We're back from our holidays in France, all caught up on Corrie, and it's finally time for Episode #691 of the podcast, where we chat about what went on between the 25th July and the 1st August (Episodes #11,627 - 11,634)
It's been a long time coming, but this week finally saw Abi and Carl giving into their desires and dropping their drawers for a seven-minute bunk up in the garage office. Whilst Abi rated the union 'cracking' and Carl certainly seemed pleased with himself, we can't say we're too pleased about the development ourselves - but is there really ANYONE in this storyline who's side we'd say we were on? Meanwhile, Theo's dark side emerges once more as he exerts his control over Todd. Get out while you can, man - Theo's REALLY not worth it! Also this week, Dee-Dee and James come to an agreement about Laila's parenting that's DEFINITELY not going to run into any issues, Sam gets all environment conscious and the mystery surrounding Becky Swain's death deepens... and we admit it - we're very much intrigued!
Up next on the podcast, it's time for a trip to The Kabin, where we take a look at some of the pictures of Jack P Shepherd's wedding as well as a new piece of Corrie merch that's been produced for the 65th anniversary. Then, after a bumper feedback section, we talk about some pretty big and definitely spoilery cast news that broke a few days ago - you just know this is one we can't stay quiet about!

Conversation Street Episode 690
We're not going to be able to record at all this weekend, so Episode #690 of the podcast is coming out early, focusing on what went on in Weatherfield on the 21st and the 23rd July (Episodes #11,623 - 11,626).
It was a tough week for Theo this week when Noah reared his head again with a Bible in one hand and a leaflet to his latest conversion session in the other. Can Theo let go of his past and stay true to himself? Also this week, Ryan's left reeling when Debbie gives him an unexpected kiss - a friendly gesture from a grateful boss, a side effect of her dementia.. or something much murkier? Meanwhile, Aadi scrambles to keep Dev from uncovering the truth about the staged robbery, Lou braces herself for a likely prison sentence, and Sam mysteriously vanishes during Audrey’s birthday party. Could Lily’s antics last week be to blame?
Not much in the way of Corrie news this week so we give The Kabin a swerve, and finish off with a couple of pieces of listener feedback.

Bill Ward Interview
This week’s bonus podcast features a chat with Coronation Street legend Bill Ward, best known for playing bad boy builder Charlie Stubbs in the early 2000s – before being stubbed out by a vengeful Tracy Barlow. Bill shares his memories of portraying Charlie, exploring the character’s deep need for control and his complex relationships on the Street. He reflects on working with co-stars including Kate Ford, Sally Lindsay and Ryan Thomas, and also opens up about his passion for theatre and photography. It’s an in-depth interview with a thoughtful, passionate actor – one not to miss!

Conversation Street Episode 689
On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 14th and the 18th July (Episodes #11,617 - 11,622)
Another big event episode this week – and yes, another prison break and another hostage situation. This time, it was Mick’s turn in the spotlight, but how did it measure up to recent rampages? And did Corrie really need to return to that same well so soon after Rob Donovan’s escape? Meanwhile, Lily’s got a new head and, with it, a brand new attitude – but was her callousness towards Sam during the school break-in in any way justified? Also this week, Aadi and Brody stage a robbery, there’s a gazump-off between Lisa and Carla, and while Gary’s head might be healing, his pride has taken a serious hit...
Up next, we take a quick trip to The Kabin, where we chat about the competition launches by This Morning to get a Corrie fan's pooch a walk-on part in the show, and we round off the week with more of your feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 685
On our latest edition of the podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 16th and the 20th June (Episodes #11,597 - 11,602)
This week saw Glenda putting on a drag night at the Rovers - but the real drag was most definitely Theo, who Todd seems to be besotted with despite him having more red flags than the Swiss embassy. Meanwhile, the truth about Debbie's condition comes out on Friday and she does a runner - does the fact that she doesn't turns up on the Victoria Gardens bench by the end of the episode mean we're in for a longer term missing person story? Also this week, Lou locks lips with Gary, Aadi plans a Summer party and Dee-Dee and James clash over her plans for a religious upbringing for Laila.
Up next on the podcast is The Kabin, where we share our thoughts on the reports that Jack Carroll has quietly left the show, and we finish things off with a bumper feedback session.
