Hooray, it's nearly Spring (2026,) and it's getting a bit warmer! CORONATION STREET THREAD. **No spoilers please.**

Following on from the last thread...

Carl is still awful.

Mal is dreadful.

Bernie is panicking.

Ma Driscoll is horrendous.

Kit is still fit.

Ronnie and Kevin's new double act is quite entertaining!

Debbie is still in prison.

Hope is still as cheeky as ever.

Brian has lost one of his favourite books!

It's all happening in t'street

I am sure there is more.......

Oooooh, I wonder! The shrewd detectives on here were right about Debbie being Carl's mum!

I hope Steve and Ben are brothers, it would be nice for Steve, and Tim would be so jealous.

Yes, the locket that she took out of the tin that she has now put Bernie’s photo into (the tin). Seems like she has a collection of objects of people she has messed with to me.
I think the photo of the child in the locket when she showed Shona might have been the girl she saw today who also said she had a sibling - I’m sure there were 2 little girls in the locket photos.

Thanks @Fbfbfvfvv

Does Tracy live with Steve McDonald and the Claire Sweeney character?

We should start a campaign to get rid of the short episodes. They’re so flitty, it’s as though every scene lasts 2 minutes. This is Corrie for the TikTok generation. I can really see myself giving up on it for good very soon.

Does cassie not live with Tyrone? Steve lived there when Tracy went off with Tommy Whatsit.
Big Jim had the gorgeous Elizabeth. He wouldn't have had a fling with Mrs Doyle so he wouldn't.

Did anyone notice Ben saying “Don’t you worry your head about it, Ma” ala Big Jim Mac? It’s so obvious that he’ll turn out to be Ben’s Dad. The only man in Norn Irn.

It must be exhausting being Jodie, plotting all these schemes against her new neighbours and keeping up lies against small children connected to her old life

She has a lot on her mind, no wonder she forgets the dog poo bags

My husband would say that. Im not married to Big Jim though.

Did Jodie throw the fake looking poo into a holder for toys ? She really is a piece of work
Her and Carl deserve each other , even though she has binned him off now ! Both narcs ..

I loved how Jodie just assumed that Lily would empty her school bag out to put the poo into! I’m glad she ignored it all .. She really is unbelievable isn’t she .

Yes. I think they all live at Ken's/with Ken.... I don't know where everyone sleeps!

Yes. I think they all live at Ken's/with Ken.... I don't know where everyone sleeps!

Jodie got spoken to by a few random people in that scene.

👀👀 !!

I do still love her face and cheekbones !

I know right! I thought Jodie was going to dump the poo in the tissue on a table!

Oh I thought she chucked it in a bin. Did she not? Ewwwww.

😆

I think she threw it in a bin. I thought she was going to throw it in the toy basket but she didn’t.

Ah, thanks @Gingercar

Yeah, the scenes are a bit short, and as I said earlier, I don't feel satisfied after an episode of 22 minutes. (I watch it without the ad breaks.) 6-7 minutes longer would be better IMO.

Come on you lot ..

I am sure not so long ago we were all moaning about the the episodes being too long !! 🤣

I think they are trying to pack the hour long action into the half hour episodes?

It's not the shortness of the episodes that worries me. It's the constant bombardment with new mystery characters.
I thought Ma Driscoll seemed a bit concerned about her boy going off with Steve and how they spent their time. See, that's a story that has potential to develop, albeit in a hugely unlikely direction. Jodie and Mal (who, let's not forget, locked Bernie in the café) and the unknown teenager, that's just a series of headscratchers.

I am finding it so hard to keep up with Corrie these days.

Those of you who also watch Emmerdale - has Jodie ever been mentioned since the Corriedale episode? Wasn't she being held hostage in a vehicle during that episode?

Who is the young girl (Olivia) she was talking to? Olivia said "why did you go", or words to that effect. And that Jodie was looking after her and her sister. In Emmerdale? Or over that way? In which case, why was Olivia in Weatherfield? Wouldn't she be living in/near Emmerdale? Was Jodie a nanny? Stepmother? And just coincidence that they were both at those shops at the same time?

What is Mal's connection to Inverness? Is that where he and Alice live? Lived?

If speculation about Big Jim being Ben's dad is correct, then I can't believe they're doing ANOTHER wrong dad storyline.

It's astonishing that such a small street can have so many psychos lurking!
