Is it nearly February (2026) already?! CORONATION STREET THREAD. **No spoilers please.**

Well, we soared through the last thread again, so here's a shiny new one!

Corrie is pretty much based around the tragic death of Billy at the moment. Bernie is starting to lose the plot a bit, and ended up in a hotel room with a strange man who is the husband of someone Roy has been chatting to. (It's all a bit confusing!!!) Then she ended up unconcious in the ladies toilets!

Todd and Theo are still together - annoyingly - and Carl (Debbie's brother) has just heard Theo blabbing to Billy in his coffin how he's not a murderer, and he should have saved him, and so on. A guilty conscience, or self pity? (I'm guessing the latter.) Carl was listening (conveniently!) and smirked when he heard Theo 'confessing,' but I'm not sure what he's going to do with the information. Especially as shortly after, Theo saw Carl doing some dodgy dealing with some blokes, and he photographed him. So, they now have 'something' on each other!

Not much happening with the Driscolls at the moment, and Ma Driscoll and Eva have called a truce. But for how long???

Shona and David's new little baby (Harper) is still a bit fragile.

Shiny faced Megan Trainer the Siren who has men (and boys) eating out of her hand, is showing an unpleasant, dark side, after practically threatening Sam (Nick's son) if he blabs anything about her and Will.

And Carla and Lisa have inexplicably made up, as if nothing has happened. On the plus side however, at least we have got rid of the dreadful Undead Becky storyline.

Probably some more bits and bobs to discuss, but I'm sure we'll get to them soon. Smile

Oh good it wasn't just me imagining it then. @thenightsky I thought that same, didn't recognise her at first.

We do not need Frankie now there is another baby in the premature baby unit

Is he still in the baby unit ? If so she never visits him

@Shellingbynight So like Michael's child Glory, he will be invisible until old enough to set fire to something.

I just howled laughing at that. It is so true! You’d think they’d have worked out by now that the reason every child on the street invariably turns into a feral beast is because they’ve all developed attachment disorders from their parents being at work all day and in the pub every night.

How do these people afford to buy drinks every night in pub, eat in cafe every lunch and buy tea when they live 2 doors away ! I want their salary !!

DaisyStarburst · 09/02/2026 14:21

Yes, I also wondered who Sarah was!

Myrealnameisbetty · 09/02/2026 14:34

Me too re Sarah looking very different.

While I'm here if I had to choose a Bailey male to be my err friend it would have to be Ronnie. The others are just awful characters. Just had another thought that if Debbie doesn't die but has to remain long term in some care facility would Ronnie wander elsewhere? I'm going to stop thinking now. 🫣

eggandonion · 09/02/2026 19:30

Ronnie is lovely but he needs to catch himself on so he does...inner Jim Mcdonald...and realise that no way was Debbie driving.
The other Baileys seem very quiet...where are they? All gone to visit DD?

the80sweregreat · 09/02/2026 20:52

David makes me laugh. He always looks so bemused by eveything!

eggandonion · 09/02/2026 20:57

Im bemused too.

the80sweregreat · 09/02/2026 20:59

eggandonion · 09/02/2026 20:57

Im bemused too.

😂
It can be!

SabreIsMyFave · 09/02/2026 21:00

@eggandonion

I agree about Ronnie ... He may believe Debbie wasn't driving, but how can he prove it?

LOU is back! 😖 (In prison with Debbie!)

Sarah did look different. Was it the hair? Light ash blonde?

OP posts:
the80sweregreat · 09/02/2026 21:05

I take it that Lou in prison and Debbie are not friends!
I’ll have to look up with happened there , but it was weird seeing Debbie being horrible as she is so nice!

Shellingbynight · 09/02/2026 21:16

I think Sarah's hair is blonder? At least she did look more like Sarah tonight.

The Lou and Debbie jail pairing is giving me horrible flashbacks to the Sally and Abi jail pairing. Do the writers never have any new ideas??

80s Lou is Brody's mum (the lad who had his 17th birthday the other week). Lou had an affair in pre-history with Kit the Very Tall Policeman, he's the dad. She isn't a bad actress but I could have lived without ever seeing her again.

Jodie and her dad... zzzz....

the80sweregreat · 09/02/2026 21:19

Thanks shelling ! I looked up Lou Corrie and a few names came up !
I thought that Lou looked like Jodie!

was Jodie’s dad in a care home ? I zoned out a bit today

Ooh, our Debbie can be vicious with her words when angry!

SabreIsMyFave · 09/02/2026 21:22

Yes I agree, Debs is lovely, but can be sharp and vicious when needed!

Also don't care about Shona and Jodie's dad.

I just noticed he looked like Father Christmas. 🎅

OP posts:
Shellingbynight · 09/02/2026 21:31

He did look like Father Christmas!

Yes dad was in a care home, amazing how anyone can just barge into his bedroom without the staff giving a stuff (you can't).

Do we assume Jodie got annoyed with him and clumped him over the head, causing a brain injury, not that I can summon the energy to care!

the80sweregreat · 09/02/2026 21:36

My late dad’s care home was like Fort Knox to get into it at times. That’s when they bothered to open the door , you could be outside a while before they buzzed you in! Then sign in and out. It wasn’t easy ( which is how it should be!)

the80sweregreat · 09/02/2026 21:37

Poor Harper seems to be forgotten amongst all the angst about Father Christmas who ( I agree) Jodie probably hit at some stage !

eggandonion · 09/02/2026 21:42

Lauren was always with babeh frankeh. Poor Harper only ever seems to see Bethany.
I don't know if I can be bothered with Jodie at all. Looking at Sarah is about the only bright thing just now. I suppose Audrey and Maria aren't working. Is Maria still on the council ?

Shellingbynight · 09/02/2026 21:56

80s same here, I had to wait for a member of staff to let me in, and sign in and out. And sometimes I had to wait while the staff were dealing with who knows what.

the80sweregreat · 09/02/2026 22:00

Jodie is a nasty character. So miserable, hiding things and generally a drain. I hope that her sister discovers the big secret she has and kicks her out ( obviously to do with the dad i suppose ) I think she try it on with bemused David too! She seems to like meddling.

FieryA · 09/02/2026 22:08

I am surprised Shona has so much energy to spend on Jodie and try to make things right with her, when her newborn is in hospital and there is another child (Lily) at home. Jodie didn't want to bother Shona with their dad's news but she didn't waste anytime blaming Shona for her sad life a couple of weeks ago!

Nevermind17 · 09/02/2026 22:25

I’m quite intrigued to see where this Shona’s dad storyline is going. He plays Jim the foul-mouthed racist farmer on Brassic, so I expected him to jump out of bed and start calling them ‘effing c*s’.

Empress13 · 09/02/2026 22:30

So it still doesn’t Explain why Jodie was tied up in a van when she first came into Corrie! There’s still a lot more to it I think. Dev is like a bad cartoon character!

zanahoria · 09/02/2026 22:59

I really can't be arsed with more boring back stories

Still no news on Sam's homework
