Conversation Street Episode 286

Merry Christmas, everyone! On our podcast this weekend, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 19th and the 22nd December. Get yourself comfortable, because there’s an awful lot to discuss! Anna’s attack on Eileen, Billy’s near-death experience and confession, Carla’s return, Todd’s departure… There’s over two hours of the show just dedicated to Street Talk this week! After that, we stay in the festive mood by looking back at some Corrie Christmas cliches – arguments, violence, dinner disasters, break ups… Weatherfield isn’t always the best place to be once December 25th rolls around, and we take a look at which years featured the most soap tropes in their Christmas Day episodes. There’s good news for Helen Flanagan and Mike LeVell in The Kabin, as well as a shocking revelation about a certain ex-cast member’s Twitter account, then we finish off the episode with a lot of love (and a bit of hate!) for Peter Barlow in the feedback section.
