Happy New Year everyone! We're sailing into 2026! CORONATION STREET THREAD. **No spoilers please.**

[SabreIsMyFave]

It's all happening in the street!

Todd continues to be abused and manipulated by nasty Theo.

Carla is being kept hostage by evil Undead Becky the Bay City Roller! Lisa (Swain) is pining for Carla who she thinks has gone away on holiday, (but Lisa still did the deed with Undead Becky!)

Nasty Ma Driscoll has been turfed out of The Rovers Return by her son Ben, after her horrible Christmas day stunt of revealing to everyone that Eva has had an abortion.

Will Driscoll is jealous of Daniel 'dating' his attractive older woman (well, she's around 28, but is still older compared to him as he is still at school! And to make things worse she is his sports coach!)

Costello has been beaten up and is still in hospital.

Tall Kit and Sarah Platt are still an item.

Shona is not far off having hers and David Platt's baby.

DeeDee's left the show after conveniently being offered a high flying lawyer job in Singapore!

Carl, the Chuckle Brother has been getting down and dirty with James Bailey (again!) whilst Abi is totally oblivious. She is also oblivious to the fact that Carl is trying to find a way to move away from her (abroad) even though Abi has left Kevin for him (and took her son too!) Some may say it serves her right! 😬

Evelyn has come back again - hopefully for good this time!

I have probably missed some stuff! But we can catch up later! :)

Todays episode? It is on there if you keep clicking to the left. Mine looked like only yesterdays was on there, but it was because I watched yesterdays live and I think it was assuming I hadn’t watched it! When I clicked across todays suddenly appeared.

Oh ok. I couldn’t find it today at all.

I’m looking forward to the half hour episodes, think they will work well. Just my hunch, have avoided spoilers, but I think mystery woman from Corrie dale is connected to the Platts, possibly Nick, don’t know why, just one of my feelings.

I have to watch ITVX on my laptop, for some reason my TV never shows the newest episode.

Billy’s irl accent!

I watch it on YouTube, less adverts.

I think there's enough storylines and random threads without introducing mystery woman with tattoo.

So I’ve just watched emmerdale (obv too much time on my hands!). Makes a little bit more sense now. Seems that the baddie John (the one in the woods) was killed by his sister.

Who had the same tattoo as Shona?

I've just watched tonight's episode. I did not notice a tattoo yesterday, but in today's episode there is a dark haired woman called Jodie, I suspect she is the woman shown yesterday with the tattoo? She looks like a younger Shona.

I thought it was a good episode today, 30 minutes is a much better format.

Just watched Emmerdale ( don’t watch it normally ) to get a feel for who was who. Then watched Corriedale. Was too dark as in at night, didn’t know what the Emmerdale lot were up to. Carla hadn’t had her medication for days yet managed to help lift a car .

Felt Summer’s acting was crap. How Lisa managed to handcuff the undead whilst lying on a stretcher and the undead didn’t ever notice.

Hmmm don’t want another mash up.

And … why was Carla sobbing at the church over Billy ? That was a bit OTT. Back to classic corrie for me !

I think Theo's comeuppance will involve his ex-boyfriend coming back and letting the Corrie people know just what kind of a person he is, and that it had nothing to do with conversion therapy or not being able to "live authentically." I think that's why Todd keeps taking him back; he thinks all Theo needs is to be treated with love and sympathy, and he will eventually change.

Wish I hadn’t watched the after show thing. Theo seems really nice in RL. Kind of ruined it for me now. 😃

I know Billy had to be written out but it was horrendous, I would rather he had been rescued but perhaps died in hospital

I think that Jodie that was tied up must be Shona's sister. She looks so much like her

I agree - I hate that the final words we basically saw Billy saying was the part of the Lord’s Prayer “as we forgive others who trespass against us” - after that bastard (only appropriate word I can think for him!) had clipped him back into his seatbelt to burn to death. It was a horrible ending for Billy.

Oh I thought Carla was sobbing over what’s happened to her/Lisa sleeping with Becky etc and it all came out when she saw Roy.

I'd be sobbing if I were Carla, too. Becky took everything that was hers, then locked her up, then she found out her fiancee was planning to run off with her. And Billy died. It is all a bit shit really.
If I were Todd I would just focus on Summer now. No room for Theo.

Yes he could stay with Summer paying rent and leave Theo to it

Oh maybe that was it then. I thought she was crying over Billy.

George getting it completely wrong as per usual

Oh Debbie, listen to Kevin. You weren’t driving

Debbie taking the blame presumably because Carl's her son and that's what she was building up to tell him

I feel sorry for Carla too. She loved Lisa, and Lisa let that fecking cow Becky in to their lives, and now she finds out Lisa had sex with Becky. Carla is broken right now. Roy is a bit like a father to her. So she felt she could cry on his shoulder. I felt for her so much tonight. Also felt for Summer, who I am really warming to now.

Debbie had the seat belt 'burn' on her right, so does that mean she was driving when they crashed (and not Carl?) That bit confuses me a bit.

I thought that too. Becky seemed nice too.!
