Conversation Street Episode 8 and Cancer Storylines Discussion

On this week’s show, we talk about the Coronation Street episodes broadcast in the UK between the 1st and 5th October.  The bulk of our Street Talk coverage this week focuses on Tyrone’s new role as a stay at home dad and Maria’s breast cancer scare, but we also chat briefly about Mary’s new role managing the café, Ken’s big secret and the lack of anything particularly interesting happening in Lloyd’s storyline!  We also try something a bit different in the profile section this week, as we consider past occasions where characters on the Street have been hit by cancer, and discuss how successful producers have been in featuring this sensitive issue.
