It's snowy, chilly, January (2026.) CORONATION STREET THREAD. **No spoilers please.**

[SabreIsMyFave]

The last thread filled up quickly! (2 weeks!) Shows Coronation Street is gaining popularity again. (It has improved quite a bit lately!)

R.I.P. Billy Mayhew.

Todd continues to be manipulated by Theo, Summer has done some stellar sobbing (that's brought me to tears!) and it seems there's no-one to help poor Todd.

Not much has been seen of The Driscolls for a while. after the tragedy around Corriedale, and Billy the vicar dying. (I'm sure they're about somewhere!)

Lisa (Swain) is being manipulated by Undead Becky now, (from prison) and she's threatening to 'take her down with her' if she doesn't have her back! Not sure Carla wants Lisa back anyway after Lisa slept with Becky!

Poor Debbie is all over the place, trying desperately to defend evil Carl who has stolen from her, cheated on Abi, and caused all kinds of destruction with a car, (twice - and both times he's got away with it!)

Shona and David's new baby is in hospital for a while after being born prematurely, and Shona's sister has appeared suddenly! I guess we'll learn more about her, and why she and Shona have not seen each other for some years.

Sorry if I've left anything out. I'm sure we'll all catch up soon.

yes, I think it’s quite rare in real life!

I was in school with someone who had a baby at 15, my sister was in school with a teenage couple who had one when they were 14, and DH was in school with a teenage couple who had a baby when they were both 13. I think most people know one person who had a baby very young, but on just one street like Coronation street it’s highly unrealistic that there would be multiple very young mums!

I worked with a woman who's DD got pregnant with twins at age 11. She miscarried around the 3 month mark. She was just a little girl herself.

Gosh that’s heartbreaking on multiple levels, poor girl.

I'm feeling a bit left out here, I don't know any girls who got pregnant in school.

My mum was married and had a baby at 16 though, and my step dad grew up thinking his mother was his sister.....so there's that.

I remember when Evelyn came in and I got a vibe that she was not really his gran but out to scam him. I wonder if she was so well received the writers changed the plan.

Has Carla got any children?
I’m pretty sure she hasn’t as she never mentions any, but I missed a good 10 year chunk of coronation st a while ago.

No she hasn't. She once got pregnant with Peter, but miscarried.

Carla could have at least one child we haven't heard about yet...

Oh yes I thought I remembered this as Nick though.

I do get confused with Nick and Peter so I just wiki'd, and it was Peter. He was also shagging Tina at the time! She then dumped Peter and moved on to Nick.

Re: this paragraph of my post at 10.00 this morning.

Whilst I have known a number of cases where a girl had a baby in her teens, I don't think I have ever known any woman have one at 12!

When I said woman, I meant 'girl' of course! 😬 A 12 year old isn't a woman obviously!

I had forgotten Carla was married to Nick

That seems just as absurd as her marrying Lisa

Leanne and Carla took it in turns to marry Peter and Nick😄

I liked Leanne and Peter together. Chris Gascoigne did brilliant 'drunk'.

Just watched last few episodes, Summer actress is doing great, looks pale, grief stricken, was actually cheering her on when she slapped Debbie, not because I dislike Debbie, I love her, but because it was realistic. It’s what someone in Summer’s shoes would do. Corrie is best when it’s realistic.

Todd, brilliant actor, trying to support Summer, but inwardly falling apart.

Couldn’t care less about them at the Rovers, blank them out like I used to do with undead Becky.

Going back to the undead Becky story (I know, I know, we all want to forget that ever happened! 😂), was there ever an explanation for who the person was at the end of the phone supposedly at the fake rhubarb hotel when Kit phoned trying to locate Carla?

No

I assume it was just one of her minions

I really don’t like Eva (?) and her bloody ott sqwarky laugh.i wonder if they’ve told her to be like this to endear herself to the audience.

I realized a few weeks ago that Ben played Freddie Mercury’s long term boyfriend in Bohemian Rhapsody.

Shes always been like this
Tbh its a bit odd, like Julie Carp, she's also got exactly the same hair and awful dated dresses.

As PP said, she paid someone (one of her own (BayCity roller) gang) to set up a spoof website and a false number that he answered and pretended to be the Rhubarb Reception.

The smoke effect after Meghan Trainer spoke to Will down the alley was very atmospheric! Is she lying about the baby ?
Not keen on Shona’s dodgy sister .. what is she playing at ? I still think she’ll run off with Harper once she’s out of hospital;(

And Toyah is in on it now! Was engaged to Peter and now with Nick!

@CorporaINobbyNobbs oh yes of course! It's all so incestuous!

I don't know what to make of Jodie, but she's a bit annoying. I think her main purpose is to make Shona feel guilty, I'm not sure her childhood was that bad. It isn't really clear what the age gap is, but say Shona was 14 when she left, I guess Jodie was at least 8 and possibly older because she seems to have a firm memory of it.

I think Megan is still pregnant, and it's Will's. WTF is Will talking about, living in a flat on the beach - who is paying for that exactly! This is all going to be an epic disaster when Ma Driscoll finds out.

I can't stand Nina and I am glad Roy told her to bog off.

I do like Roy, his so old fashioned and not many characters on soaps are like him.

I like him too @the80sweregreat
