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...

Ya know what, I'm not sure!

The conversation in Speed Dahl was very confusing!

Apparently so. Smile Many prisoners have a phone in their cell. They are restricted on who they can call, and for how long, and the calls will be recorded, but it's a fairly recent initiative.

Well there you go! Thanks

I think it was Roy we saw with the phone in his cell. When he was accused of killing Lauren. Maybe its just people who are on remand, awaiting trial that get phones. Innocent until proven guilty.

Yes it was! May have been a couple more, but Roy had a phone.

Summer had a phone when she was inside.

Why is Abi asking him for light bulbs surely a tenant would buy their own.

eggandonion · 10/08/2026 00:06

I know she is saying light bulbs...but she's giving him a come hither look. He will be round the flat getting up to no good.

JellyBeanSpring25 · 10/08/2026 00:39

Where is Lou? She’s still inside isn’t she? She befriended Debbie while she was in prison, I would have thought she’d have definitely come forward to be Sara’s friend.

Phones are available quite freely if on remand. Once sentenced, that’s a privilege taken away.

I liked the scene in the shop with Ronnie and Dylan. Ronnie’s a good man, not a good thing in the street! Sally was funny too.

Agree with PPs, Idris & Abby sitting in a tree…k-i-s-s-I-n-g

I called it ages ago Abi will be waking up next to Idris in no time!
yes where is Lou? Was it the evil looking dark haired woman who hit Sarah? Why do they always show Sally and Tim sexually frustrated with innuendo like out of a Carry On film? the reality of being married that long would be so different!

Empress13 · 10/08/2026 07:13

Thought Maria’s response to Fit Kit when he reminded her he was a police officer was fab!

LesserSpottedCharacter · 10/08/2026 07:30

So did I @Empress13 .

Can we not have a new character who is bearable, just once? Tim's cousin, I do hope he buggers off very soon.

I missed Sarah being hit.

NCTDN · 10/08/2026 07:39

I don’t think they saw her being hit? I missed it too if they did.

LesserSpottedCharacter · 10/08/2026 07:41

Ah, thanks @NCTDN , I thought I must have missed a bit.

the80sweregreat · 10/08/2026 07:45

Tim and Ritchie do look alike !

She should have reminded him he was a bent police officer but she showed more fight than Gary

I am disappointed in hardman Gary for caving so easily

eggandonion · 10/08/2026 10:00

Gary is going to tell the truth...I think that Garreh truth might not correspond to Sarah truth? I really need them to go to Florida.

Yep. Could be brothers!

Re Sarah being hit. I just rewatched last night's episode, because I thought I must have not been paying attention. But it's done off camera.

Just watched tonight's as I won't be in tonight. It's a good one.

It's all a load of testicles as usual but I do approve of Tim's new beardy look. As for Kit..... he's tall and decent looking but no more than that imo. 🙂

Yes I think it was Bethany looking at her a bit horrified and then you see Sarah's face. Better that way, staged fights rarely look convincing, sometimes our imaginations are better.

He seems to have taken on some responsibility for Harry which is a positive thing as he hasn't been in his life for long. As my GS, in his 20s, said when his baby cousin was born nothing impressed the girls as much as a big bloke looking after a baby. Harry's a bit older but I suppose the principle applies.

GS made sure there were lots of photos of him with baby cousin on his social media.

TheignT · 10/08/2026 11:35

The murder investigation makes me laugh. I've worked on murder incident rooms, they aren't manned by one DS and one other officer. In my experience they weren't run from the normal CID office. I suppose we all notice bits relevant to our own experience.

That will be revealed next week
