On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 5th and the 9th October (Episodes #10,133 - 10,138).

It was another massive week on the cobbles, and it was hard to even know which storyline to tackle first, but we plumped for Oliver's heart-breaking story, which saw another powerhouse performance from Jane Danson as Leanne was left reeling from the revelation that Nick's got a secret son. Also this week, Abi comes to the rescue again when she goes to extreme lengths to stop Geoff gate-crashing Sally and Tim's wedding, and after being teased for so long, Todd returns to the cobbles - but what did we make of his new incarnation?

There's some good news for Maureen Lipman in The Kabin as we hear she's going to be made a dame, and we round the podcast off with a bumper feedback section, which, as well as the usual impressions on the recent goings on in Weatherfield, also opens up some interesting discussion on some meaty topics including the representation of women of colour on the show.  It's a big old podcast this week - enjoy!

For this week's bonus segment, which is also available in video format on our YouTube channel, we try our hands at responding to the web's most searched for questions on Coronation Street. Thanks to the magic of Google auto-complete, we find out what the most burning questions are about Corrie, its characters and cast, and see if we can answer them ourselves. Which characters are people most interested in finding out the fate of? Which actors are Google users desperate to discover the sibling status of? Is Charlie De Melo real? Tune into this segment to find out the answers to all this and more!

For this weekend's podcast, we chat about everything that went on in Corrie between the 28th September and the 2nd October (Episodes #10,127 - 10,132)

This episode was actually recorded on Gemma's birthday, and after a late start due to a takeaway tea, we decided to make it a Street Talk only podcast - though with some of the mind-blowing developments we were treated to in the second half of the week, we still ended up waffling on for a good while! 

Though the seemingly never-ending saga of Carla, Peter, Sarah and Adam all whinging on to each other about their relationship woes was a bit of a tedious start to the week, things got a whole lot more interesting following a sublime twist in the Michael and Grace story on Wednesday. Not only that, but the introduction of Nick's son Sam in Friday's ep helped the week end on a real high, and with the prospect of Tim and Sally's wedding in the imminent future, we think things are looking pretty rosy for next week too!

We've decided to go for another character profile as the bonus episode for this podcast, but this one's a little different to the norm as it kills eight birds with one stone - and those birds are the lame ducks, the Morton family. Even if you were a Corrie viewer back in 2007-2008, you'd be forgiven if you've forgotten this car crash of a family, but you do get props from us if you can count anything significant that they did on more than one hand - and bonus points if you can actually name them all off the top of your head! Fear not, though: if you are a bit rusty on Morton trivia, this podcast will tell you everything you need to know - and then we can all go back to never talking about them again.

There's a bit of good news to celebrate for Helen Flanagan and Faye Brookes in The Kabin, and we round off the podcast with some of your feedback on last week's 1980s discussion.
