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...

Kit is gorgeous, but he seems the sort who knows it.

I wouldn’t have paired those two up.

What a weird thing to say you do realise they are actors and playing a role it’s not how they are IRL!

I don't get the whole "fit Kit" thing. He looks fine at a distance (tall, slim) but his face reminds me of Mr Potato Head. Corrie did the whole female abuser story before with Tyrone's former wife (mother of Ruby.) It wasn't done well then and if that's the direstion they're going, it will be worse this time. We don't know or care about the characters. I agree that Tim and Sally will wind up with Lucy. "The Girls" mark two will probably stay with their convenient aunt in Spain. The scriptwriters had no more ideas about what to do with them. "Our Brodeh" (oh how I can't stand Bernie!) will stay but then he's "proper" family. This programme has become an absolute shit show.

I dont think hes fit either. He's average looking. Although I do have a thing for really tall men!

David on the other hand has always given me fanny flutters BlushGrin

the80sweregreat · 12/08/2026 14:12

I like David. I like his dry humour and how he just gets on with all the madness. I bet he is actually like that irl
!

Hes pretty average, thinks hes amazing ,the whole gritting his teeth thing gets on my nerves
Idris is average also, all that grinning is irritating
Adam on the other hand but it depends on his hair 😂

I know Idris is a bit of a scumbag, but he is very handsome!

Oh no. He looks like a complete skank

Certainly not my idea of handsome, has a rather weird face.

Yes if they are going to keep Jodie, they need to decide what to do with her.

Imprison her, hopefully, she is an irritant

zanahoria · 12/08/2026 15:59

Not sure if there are too many kids on Corrie but it is silly the way keep showing out of nowhere

TheignT · 12/08/2026 18:16

luckylavender · 12/08/2026 15:10

He's got that bad boy charm thing that lots of women find attractive.

FlibbertyGibbitt · 12/08/2026 18:42

Lisa Swain the ONLY detective in Weatherfield is now investigating the death of Ritchie’s wife ! She’s a busy bee .

the80sweregreat · 12/08/2026 18:48

Lisa is running the cop shop on her own isn’t she.

eggandonion · 12/08/2026 23:22

Nice to have a laydee detective being important though . Just a shame shes not a good detective!

the80sweregreat · 13/08/2026 02:41

Considering the amount of crime in Weatherfield You’d think that they would have teams of detectives, not just Lisa and that other lady one and Kit when he isn’t doing an impression of a homeless man drinking on benches.

eggandonion · 13/08/2026 08:35

I think we need Theo to rest in peace and to move on. I haven't a clue what's going on. Craig should have been promoted not killed off.

Deadringer · 13/08/2026 12:02

I don't find Idris charming at all but I think the actor is very handsome, much better looking than Kit imo.

Like a lot of Corrie characters, he is way better looking in real life.

He just looks a bit grubby on Corrie

I wonder if that's recent. I think he looks older on Corrie, not that there's anything wrong with being/looking older.

Grubby, hairy and sweaty!

Reminds me of Peter Dinklage in Elf

the80sweregreat · 13/08/2026 14:30

I like Idris. He has a certain charm.

SabreIsMyFave · 13/08/2026 15:10

Agree about Idris. He's grown on me. He has that Peter Barlow, 'roughneck and a bit of a dickhead, but still attractive and charming' type of quality. He has a cheeky smile and a twinkle in his eye too... He looks proper nice in that pic above! ^ Kit is attractive also IMO. Not because he's tall as I'm not fussed about tall men, (I mean I don't like them any more than shorter men,) he is just quite attractive... He has really nice eyes IMO.

The actor Jacob Roberts was on Lorraine a while back, and she was telling him he has been labelled Fit Kit on some message forums. I wonder if she meant here?! 😆

But yeah, Kit is (quite) fit I think.

Kit and Idris - both gorgeous imo. I liked Kit when he was in Hollyoaks. Gives me proper tingles 🤣
