We're well into Spring 2026 now. CORONATION STREET THREAD. **No spoilers please.**

[SabreIsMyFave]

Can't believe we're on a new thread already. Filling up so fast these days!

Brief summary:

Todd has finally left the dreadful Theo, (after he badly beat up Todd,) but Theo is not keen on leaving him alone (although he has been told to by the police.)

Carla and Lisa (Swain) are planning on getting married very shortly.

Carl has been trying to extort money out of Summer for information, as he knows Theo killed Billy. (Summer knows this now too as Theo cornered her in the shop and told her as much, threatening to 'bury her too.') Summer is - very sensibly - not giving Carl a penny until Theo is arrested!

The ghastly Megan (Trainer) seems to have vanished, so Sam is relatively safe for now, but Sam has been having hallucinations and keeps seeing Will there - coming at him - when Will is nowhere near. Toyah, Leanne, and Eva have tricked Megan into meeting her (by sending a text from the burner phone Megan gave Will, and pretending to be Will...) Not sure what they're going to do when they meet her!

Ben Driscoll has just found out the man he knew as dad is not his bio father, and Jim McDonald is actually his father (so he is.)

The effervescent Debbie is declining a little bit more by the week, but is still in fighting spirit, and is seeing Carl for the parasite he really is. The gorgeous Ronnie is always by her side. Carl has just decided to cause a flood in Debbie's hotel by leaving the taps running in one of the rooms, after she told him he was very difficult to love, and refused to let him have half the hotel after he threatened to report Ronnie to the police for hitting him.

Shona's annoying sister Jodie is causing trouble all over the place! She's stolen Lisa's police badge, and a girl she uses to be a nanny for has turned up. Jodie is not happy about this!

Probably a bit more is happening, but I'm sure it will come up soon.

The tall one was the best dancer 💃

She is but it makes me laugh how she gets the better of the bananas

Toyah should have remembered her kick boxing skills, she used to go all the time back in the day

Debbie looked like she'd wandered off the set of the new Balamory last night in her Brave the Flood outfit!☔

I was hoping Megan was a black belt In a martial art. I know I shouldn't support her. But the others have pasts that aren't squeaky clean.

I think I may rewatch the 16th February flashforward episode today in readiness for tonight's drama.

Bananarama are a bit like Ant and Dec. Nobody knows who is who!

Is tonight murder night? I’ve got to go out again!

Rather like The Beverley Sisters. 🙂🙂🙂

(I can hear the shouts of "Who?") 🙄

My piano teacher knew a Beverly sister. I don't know which one.

...it was Joy. She was a footballers wife. My piano teacher was married to a footballing type.(in the late sixties. Im ancient).

She may be but I bet Leanne fights really dity

Billy Wright - captain of England

The Posh and Becks of their day

I’m trying to remember the flash forward scene. When Betsy was being questioned I’m sure she said “No matter what they did, they didn’t deserve that” or something like that?

I think that rules out Jodie and possibly Maggie, because I can’t see that Betsy would have known they’d done anything wrong. Whereas Carl, Theo and Megan are all known wrong ‘uns.

Betsy may have used ‘ they ‘ because she couldn’t say he or she ( for plot purposes)
No idea who is dead , there are a few in the frame arn’t there! As long as Theo goes to Belfast eventually I’ll be happy. I bet he isn’t the corpse

Sorry, I meant in terms of Betsy not knowing that either Jodie or Maggie had done anything wrong. I suppose there was Maggie’s affair with Jim that is public knowledge but nobody except us knows that Jodie isn’t who she pretends to be.

Ahh! Sorry. I know I use ‘ they ‘ sometimes too. Mostly if it’s referring to the government or the council though ! ( as in, ‘ they ‘ should do something) My parents used to say ‘ who do you mean ‘! Lol
Anyway, it did sound as if Betsy knew this person has done something wrong and so on.

Grooming and having sex with a child?

What has happened to the Mal story with Roy’s place and all that ? Was Bernie in the frame too ?
Betsy has had some interaction with Jodie because of Connie, so maybe something comes out about her ?

Meghan telling Eva about Will turned my stomach yesterday ! I think that if she had said it to Ben he probably would have punched her.

It is a bit silly how she decided to taunt Eva, especially after foiling all the plans

same with Theo

All the suspects are now going around acting like panto villains

I never knew who the bananas were either.
They were on Top of the pops all the time once.
Had some big hits with other people as well.
Actually quite successful! I had a tape of there’s once and I still didn’t know their names

Bananarama couldn't sing. They were so successful with so little talent.

I do feel that Bananrama having such nice looking women probably helped with their sales back then! Their songs were all very catchy too.
All saints had the best singers.
Anyway, I am looking forwards to finding out what happens with this mystery. It’s been set up to be just about anyone as it stands! May even be more than one ! Although that may be too far fetched.

The Bananas! 😂 I'm not going to unhear that now. It's right up there with Undead Becky and Megan Trainer! 😆

Yeah, Ben would go loco!
