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! :)

Theos face and his always twisting things too! Makes me mad. His a good actor, the character is so annoying.

His face is so annoying and smug and mildly creepy.
Even before his cruel character was revealed I wondered what on earth Todd saw in him!

Let's hope so.

However I really hope they don't go down the route of Todd killing him and ending up in prison for it 🙄Just some plain normal 'soap justice' would be great.

Hi all. I didn’t bother watching the Corriedale nonsense. I’m currently watching the following episode of Coronation St, so know that Billy is dead, Becky missing, etc.
I was just wondering if there is anything I should know about the Corriedale episode. Something I may have missed. I’m guessing Theo didn’t really try to save Billy?
Thanks 😊

Becky was arrested by Lisa because Lisa had a call when she was travelling filling her in on everything Becky/Carla related.

Theo seemed like he was going to save Billy, then clipped him back into his seatbelt so he couldn’t escape.

Carl was driving the car drunk and switched Debbie into the driving seat when she was unconscious to make it look like she was driving.

The accident was caused by Emmerdale characters crashing into Lisa and Becky’s car.

The Specials - Enjoy Yourself

Just caught up on last night's episode. One of my massive bugbears about soaps is that randoms are always gawping through a window at someone in a hospital bed. Well of course they are not always randoms - usually have some sinister reason or vested interest in being there. Like Shona's 'sister'.
Is this really possible and does it happen in real life? Have never seen it in any hospital I have ever been in (not many, tbf).
Drives me nuts.

I agree. I really hate it when Theo smiles. He looks even more evil amazingly!

Yep. And it doesn't mean it's later - as in late in the evening/almost midnight, as the line may imply.

"Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think" means...

life is short and passes quickly, so you should live in the moment, have fun, and not delay joy, because time flies, youth fades

and is an old Chinese proverb. (As well as a lyric from a Specials song.)

Well, now Summer has moved in with Todd, hopefully she can protect him..... a little at least. Hopefully Theo will be less likely to abuse Todd with her there. Todd looked relieved that Summer was going to stay.

God I cannot believe Theo telling Todd that people were blaming him for Billy’s death. He is utterly evil.

The thing is, people will believe Theo no doubt :(

Well, I didn't expect him to tell Todd it was his fault quite like this, but I suppose this way he gets the manipulation and blame in early without incriminating himself.

argh!! I so wanted to punch Theo through the TV at this point

Theo is pure evil doing this to Todd. 'People are saying Billy dying is YOUR fault because you wanted to leave the wedding early!'

WTAF? Wasn't Billy leaving - a bit early - anyway (and a few others?) He wasn't leaving because Todd wanted to go!

Bored of tonight’s. The girl staring through the window at Shona is getting tedious. Lisa and kit still banging on about Becky and Costello yawn. Surprised Sean wasn’t more upset about Billy.

Yes! Everyone on that mini-bus was already leaving and Todd just tagged along. Why didn’t Todd say that to Theo?

I wonder that too. Todd surely knows Theo is lying.

How I remember it is Todd wanted to leave. I’m not sure which one said the words - Billy or Todd, but they were in the room together after watching the real footage. But I definitely remember Billy saying something like “I will try and round up some of the others and see if anyone else is ready to leave” - because I was shouting at the TV “don’t do that Billy, leave now before Theo comes back!”

And a complete nonsense explanation of why Lisa did not bother to report Becky

I just remembered Billy's part in Susan Barlow's death

Does anyone other than Peter know?

Never mind gawping through windows, they often wander in and sit by bedsides of people they hardly know like Carla did with Costello

As if anyone let alone someone with Dementia would be in Police interview without a Solicitor! Also wouldn’t a Specialist have to be in attendance, as well.
Charges brought already! If only the CPS moved that fast IRL

I’ve never wanted to jump into my Telly or phone I should say and knockout anyone as much as I do Carl and Theo and that whistling!!
Maybe they can both float off together. When God made them he matched them.
Obviously brilliant Actors though.

Adam knows as he got Billy hooked on drugs as revenge.

Or something like that !
