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

Megan is vile.

The way she treats Sam is making me quite upset. Can't imagine a teacher doing that IRL?

SabreIsMyFave · 20/02/2026 21:07

I agree that Jodie is trying to take over Shona's life. Friendly with Lily, and sniffing around David, and got a job in the street. Got her feet properly under the table now! She's so childish too, making a teenage girl (Lily) her BFF, and making Hope think Brian and Rita are talking about her.

Megan Trainer is being so horrible to Sam. She is a nasty piece of work! Imagine threatening a young teenage boy like this?! Mind you, I shouldn't be surprised at this behaviour ... She's a grown woman who is almost 30, and she's who having an intimate 'relationship' with a young teenage boy

Megan and Jodie should get together, they are so alike. Grown women in their mid-late 20s who are behaving like 14 year old school girls!

Debbie is gorgeous, and a great character, but she has the Korean Glass Skin/Shiny Face look!

Mal was super creepy on today's episode. I'm starting to worry about Bernie now!

Ma Driscoll gets more annoying with each episode. Going on at Lauren for having the audacity to fancy her grandson! I hope Lauren ends up marrying him, and having his baby!

I know right. I guess you do get the odd evil bastard in every profession!

Mary seems to have been middle aged forever. And annoying forever! I liked her scenes with Rita though, where Rita showed her annoyance.

Corrie Wiki says Mary was born in 1970, which makes her 55.

Yes I think the character (Mary) is meant to have been born in 1970, but Patti Clare who plays her was born in 1976.

The actual actress (out of the guise of Mary) does look younger than the character Mary - more like mid 40s. (IMO.)

I’m wondering if the footage that Sam just watched was faked because Megan spotted the camera

Yes, definitely

That is why she told Sam he is not as clever as he thinks

Although not sure she is either

She could have just given him loads of dull footage to sift through rather than confront him

SabreIsMyFave · 20/02/2026 21:24

Surely somewhere on the film footage, Sam should see Megan looking shocked by the camera, and removing it? Would that be on the footage somewhere? Mind you, it still doesn't prove that Megan is getting down and dirty with Will.

Wasn't the camera gone though? I thought it was gone? (Like Megan moved it, after she had done the silly fake scene with Will....)

Or was it still there and I just missed it?! 😬

They're hammering home the fact that Megan is an abuser by having her attack Sam, as if having a sexual relationship with a kid wasn't quite enough. Um, I think we could see that already.

JewelleryCat · 20/02/2026 22:00

Also, why was Ma Driscoll giving daggers at Steve? All he was doing was playing darts with Ben

I have a theory…

We know Mr Driscoll isn’t Ben’s father. Maybe Jim McDonald is.

Ma Driscoll saw something that freaked her out in the Barlows’ sideboard. It’s not implausible that Steve left a picture of his parents there; or it could belong to Amy.

Agreed and surely a tech-savy kid like Sam would have had his phone on at least voice record before he walked into the camera room

Glaspeated · 20/02/2026 22:33

Not sure why Sam just doesn’t record his conversations with her. When he confronted her, he must surely have known she’d say something or threaten him - why not just have his phone recording away in his pocket?

I’m very much looking forward to her inevitable fall.

NorfolkandBad · 20/02/2026 22:33

@Glaspeated - snap

@AnnieLummox that is a very good theory. We never found out what she saw in there did we?

bizzey · 21/02/2026 00:24

How do we know that Mr Driscoll is not Bens dad ?

Is Ben the oldest ?
Do we think the other brother will ever make an appearance ?

AnnieLummox · 21/02/2026 01:02

How do we know that Mr Driscoll is not Bens dad ?

It was revealed in the flashback episode.

bizzey · 21/02/2026 02:35

@AnnieLummox thank you .

I really think I fell asleep during that episode !
I can't remember any of it 🤣.

Can anyone remember when it was on please .
I will watch it again ...(Or maybe not
.and I should just get a life 🤣🤣!)

bizzey · 21/02/2026 02:37

Ohh the flash back episode..the one where she pushed him down the stairs ?

And which son witnessed it ?
The younger one ?

I am getting my self muddled with comments about the flash forward scenes .
