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.

Carla has been with plenty of blokes Kit's age, most of them related to her

I want to know how Shona's sister can just wander around a maternity ward and not be stopped? When my DIL was in a couple of years ago there were locked doors that you had to press a buzzer to be let in after that asked who you were.

I wish undead Becky was dead. Terrible storyline!

😂surely not, he has a kind face!

But you're right, it's inevitable he has someone tied up in a cupboard.

Ha, I'd forgotten about Mr Lee, I thought you were making a clever but tenuous link to the author

Life insurance is not obligatory for a mortgage. House Insurance usually is. Life insurance is up to you. You can just say no to it.

😂😂😂

Who was Mr Lee?

He's the original Big Cheese who was supposed to do Shona's op but was delayed abroad and Mr Harper subbed for him. (I have subtitles on, it's actually Mr Li.)

He was the surgeon who was supposed to operate on Shona ( she mentioned him quite a few times ) but he was called away somewhere so that’s why Mr Harper stepped in.

Thank you @Shellingbynight and @AmusedMaker - I had totally forgotten about the other surgeon!

Can I just have a quick whine about the schedule? I've become so used to skipping straight from EastEnders to Corrie that waiting half an hour is really annoying me. I either have to be patient and wait, or head over to ITVX, which requires patience of a different sort, taking forever to load and stuttering at random moments. It plays fine on my tablet, if I want to watch it on a tiny screen, which is okay as an emergency measure.
It's all very first world problems, I know.

I think they’re trying to get us get into the habit of watching Emmerdale while we’re waiting.

Another person in The Platts! Will she go in Gail’s room?

I have found that watching it on u tube is much more straight forwards and less ads.

Whoever the female Di is, I don’t know who she’s been listening too but Lisa isn’t a good cop

The female boss lady with Lisa had her lips done. I was a bit mesmerized by them.

How on earth has there been a hearing so quickly for her to get 12 years.

She did make me laugh calling Lisa ‘ a good cop’
On here, everyone thinks a lot differently to that !

8.30 is completely the wrong time for Corrie so I watch a bit early and suffer ITVx.

Surely no one in the entire country thinks Swain is a good cop?! Swain is so pathetic, she gets worse every episode. I wonder how long it will take Carla to get back with her. I give it a week.

Did David not need to ask Audrey, who owns the house, if it was okay to bring Jodie back to stay? In fact where IS Audrey during all this Platt drama? I think something will go on with Jodie + David. Either she is barmy and will become obsessed with him and Shona will think they're having an affair, or they WILL have an affair. We still don’t know why she was in Graham’s van at the crash site do we.

Who is trying to get hold of the secret half sister! ?
She is a dodgy one refusing calls.

I have one important question- where has Ryan’s facial scar gone ! Baffling !!

80s The only connection we know of for Jodie is Graham off Emmerdale, who is Dead Not Dead, like Becky. He was supposedly murdered in 2020. I liked Graham, he was like Steed from the Avengers.

Ryan's still got some scarring but it has faded and there is less of it.

So they have basically just bailed on the Becky plot

They must know how bad it was

I was so sure I read she was in it until March.

Shona's going to go crazy when she finds out her sister is in her house!
