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.

It's been a while since we've profiled a current character, but this week it's Daniel Osbourne's time in the spotlight. After making a few appearances as a young boy in the 90s and 2000s, Daniel returned in 2016 as part of producer Kate Oates' drive to reinvigorate the Barlow family, and she certainly succeeded! We run down everything that Daniel's been up to in the past four years, with plenty of praise for who we believe is one of the show's strongest actors at the moment, Rob Mallard.

Corrie's back to being on six times a week! Well, kind of.. and in our latest podcast, we chat about what went on in the UK episodes broadcast between the 14th and the 18th September (Episodes #10,115 to 10,120).

Well, things are a bit miserable for the residents of Weatherfield at the moment, aren't they? If you're not discovering that your house is about to fall into a bottomless pit, then you're probably either on the brink of a morphine addiction, dealing with your mixed feelings about the death of your abusive stepfather or being told you need to think about turning off your child's life support. It's not often you turn to an undertaker when you need a laugh, but let's hope this new character, George Shuttleworth, has inherited his dad's knack of bringing a bit of much needed levity to the cobbles!

In the news segment of the podcast, we share our thoughts about Corrie's nominees in this year's Inside Soap Awards (and suggest a variety of 'best families' who would have made more sense than the ones that were actually picked), before finishing off with more of your listener feedback.

We've reached the halfway point in our rewatch of Corrie's 1980s highlights, so this week's bonus podcast is a discussion of everything we've seen up to the end of 1984. Mavis and Derek's double jilting, Vince St Clair and Carole Munro, that scene at the Barlows' doorstep that William Roache can't stop going on about, and of course, the demise of Renee 'Pole Through The Face' Roberts. So many classic characters left the show during this period, and in this podcast, we talk about how well the residents of Weatherfield weathered the changes.

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 7th and the 11th September (Episodes #10,111 - 10,114).

Things are slowly starting to ramp up towards next week's return to six episodes a week, and thanks to the extra half an hour of Corrie we got on Friday (as well as some brilliant twists and turns throughout the week!), we have quite a lengthy Street Talk segment this podcast, kicking off with the coercive control story. Now we all know that the concept of strong passwords doesn't exist in Weatherfield, so after a neat bit of slight of hand that would make The Great Magnifico jealous as well as some lucky guesswork, Sally gains access to Geoff's computer files - and is appalled at what she finds... Meanwhile, Gail's two boys compete to see who can have the most dramatic Friday, as Nick discovers that not only may he about to lose one son, he might also be about to gain another, and David has a massive sinkhole open up in his garden. 

In the Kabin, we celebrate Corrie sweeping the board at the TV Choice Awards, and we finish things off with some listener feedback on this week's dramatic events.
