On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the last week and a bit of Coronation Street, covering the 16th to the 23rd May (Episodes #11,571 - 11,578)

It actually worked out quite well that we didn’t get to watch Corrie’s big flashback episode until this week – sharing our thoughts on it now makes for a nice lead-in to everything that’s happening in the present day. We ended up having some pretty different takes on the episodes too – from whether the flashbacks were even necessary to how Craig’s death was handled. But one thing we did agree on – and sorry if this sounds like a bit of a cliché – is that this felt like one of the furthest departures from ‘proper Corrie’ we’ve ever seen, with its intense focus on police action and a main cast made up mostly of relatively new characters. There’s a lot to unpack this week, and we hope you enjoy the discussion (even if some of it does veer into a bit of a whinge!).

Up next on the podcast it's the news segment, where we check out who from Corrie has found themselves on the longest for the annual National Television Awards, and we round off the show with some more listener feedback.
