Access All Areas! Behind The Scenes At The Corrie Press Day
Last week, we were lucky enough to be invited to the press day at Coronation Street, where we got a sneak preview of an upcoming episode, sat in on an interview with producer Kate Brooks and had an access all areas tour of the set, where we investigated every nook and cranny of the main outdoor area (including having a look at what was behind closed doors!) and the main studios themselves, where we got a close up look at sets including the Platt house, the police station and the Rovers Return. In this episode of the podcast, we chat about the experience (don't worry - no big spoilers about upcoming scenes!) and on the YouTube version, share tonnes of photos and footage of the day. https://youtu.be/eJByctS5zjU

Conversation Street Episode 701
On this episode, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 6th and the 10th October (Episodes #11,687 - 11,692).
A brand new story kicked off this week with Tim at the centre, as he bumped into a familiar face from the past. But when Brian discovers just how close the pair once were, and how young Tim was at the time, he’s left questioning some uncomfortable truths about their relationship. Elsewhere, Ronnie’s birthday celebrations take a dramatic turn when the truth about Abi and Carl’s affair comes out, leaving the Webster family in tatters. Also this week, Theo continues his manipulation of Todd Asha's found unconscious with an empty bottle of pills, and George and Christina go out on their first date.
Not a lot of news this week (plus we're absolutely knackered when recording after a busy day behind the scenes at Corrie - more on that very soon!) so we give The Kabin a swerve and round the show off with a bit of feedback.

An A-Z Of Jenny
For this week’s bonus podcast, we’re bidding a fond farewell to one of our all-time favourite Corrie characters with a two-and-a-half-hour Jenny-fest! As we’d already wrapped up her story quite neatly in the character profile episode we released at the start of 2025, we decided to follow the same format we used for last year’s Gail departure and put together an A–Z of all things Jenny. We chat about our favourite moments, reminisce over stories Sally Ann Matthews has shared with us over the years, and revisit Jenny’s many romantic adventures - the highs, the lows, and the endlessly memeable moments that make her a character we’ll never forget.

Conversation Street Episode 700
On our 700th episode of the podcast, we share our thoughts on what went on in Corrie between the 29th September and the 3rd October (Episodes #11,681 - 11,686).
She’s been a firm favourite of the podcast since her 2014 return, but this week we bid a fond farewell to Jenny, who jetted off from Weatherfield to start a new life in Tenerife. We’d known her exit was coming for a while - but was it a send-off worthy of a character of Jenny’s calibre, or did it leave us wanting more? Also this week, Todd, Theo and co hit Manchester’s Gay Village in some brilliantly directed scenes that exposed a secret from Theo’s past - and revealed just how dark he can be. Meanwhile, Debbie discovers the truth about her brother’s affair, Bethany makes her return to Weatherfield after yet another career disaster, and Asha considers quitting her paramedic course.
Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, where we celebrate Corrie's recent success at the Inside Soap Awards, and we round off the podcast with more of your fabulous feedback.

Sally Ann Matthews Interview
After ten years back on the cobbles, our Jenny bade a fond farewell to Weatherfield today, and in the week of our 700th episode of the podcast, we have an exclusive chat with actress Sally Ann Matthews about her decision to leave and what it was like to film those final moments. Sally Ann shares some behind the scenes secrets about some material that was filmed but never made it to air, reminisces about her favourite moments from the past decade and gives an idea about where we might be seeing her on our screens next...
