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

Jodie looks a bit like Charli XCX. Singer songwriter

Maybe Mal murdered Alice when he discovered she had been messaging Roy. Then used her phone to set up a meeting with Roy to do him in as well. It's unlikely, but could be used as an out if Mal proves unpopular with viewers. I hope he isn't a wrong 'un, i kinda like him. Gary will probably give him a job, and someone is bound to offer him a bed. probably Dev

SabreIsMyFave · 10/02/2026 21:08

So Mal is turning out to be a sinister fecker now. 🙄 'I'm gonna be here for ages yet............' Looks like he may end up being some weird stalker!

And Daniel told Sam he was going to have a late mark for not putting his homework in! How weird that Megan Trainer just took it. She's so odd really!

Yes, that was very sinister wasn’t it with Mal? Also, he spoke so slowly and I’m guessing electrics wouldn’t need to be rewired if done in 2019 like Roy said

I wondered why Toyah announced it to the whole table right in front of him? Very strange. Poor Sam.

So poor Harper is in intensive care and that poor excuse of a mother is getting wasted! Don’t think she’s been to the hospital in days!

the80sweregreat · 10/02/2026 21:25

Shona is a disgrace isn’t she :(

Poor little Harper will suddenly take a turn for the worse and that will hake Shona.She will suddenly turn into the perfect mother, sobbing and crying in the hospital have everyone sympathising with her.Sorry but the is the way it goes Corrie style.Then Harper will have a miraculous recovery, allowed home as if nothing had happened and get put into the baby cupboard with Frankeh.

She's expressing milk for poor Harper too.

zanahoria · 10/02/2026 23:39

It must be exhausting being Jodie keeping up with all her schemes. Does she plan and track them all on her lap top?

GrandTheftWalrus · 11/02/2026 01:49

Did george mention a ham shank?

He did! DH laughed. He is in the room but doesn’t watch Corrie but caught that and asked me to rewind!

Freysimo · 11/02/2026 08:24

You'd have thought David would at least put his drunken wife to bed rather than leaving her to crawl up the stairs while he has chat with Jodie!

Will Becky turn up in the prison scenes, I wonder?

Audrey needs to keep an eye on her. When Audrey or Rita call a wrong un Laydy their game is over.
Gail really shouldn't have gone to France.

Audrey was visiting her over Christmas (I think) - presumably still there!

bizzey · 11/02/2026 08:45

I can't get over the rage I feel when Shona is on screen 🤬..
Especially when she tries to cut all tired and exhausted!

You re never at the flipping hospital Shona with your premature ill daughter, to be exhausted!

While in the kitchen putting her lippy on she said..
I have express milk David has taken it up to the hospital, That should be enough for Harper for a few days !
(Obv not ordering for word !!)

The poor baby is going to think that Bethany is her mum as she seems to be the only one ever at the hospital !

Ok ..I know technically it is not Shona's fault !
Bloody script writers...what were you thinking 🤔!!

bizzey · 11/02/2026 09:03

Daniel giving Sam a late mark for his homework while in the cafe was ridiculous !

That would have been dealt with at school the day after !
More 🤬🤬🤬

the80sweregreat · 11/02/2026 09:05

What is the deal with ham shank ?
Is it a mumsnet thing or a Corrie one?
You don’t often see them for sale in the supermarkets . Unless I’m looking in the wrong place !

I think it's old school slang for something rude! 😬 Think of a rude word that rhymes with shank! (clue: it begins with W.) 🙈

Don't think I have come across it either ?

I think it originates from Cockney/London @bizzey but my brother and his mates used to say it at school (when they were teenagers in the late 1980s/early 1990s,) and we are in the Midlands. Must have picked it up off someone, or off the telly! 😬

It's been around for as long as I can remember, so 20 minutes - sorry, 50+ years. In my experience it tends/ed to be used by younger (just preteen) boys / teenagers as a silly saying to giggle at.

I would give Daniel a late mark for taking two weeks to notice

Im not enjoying Corrie at all. I hate all of the new characters, I hate everything that’s happening to the characters I actually like (like Todd with the Theo storyline, Debbie in prison and David caught between 2 selfish sisters). Summer, Lauren, Gemma and Betsy (and her mother!) all get on my nerves. The whole thing is rubbish. The only character left in it with any sense seems to be Ryan! I’ve watched it for decades and loved it the whole time, but it’s getting to the point that I feel like I’m not sure whether I want to watch it anymore.
