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

[SabreIsMyFave]

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!

But they have to live in the STREET! And work in the STREET, and date people and marry people in the STREET! 😂

No-one's allowed to have any life outside the street! 😆

Oh gawd, I can't remember Ryan and Tracy. It may possibly have happened though, seeing as how they all date one another within the street. I'm pretty sure most of them have dated at least 3 others who live in the street. Is there anyone who has ever dated anyone outside the street, (who hasn't come into the street to live with them?!)

I'm off out for the day in about half an hour, so here's a new thread for when this one is full. (It's nearly full now.) Have a lovely day folks.

Didn’t Ryan shag Leanne at one point or have I imagined that?

It was very kind but I’m not sure Lauren should have taken Betsy to the toilet because she might have lifted her wrong and done more damage

I thought the same. Even though I've had all the relevant training, I still wouldn't lift someone I was visiting just in case anything went wrong!

Me too @HaddyAbramsand @JewelleryCat
Did Lauren just help her to the wheelchair? Or can Betsy walk aided? Not sure if they’ve said.

I’m nit sure if they actually showed how Lauren helped whether it was wheelchair or walking frame or if they did, I was busy doing something else with one eye on the tv lol but I did think Lauren should have quickly found a nurse and got a commode

I still can’t make the link that Ryan is the same character in classic Corrie and coronation street my brain just doesn’t get it. What ever happened to Michelle's real son?

There was a wheelchair in the background, so I assume she mobilised Betsy into that, then onto the toilet. And then back again.

Why does Liam have his name spelt wrong on the back of his football shirt?

Yes but the point was to show how deep their friendship is

I think if I was Betsy I'd feel humiliated. A friend taking you to the loo is different to a person doing it professionally. I think Lauren overstepped. No means no.

Betsy didn't seem comfortable with it. I think being a close friend means respecting the other person's boundaries.

Betsy actually said she would do it for Lauren if it was reversed

But she was saying she didn't want her to do it. There are boundaries. Id be horrified if someone did that to me particularly if I was as vulnerable as Betsy is.

Absolutely agree. It doesn’t matter if they have a deep friendship or Betsy would have done it for Lauren, Betsy needed a nurse in that scenario or Lisa

That jarred so badly with me, I had to quickly create a backstory featuring a key member of the Weathy County squad with a name so similar to his own that Liam just had to have the shirt.

Oh, Digital Spy has the explanation of why it was Conner on Liams shirt

I don’t think the link has any spoilers but be careful just in case it does https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/coronation-street/a73247304/coronation-street-liam-connor-blunder-explanation/

Oh I'd forgotten the Kirk connection. Nice that the writers have resurrected the joke.

I'm glad someone else can see it.

Betsy actually said 'humiliating'.

Oh I missed that or maybe I didnt but just thought it was how I'd feel.

Yes totally against lifting and handling guidance!

I hadn’t even thought there would be guidance to lift someone but I suppose there must ne to nit hurt the person or the person doing the lifting
