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! :)

That's around the time I stopped watching too. Not going to bother with Corriedale.

@SabreIsMyFave It might be easier to have a separate thread for Corriedale so the people who are interested can go there and for the people who aren’t, they don’t have to read our comments on either the Emmerdale or Corrie threads

True. If no-one has made one by Sunday (4th Jan,) I'll start one.

Will Corriedale be integral to the on going plot of Corrie or is it a sideshow thing like EastEnders did in Ireland?

Ar first I thought it was just a bit of fun for those who watched both soaps and was hoping to ignore it but it seems everywhere, they seem to have put much more focus on it than the Xmas episodes that have been phoned in.

@zanahoria I’m not sure but the way it’s been bigged up with the trailer on nearly every advert, maybe it’s more integral than we think

Scary to think that is next week and a whole new year lol

I know right! We'll be in the 2030s soon!

Isn't that when the apocalyptic future in The Terminator was set? When the cyborgs took over the planet?! 😱

Just looked it up. That dark future is set in 2029! 💀

Oh being in the 2030s is even scarier!

That is my feeling too.

I wish they would focus more on the bread and butter issues of the show than these spectaculars.

There is a Corriedale thread but it’s also a spoiler thread.

Absolutely ! Carla could get her hands untied if she tried.

I wondered that. The brookside hollyoaks crossover meant nothing to me as I dont watch hollyoaks.

Thanks for letting us know this @stolenpromises

I have just watched tonight's episode of Corrie. It's a good one. I won't say owt else.

I've caught the 'watching early' bug too. I feel like a naughty child.

I usually watch it with a cup of tea at tea time!

What has jimmy cranky done to her hair ? Very dark or is it a new wig ?

@Andepeda and @HappyFace2025 Not just me then.

I watched it early one time, about 2 months ago, (I think it was on the iPlayer at 9pm the day before it was due to be broadcast, so, like almost a full day/24 hours before.) Then I came on here around 11pm - about half hour after I had finished watching it - and blabbed something that had happened, that most people wouldn't see til they watched it at 8pm the next day! (It was definitely a spoiler!)

I realised what I had done about 10 minutes after, and thought 'oh shit!'

Luckily no-one else appeared to be around at that time. Well, no-one posted after me anyway... Even 15 minutes after, there was nothing. So I reported my own post, told MN what I had done, and asked for it to be removed. It was 11.15pm or so, and I thought 'I bet no-one is about!!!' But it got deleted within 5 minutes, and a moderator messaged me and said 'ha ha, never mind, the post has gone now!' So hopefully, no-one saw my post!

I know right. It has to be wigs she keeps wearing. Surely no-one can have hair like that?!

Who is Jimmy cranky??

There ya go @HappyFace2025

Jimmy was one half of a comedy double act who were popular mostly in the 1980s and 1990s. Mostly in panto and end of pier shows, and also on some TV variety shows. Jimmy (a teenage boy) was actually a grown woman called Janette! (Her husband played her dad I think...)

Becky I assume.

Thanks @SabreIsMyFave I know who he was but who is he on Corrie? Becky?

Oh I thought @HappyFace2025 was asking who Jimmy Krankie is, like the person/performer! 😆 Yes, sorry @HappyFace2025 people are referring to Becky when they say Jimmy Krankie, as she looks a bit like Jimmy sometimes. She also gets called Bay City Becky, as she dresses a bit like a Bay City Roller - Google it if you're under 40! 😆 ALSO my personal fave - Undead Becky! (For obvious reasons!) 😆

Cross post. ^ Yes, Becky.
