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.

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...

Only the bald head!

I know it’s the lack of hair, but Ritchie and Tim do have similar features too I think. They have done a good job of finding similar looking actors.

Corrie's version of the Mitchell Brothers

Corrie’s Mitchell brothers! Will Ritchie go after Salleh? Although he called her a handful didn’t he, so maybe not !

Picking two actors who looked like they could be brothers did work very well for EastEnders, neither were brilliant actors but it just clicked

OI!! I won’t have anything said about Phil ! Steve McFadden is a brilliant actor as Phil.
( I agree that Grant wasn’t as good though) 😊

Kit is a person I would call ‘ urbane’

Fair point, he has grown into the role

She did she accused him of being corrupt

Bit of a cliffhanger tonight

Kit looked absolutely gutted. I had to laugh at Sarah saying she didn’t want to risk his career. Bit late for that!

Oh actually, isn't Richie Tim's cousin? I think Tim has mentioned it a couple of times. Maybe that's why they look alike? Still, as has been said, they did well getting 2 actors who look alike. (Cousins do sometimes look similar ...)

Decent episode tonight, although once again, a brand new character is thrown into a big storyline. (Richie.) I wonder why they keep doing this? It feels like they 'peak' too soon.

Felt a bit for Kit when Sarah called time on their relationship. It looked like she was starting to cry on the way out of the room too. So I don't think she wants to finish. She's just giving Kit a way out of this mess.

Sarah is very good at getting blokes to fall over themselves to help her then leaving them in the lurch

Where were the girls (mark II) while sally was away? Surely you can’t have random men staying on the sofa at a foster house? I’m hoping they were out of town as well

They are in Spain

She flew over with them then came home

Ah ok thanks

Sally's house looks over furnished and a nightmare to dust. All those room dividers and ornaments!

Sally and Tim's love life is BORING.

I wish they would just get on with Sarah's trial

Lauren managed to plead self defence even though she had covered it up

Toyah got away with killing Imran

Tracy was released after only a few years

Ma Driscoll killed her husband and nobody has dobbed her in

So another woman who has killed a bloke on the street won't be out of place

At least they aren't strangling each other

Wasn’t sarah involved with the body under the garage at the Platt house? She’s no novice to crime anyway!

Kylie killed Callum when he was attacking Sarah but she has covering up murder experience

So Sarah has binned Fit Kit who has been helping Bethany look after Harry as a surrogate father who the hell does she think is going to look after him long term? Poor kid hasn’t been thought of at all . She could go down for a long stretch (OK maybe not as obvs Tina isn’t leaving) and not once has she discussed what will happen to him. After all Bethany is still very young and has her whole life ahead of her and I’m guessing will go to work ?? Madness

Well I don’t know how Gary and Maria will go to Florida as they both have a criminal record and won’t get an ESTA and haven’t mentioned going to London to get a visa so someone is going to be disappointed at the boarding gate !!! 🤣

Please don't spoil the Florida dream. I want to see the dream holiday happen.

Garreh booked it up a while back and he didn’t think about the logistics did he !
