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! :)

Abi's hair did look a bit darker now you come to mention it!

No one knows enough about it. Including Becky, Costello, and the writers.
I can't see that Becky has anything over her either. She's need actual evidence, not just a few hints, and she hasn't got any. But Swain is so dense she's easily manipulated. (You weren't watch back then, but two years ago Swain arrested and imprisoned Roy for a murder that he hadn't done, because no murder had actually taken place.)

Oh no! Poor Roy.

The 'murder' was of Lauren. The mardy young girl who's behind the bar in t'Rovers now!

and then Jodie will steal her

I have a feeling that Shona’s sister will try to run off with the baby ( what have they called her?)
She looks untrustworthy and Shona looked shocked and unhappy she was there

We know Jodie's a baddy, she nicked that bunny for a start.

Yes he wasn’t exactly busy writing sermons and organising things for his parishioners

hating Theo especially when he is trying to blame Todd for Billy dying in crash they were already leaving early regardless of whether Todd was there or not, is Todd not twigging this, very frustrating

I wonder if she will? Why such an interest in the baby?

And as you say, Shona looked a bit shaken when she saw her.

Theo is vile isn't he? He has told Todd at least twice that it was his fault Billy died. 'Oh but no need to feel guilty.' Feck off Theo!

😆

I kind of hope Lisa ends up in jail.

Becky asked if a jury would find Lisa plain stupid

I think they would

Oh I remember that now. (Roy being arrested.) As has been said, it was Lauren wasn't it? That was a dark storyline!

New thread, as this one is nearly full! See you there folks (hopefully.)

I know I do.

I didn't know that the Craig actor was sacked as well.
Jodie looks so much like Shona, good casting, they could easily be sisters in real life.
Despise Theo and Carl.

I agree. It’s not just the hair and lips that are like Shona, it’s even the way she stands. Good casting.

Yep I think a jury would find Swain utterly stupid and theres also plenty of witnesses to that - Roy for example. And also Carla and Kit can say she didn't know Becky was dirty, was horrified at the thought and trying to find evidence of that, they were both involved in that at some point, before Becky reappeared.

I am still none the wiser as to why undead Becky came back.

Me too.
The whole Becky / Costello / ‘the gang is after me’ thing has gone completely over my head. And I’ve watched every episode.
All Lisa ever says to Carla is: ‘it’s not what you think’, you & me both Carla.

Why did they show Adam, the corner shop solicitor, wearing a wig in court 😂

I thought lawyers had to wear a wig in court?

Stop posting on the corrie threads with scenes that haven’t been on tv yet.

Yes please stop @Maryberrysbouffant . Because 1. These are not spoiler threads and 2. Writing the same thing in both threads is beyond annoying for us following the threads.
