In our latest podcast, we chat about what went on in the show between the 22nd and the 26th April (Episodes #11,246 - 11,251).

Well this week's action certainly stirred up some strong opinions online, didn't it? And we're not talking about the will-they-won't-they relationship status of Asha and Nina either.. No, it seems that with Toyah's new story, which kicked off on Monday, Corrie is asking its viewers to suspend quite a bit of disbelief and accept the fact that for six months or so of 2001, Toyah was pregnant with Phil Simmonds' baby. You know, despite there being no evidence on screen at the time that that could have possibly been the case. Since rumours of this story started doing the rounds about a month or so ago, we've been whipping ourselves into a frenzy about the unlikelihood of this turn of events, and now it's been shown on screen... we really do have mixed opinions. Elsewhere this week, the little projectionist living inside Roy's head treats us to another thrilling instalment of what's going on in his inner psyche, Amy struggles to find interview guests for her new radio show (we've all been there, Amy!) and Todd makes a scandalous discovery tucked amongst Archie's files at the undertaker's...

Up next on the podcast, we take a trip to the Kabin, where the new sponsor taking over the Co-op unit on Victoria Street has been revealed, and Sue Cleaver's got a new book coming out later in the year! We've got plenty of listener emails to get through at the end of the episode, so we round things of with a bit of a bumper feedback section.

For our latest bonus podcast, we take a look at the times that Coronation Street has been a bit free with its own canonicity, delving into the past of its characters and tweaking or adding to what we'd previously believed to be true in order to serve a new storyline. From changing names and dates to characters who popped in and out of existence despite it not really holding up to scrutiny of the show's lore, Corrie's had a surprising number of retcons and revisions over the years, and here we discuss which ones, in our eyes at least, are acceptable, and which ones we think should never have made it past the story conference!

On our latest podcast, we chat about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 15th and the 19th April (Episodes #11240 - 11245). Apologies on the delay on this one, folks, but as you may be aware, we were out on the Isle of Wight on Friday night, seeing Mikey North and Ryan Prescott in a brilliant live event! We start off the podcast by giving you all our glowing impressions of the event - let's hope there's plenty more where that came from!

Partly because of our lateness and partly because Michael's under the weather and losing his voice yet again, we make this episode of the podcast a Street Talk only affair once we get past the Ryan and Mikey chat - and with Roy now behind bars on remand, there's certainly a lot to chat about! As much as we quite enjoyed the court scenes on Monday, things did go off the boil (for one of us, at least!) come Wednesday when Bobby attempted to throw the police off the scent by inadvertently making up that he saw Lauren's assailant wearing an exact replica of Daniel's jacket - are we to believe he reality coded it into existence, perhaps? Speaking of which, Leanne's going further down the Institute's rabbit hole this week - but at least her newfound outlook on life seems to have got her to freshen up her wardrobe. Also this week, Sean ends his twenty year stay at Number 11, Alya quits Barlows' Legal Services (seemingly throwing them into technological chaos as she was the only one who knew how to close down pop up ads) and Eliza Didlittle heads off to pastures new on the continent.
