CORONATION STREET THREAD. We're still in a heatwave, and it's going to be stuffy in that prison for Sarah! Nearly August 2026 already! **No spoilers please.**

Shiny new thread. Smile

So, Sarah's been arrested for killing Theo, Kit is trying to get her out of prison without implicating himself, (and is desperate to pin it on Gary,) and Gary and Maria are at loggerheads after Gary decided to help Sarah cover her tracks!

Swain is as useless as ever, constantly talking very loudly about any case she's working on, and in front of as many people as possible!

Betsy has had a stroke, after engaging in non-fatal strangulation during sex with Dylan, and Dylan's in trouble for it, even though Betsy doesn't blame him. Sean (his dad) is trying to blame anyone but him, even Brodie!

Most other storylines/characters seem to be fairly quiet at the moment, but I'm sure they will touch on them again soon...

We are the only ones remembering poor, dear, forgotten Alice.

Is that too many commas? 🤓

Alice, Alice, who, the, f*ck, is, Alice. Grin

Fiz showed up as a strong Northern woman, a true Tony Warren character!

Also agree that even though I said I was just warming to Cassie, it's not the worst thing in the world that she has gone, as she has been a pretty dodgy character. I am just annoyed that we are left with the beastly and vile Ross. It's absolutely ludicrous that he has got his feet under the table so quickly, and is now living on the street. (Of COURSE he is living on the bloody street! 🙄)

I really hate this storyline and am so annoyed that Ruby and Hope did this DNA thing, and tracked Ross (Tyrone's bio father) down!

I dislike Lauren too. Annoying character, pointless, and grumpy all the time. Wish she had gone...

I am impressed with the actress who plays Betsy. Apparently the 2 actresses (who play Lauren and Betsy) are best friends in real life.

I am still quite shocked that this 'choking' thing during sex seems to be very common amongst young people/Gen Z. Never ever taken part in this in my life, and never would, and I have never been asked! (I am older Gen X..) I spoke to my DC about it and said how dangerous it is (they are both just past 30/millennials, 1 year apart in age,) and they said they would never. It seems to be mostly people a bit younger (under 22-23.)

Yes she did. Grin Fiz is a nice, caring softie, but is quite tough deep down, she had to be with a mother like Cilla. She practically raised Chesney on her own.

Bernie leaving Christina in charge of the cafe yeah right !

I know after using peoples bank cards or perhaps Bernie knows nothing about it. Also Mary seems very pally with her again.
I felt like jumping in a biting Ross fingers off when he started pointing at Fiz saying “No no no”

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 05/08/2026 17:22

I think Ronnie is being quite selfish not respecting Debbie’s wishes.

1reason · 05/08/2026 17:22

Remember no Corrie this Friday 7th due to Carabao Cup! Replacement episode Sunday 9th 730pm.
Even more shocking...
no 'soaps power hour' next Wed 12th...due to a pre-season friendly!!
Unsure when replacement episode will be shown.

Could do much better, ITV!

Yeah I thought that to be honest. Bit rude. I would never have changed my mind if I was her.

She might not yet, she may just be saying what she wants him to hear.

Bernie was so nosey looking at Debbie's laptop. I would have been livid if I was Debbie.

Bernie hasn’t any filter has she.

eggandonion · 05/08/2026 19:14

Computer and phone security is non existent.
Lauren should take Frankeh and move to be near Max.

JewelleryCat · 05/08/2026 20:50

Did I miss an episode where Bernie and Dev know about Sienna and her mum?

middlelife · 05/08/2026 20:58

I have to say the Betsy actress is playing this part so well after the awful undead Becky storyline.

the80sweregreat · 05/08/2026 20:59

Betsy is so good , it must be hard to act and speak like that. She’s doing well

JewelleryCat · 05/08/2026 21:07

It’s absolutely awful Betsy wet herself but if Lauren and her didn’t have their fight, how would she have got Betsy up the stairs unless there is a commode we haven’t seen and wouldn’t Betsy be wearing incontinence pants like Tenas?

bizzey · 05/08/2026 21:39

I did see a commode in the office alcove area of the house the other day.

But Lauren shouldn't be put in a position of being a career to Betsy.

She should be having carers /nurses in to changed her and prevent bed sores.

Has Lauren even been taught how to care safely for Betsy ?

Lauren is only a kid herself ...all beit a mardy one !

Carla was out of order to scream at Lauren like that.

Eta an extra sentence.

zanahoria · 05/08/2026 21:42

I thought Carla was out of order.

Lauren messed up but she is not a paid carer just a friend who was trying to help out

RockinCara · 05/08/2026 21:51

Carla and Swain scream at everyone without ever knowing the full story.

Even Betsy was out of order there - didn’t she tell Lauren to leave?
I wish they’d give Lauren a proper life. A bit of character/a chance.

Where’s Frankeh when she’s with Betsy

JewelleryCat · 05/08/2026 21:56

No @bizzey I don’t think Lauren has ever been shown how to safely care for Betsy but yes, you make a good point. Apart from the speech therapist, she would have carers wouldn’t she to come in and help

Thanks for saying about the commode, I’ve never seen it so you have better eyesight than me!

Jodie should go and wor with Wendy. We never see Wendy. That would get rid of Jodie.

Bethany was very quick to help Kit dump Gary in the shit

Who the heck is Wendy?

JewelleryCat · 05/08/2026 23:10

Wendy had an affair with Ken and she also was a foster carer I think it was, she took Abi and Alfie in to show Social Services that Abi could be a good mum and stay clean so Wendy was reporting back

zanahoria · 05/08/2026 23:15

So now all the kids at Weathy High are talking about Betsy's sex life?
