The end is nigh for shiny faced Megan Trainer! (Hooray!) CORONATION STREET THREAD. Now in mid May 2026. **No spoilers please.**

So finally the Megan/Will storyline is coming to an end! Sam is still not well though, poor lad...

Connor-Swain and Fit Kit are busy trying to find Theo's killer, and everyone Todd is close to is taking it in turns to babysit him!

Tim is trying to come to terms with the realisation that the thing he had with an older woman (Trisha) 40 years ago, (when he was 14) was actually abuse...

Shona's sister Jodie has managed to push herself into Daniel's house (and his life,) and seems to flit from place to place, with no actual luggage or money!

I know there's probably more...

Carl will probably stay in hospital as long as Harper is.
Then be discharged and never seen again I hope.

The next scene with Carl will be in his hotel room, the camera will pan back to reveal he is in bed with Ma Driscoll making sweet pillow talk about how they killed Theo

@zanahoria I grew up in Belfast...I was there in the seventies....Ben and Finn would be in their twenties not their forties. Im seeing Jason and Mark in a few days time. Men in their forties from Belfast.
I read a few years ago that the surnames are chosen from gravestones. Grimshaw and Windass are great names.
Harper and Sarah Louise , Jim and Liz having Steve and Andy are correct.
Not Finn and Ben. I should follow the actual events as closely!

I think Kelly Crabtree was my favourite, especially when she walked out her calling herself "Kelly Crabtree ... with the legs"

There used to be loads of feisty factory girls, not sure they have taken on any knicker stitchers for years apart from Betsy

Maybe all the knicker production I now in the far East. In Norwich.

I was watching an old episode of something like Peak Practice many years ago, and the opening scene was a long zoom onto a gravestone. The name was my mother's full maiden name which was incredibly unusual, and genuinely could not have just been thought up. Gave me a proper funny turn I will admit!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one. 🤞

I wouldn't worry too much about Bertie needing a new mummy in Jodie. By the end of the summer he'll probably be old enough to go to Weathy High, judging by the rate and acceleration of new head-age.

I have been wondering (with Megan Trainer knowing about Ma Driscoll being there when Pa Driscoll had a tumble down the stairs,) as Megan overheard it from Ben's ex Mel .... how did Mel know? How does ANYone know?

If I was at the top of the stairs with my husband and we were having an argument, and he stumbled and fell, (and died) and I rang the police and told them I wasn't there when he fell, I would NEVER tell anyone I was actually really there after all. Not a soul. Not even my children. Too much of a risk of it getting out eventually....... Never tell anyone ANYthing that you don't want anyone else to know.

@SabreIsMyFave I have it in mind that Finn (other son) witnessed the fall/push

Ah, must be how Mel found out... Have we seen Finn yet? He is Ben's brother I assume?

Will we see Finn soon? Played by Jamie Dornan would be nice so it would.

Please not another one of them

I assumed they had avoided bringing him back with the ludicrous plot device of him telling Mel.

Yes Ma said Finn had 'seen something' (which we knew as we saw a child watching in the flashback). Why had Finn told Mel? definitely ludicrous.

It's a shame they are getting rid of Harriet Bibby for yet another uni trip to America. She has been really good this year. They have completely dismantled that whole family, first Paul went, then Billy, now Summer. Todd has few close links left now.

We saw Finn peeping out of his bedroom door in the flashback when they were first introduced, so he witnessed his Ma push his Da.

I’ve just watched tonight’s. When it’s played out, I’ll be back!

Yeah, it does seem ludicrous that Finn told Mel, his brother's WIFE, (what he saw Ma Driscill do,) but not Ben, his brother!

Also a bit miffed Summer is going. I hope it's not permanent. I have grown really fond of her. 😢

I was wondering if Harriett Bibby is at University/doing a degree and she needs the time off. Inexplicably though, she is 28! (I thought she was about 19!) Mind you, it's not impossible for someone to be doing a degree at that age. I wonder why she's leaving Corrie though? And is it for good?

It’s a shame that Ben is so boorish and unlikeable as he is a very good looking man and makes a glamorous couple with Eva. I hope they start making him a bit nicer , but he is just so reactive and quick to anger. Doesn’t listen to reason.

@the80sweregreat
Ben takes after his hot headed Da, Jim, so he does!
I do like him though.

I do remember Jim ! He is similar to his dad , I guess it’s just Jim junior.

Why is Eva wearing pyjamas?

Roy is not helping

Ben's just like his daaaa, so he is. (Big Jim!)

I noticed that too.
