CORONATION STREET THREAD. The rain's finally here, and the heatwave summer is over! (Probably!) It's Autumn 2026! **No spoilers please.**

[SabreIsMyFave]

Are we really on a new thread already! Only seems like 5 minutes since the last one began.

Sarah is still in prison/on remand, (for killing Theo,) and is toughening up in there now, hanging onto snooker balls in a sock to hit someone with! One of the prisoners in there has been threatening her and her family if Sarah doesn't get Kit to help her son who is in trouble. (But Sarah has dumped Kit!)

Ma Driscoll has been getting jiggy with Brian! Ollie is in trouble for having a go at Gary's son who appeared to be assaulting Christina when she was drunk on the floor.

Tim reconnected with a cousin he hadn't seen for several decades, (Richie) who went on to kill his wife, and now Tim and Sally are looking after his daughter, and Lou and Mick's girls are back with Tim and Sally too!

We haven't seen much of Debbie lately - or Summer, which is a shame, but plenty of mardy Todd who hates the world right now.

Bernie's aunt has just turned up in the form of glamourous actress Frances Barber, and has only a few weeks to live. So she is hoping Todd can help her with a Dolly Parton themed funeral. R.I.P lovely Dolly! ❤

Wasnt the irish fella taken to hospital because? Heart issues?
Ma was worried as Jim McD died of heart problems and she knew it was Irish fellas dad cant remember his name
Bit soon for another illness storyline
Mind you at least he wasnt run over! 😂

Also live in the Midlands (West!) I hope you enjoyed the storm(s!)

Also glad Fit Kit is breaking away from the Platt twats!

I do hope Celeste isn't dying, because Frances Barber makes a wonderful addition to Corrie. Attractive, glamourous, and classy, with a sultry voice! Almost impossible to believe she is closely related to Bernie. 😆

Oh yes, I forgot about shouty Irishman's potential heart issues.

Bit soon for another illness storyline
Bit soon for another murder storyline, but its never stopped the Corrie writers before.

I’m getting very bad vibes from Lucy - mentally unstable and probably killed the mum I think. Surely social services wouldn’t put another troubled girl with the two who are just getting over their own traumas
. I like George and Christina - better than miserable Eileen who acted like she hated him .

In fairness, she acted like she hated everyone

I’m in West Mids too lol yes storms were horrendous!

They were! And it's rained all day today! No thunder today though. Not that I have noticed.

Ooooh, I'd forgotten that Ben Driscoll was Steve McDonald's brother! That was a fleeting (and odd) storyline that doesn't seem to be mentioned now.

A nice touch this week was Jake as mini Gareh complete with ginger haircut and attitude

I thought it weird that Izzy was sat in Gary and Maria's flat like wife number 2.

By the way, does Gary's other child (can't remember the sex) that he had with Phelan's DD ever get a look in?

It was a boy with another name beginning with J I think .
Jack ?Josh ?

Gets mentioned.
I think Gary went to see him when he needed time off screen .

Ohh ..I had to look it up !!
Zach !

Isaac known as Zac. Gary occasionally mentions going to visit him.

Who never gets mentioned since she got back. Who is looking after her now Shona is back in Roy’s caff? Fit Kit has been hitting the bottle of late maybe that’s why he ain’t so Fit Kit🤣 gotta laugh how Izzy (how did them two
ever get together our Gareh has a type and Izzy ain’t it) is now part of furniture at Maria’s given she hasn’t had a storyline for decades ! Reckon there’s a big one coming up with bad lad Jake !

Isaac ! Thank you I didn't know that was his full name .

I have read through all this and can safely relax and not watch the episodes after my holidays

Underwhelming exit for Nina

Amy could not even be bothered to show up

Why would a dying woman check into a hotel?

Why was Gemma so concerned about Great Aunt Celeste? She never knew she existed until today! If someone told me that a great aunt I had never heard of was on her death bed, and I never knew she existed, I would have zero interest in seeing her.

Celeste has gone then. Looks like Frances Barber was only signed up for several episodes. Sad. Also sad that breast cancer is in the family.

Chesney is a bit ungrateful IMO. Yelling at Dev for paying Joseph's school fees. What was the mix up with the fees anyway? Just an excuse for Chesney to discover Dev's paying the fees eh?

And Nina has gone too.. After 7 years. I think the actress Mollie Gallagher has left to focus on theatre work. I wonder why Amy wasn't there to see her off. Summer and Asha were there... As has been said by @zanahoria what an underwhelming exit!

And is it just me, or are all the properties on Corrie now about 50% bigger inside than they were before they moved the show to another site in Manchester? Even Speed Dahl looks huge inside compared to how it used to look.

I thought the scene between Abby and Nina in the garden as they bonded over poor Seb was good and very sad.

I haven’t watched since Thursday, am I missing out?

It was, but I do struggle with Abi, because her face doesn't move. Sally Carman can't emote much now, because of all the fillers, botox, and collagen.

I loved Kit's nonchalant reaction

Me too. Like 'I've never met the woman!' Then moved on to the next subject... 😆

Oh I missed that.
