassie lands herself a new job.
Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, and Jane Danson's hitting back at reports that she's been fired from Corrie. We round things off with some of your feedback - and early reactions to the Driscolls' debut!

Press Day Chats!
On the Corrie press day a couple of weeks ago, we had a few short chats with four of the cast, including two members of the new Driscoll family! First up, Aaron McCusker tells us what it's like to play new Rovers landlord Ben; then, Lauren Bolton actress Cait Fitton reveals the secrets behind crying on cue. After that, Channique Sterling-Brown reflects on her three years playing Dee-Dee Bailey, and we round things off with a quick natter with Raph Akuwudike, who plays 2025's man of mystery, Ollie!

Conversation Street Episode 703
On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 20th and the 24th October (Episodes #11,699 - 11,704).
Ooh, that Theo - he's a nasty piece of work, isn't he? We've got a lot to discuss about his story with Todd this week, as the unfortunate undertaker finds himself yet again cowering in the kitchen corner, his boyfriend using him as some kind of emotional punchbag. Just how long is it going to be until someone realises what's going on and rescues Todd from the hell he's now living? Also this week, in scenes that had the hardcore Swarla fans seething, Becky presses on with her plan to charm herself back into Lisa's affections - and Lisa shows surprisingly little resistance! Get yourself back to Weatherfield pronto, Carla! Elsewhere, Abi is tempted to steal a car help out her and Carl's financial woes, the Winter-Alahan family self-destructs in the wake of Asha's attempt to take her own life, and things get passionate between Christina and George - despite his failure to get a Stiffy!
In The Kabin segment, we chat about the latest additions to William Roache and Barbara Knox's mantlepieces as they both receive lifetime achievement awards, and we we finish off the podcast with a crop of lovely listener feedback.
