CORONATION STREET THREAD. Things are heating up! We should be finding out who killed Theo soon! Now in mid June 2026. **No spoilers please.**

So the 'Who Killed Theo' saga carries on. I think we should find out who it is soon... Fit Kit and Swain are on the case still. (For what its worth!) 😆

Poor Sam has been sectioned, and is quite unwell, and has been diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Gary and Sarah are in cahoots about something, (related to Theo's death, I think.) Oh, and Maria thinks they're having an affair.

Some random lads are chasing and threatening Brodeh. Who knows why!

Ma Driscoll has been quiet for a while.

Will is still sneakily staying in touch with Megan Trainer!

Alya's cousin Idris (who has never been mentioned before AFAIK) has appeared on the street, and has been seeing Leanne.

Carl, Kevin, and dishy Ronnie have buried the hatchet (for now! Hopefully it lasts!)

And what is Jodie going to do with Carl's gun?!

Sorry if I've missed anything!

I think it probably is. I don't know much about it (and don't want to!) but AFAIK, it's men doing it to women, not women doing it to men.

They seem to be obsessed with it now

Maria is going to chat to 13 year old Jake about it

Bethany wanted to know if Audrey's new boyfriend is rich or French

She will probably be asking if he is a choker too

I do not know much either but I do know that a mother should not be shouting about her daughter's sex life in public

I know they take advice from various charities, which presumably is good but the way they plonk it into story lines and turn it into a piece of gossip does not seem right.

I read a study that said over 65% of 16-34 year old women had been choked during sex, and in the majority of cases it was non-consensual. Also a high percentage had encountered non-consensual spitting, hair-pulling etc. Porn really is turning our boys into evil little shits.

Im an older millenial, I have a lot of friends in the 35-40 age group. I know some men and some women who like being choked. I wish I didn't know this about them.

Whilst Maria and Summer talking about it in the salon felt a bit gossipy, I think you would, wouldn't you?

My hairdressers is where all the local gossip is available so I think that was quite realistic. My kids are in their thirties. If they were teenagers I'd be learning a lot...in their teeage years glue sniffing and aerosols were problems. Summer talking about choking as normal was an eye opener.
But I do miss all the cosy stuff...

Once it is out there everyone is going to talk about it. Gossiping in hairdressers is normal but the way the information got out there was not - both Swain and Lauren broadcasting it in public.

Lauren is s bit of a loudmouth but Swain is the worst ever for oversharing.

I am now wondering how the Swain's crew got into Sarah's block of flats.

Did someone buzz them in the main door or did they bash that down too?

I think you over estimate the authority of a DS.

That is vile. My 2 DD are in that age group/both around 30, and I feel full of horror that this may have happened to them. Maybe against their will too.

I don't feel like I can ask either as it's deeply personal.

I hadn't realised choking was quite so mainstream among youngsters, it's getting a lot of coverage on TV and online now due to this storyline.

Really not sure if that's a good thing!

I'm reading a book in which everyone in the world from age 22 onwards is given a box with a piece of string, the length of which determines how long they'll live (it's another one of those why TF did I think this sounded good). Anyway, in it a message from a long stringer is that he and his girlfriend had been keen to try asphyxiation and they gave it 10/10 would recommend, because the piece of string told them they wouldn't die.

I wonder if there will be anyone else in the book who will take similar stupid risks and live the length of their long string being fed through a tube, and the rest.

Every day there's something else that I become aware of that makes me wonder what, in the name of actual fuck, the world is coming to.

lol expecting Audrey’s new beau to make an appearance now he’s been mentioned !

Thank the Lord but you do know you’ve just jinxed it she’ll be appearing tonight 😩

I've read that book too. Its quite thought provoking.

Thank you @thenightsky , it's not really grabbing me so far but hopefully it'll pick up a bit.

That sounds interesting @LesserSpottedCharacter ! That book.

The height difference between Fit Kit and Sarah is ridiculous she looks like a borrower next to him

Five foot one on her police mug shot!

lol and he’s 10ft 2 🤣

Kit finally speaking sense by raising self defence

But what would she gain by throwing Gary under the bus ?

She could hardly claim he coerced her

She rang him

I thought this but didn't want to say it. 😬

Ryan was in educational mode this evening.
