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...

i’m so upset as coro has been my comfort viewing for years but is now ridiculous. its more like watching the Bill/and/or Hollyoaks. I know soaps are not meant to be ultra real life, but honestly so many people going in and out of prison and being door stepped by useless coppers who constantly arrest the wrong people. I was on my last nerve with sarah killing theo but the strangulation story line is beyond ridiculous. i can’t watch at the moment and miss the humour and interesting characters 🤢

I think I've missed an episode. Since when did everyone suddenly know that Jodie was the one who hit Sarah over the head?

Yes I didn’t understand how Shona suddenly knew Jodie had hit Sarah.

Jodie already admitted it to Sarah but Sarah couldn’t report her as she had lied about what time it had happened. Now that Sarah has admitted to killing Theo she has nothing to lose by telling Kit it was Jodie. I don’t see why Kit wouldn’t tell David. He doesn’t need evidence for that, he was just repeating what Sarah had told him to her brother.

Kit told David. That’s how Shona would know.

I do wish Shona and David would remember why they threw Jodie out last time.

Was that Lily who found the nick nack box? And what sinister thing did she see in it?

It is particularly odd how many women commit violent crimes as that is extremely rare in real life. Male prisoners out number female ones by about 25-1.

I think so, although hasn't she seen it before?

Yes it did feel a bit odd

for once Shona told her to get lost but then started phoning her

It was the gun in the box I think. The one hidden by Carl.

Oh thanks. I'd forgotten about that gun.

Yes, she had seen it before, but I think it was the gun that she was so shocked about tonight (possibly/maybe)

Just caught up.

I really really hope that they are going to have some sort of issue caused by Lauren dragging Betsy off the bed to the toilet, without her consent - she very clearly said no, and didn't look happy when we came back to that scene with her in bed post toilet trip, with Lauren blathering on about how its what you do for mates..

No it fucking isn't, if any of my mates decided to ignore me and without my consent, drag me to the loo and start wiping my arse, I would go absolutely fucking mental, that would be assault. If they'd caused actual damage, even worse.

It would be clever if they contrast Dylan, with consent, doing harm to Betsy because neither of them realised the risk, vs Lauren, doing the wrong thing for what she thinks are the right reasons, and without consent, doing harm...

Not entirely confident they will though.

Not a bad episode tonight, although I did laugh when they said it was a Monday!

Don't like Jodie's weird blunt fringe, looks like she cut it herself!

Weird wig head man still looked batshit. How can Tracy possibly fancy him? 😖

Sam's back on The Street.

Maria all over Gary now ... 🙄

WHAT WAS IN THE TRINKET BOX?!

Jodie is in Shona's bad books again. For 10 minutes probably. Left with nothing again, no luggage, no coat, no handbag. Nothing.

I'm starting to like Idris. Dammit! 😆

Agree about the daft fake online reviews. And where would Cassie have left it about a 'boyfriend?' I don't know any such websites.

Watched two back to back yesterday and was also confused how Shona knew Jodie had assaulted Sarah just like that. Had forgotten about Sam !
I think that it’s the gun that she’s found that everyone else had forgotten about.

There are loads of Facebook pages along the lines of this. Usually called something like Are We Dating the Same Guy followed by areas so Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee etc.

Oh, I've never seen one. 😃 Never looked though to be fair! Maybe I'll have a look, see if my DH is on there! 😂

Can second this! I’m in the one for my city, find it fascinating!

Kit went into the salon to speak to David, we didn't hear what he said but then David and Shona knew about Jodie so Kit told them.

Ok, I may have missed an episode, but how did Kit find out that it was Jodie ?

I found out helping someone who received a letter in the post with screenshots of her partner and his activities going back years. The pages are mainly men and links to dating websites.

I wish someone could find the person who ripped off one of my colleagues for thousands and did a runner :(
Not sure why Tracey sees in Ross, he is belligerent and pretty horrible. I am surprised she’s even remotely interested even if a lot of it is to wind up Cassie! It’s still something most people would resist doing just to goad someone else.

I think Ross and Tracey are a well matched couple. Both horrible.

Shame it probably won't last.

Cassie should just tell everyone exactly who Ross is instead of this silly social media twaddle
