This week on the podcast, we cover the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 29th October and the 2nd November, which can mean only one thing: Halloween special! Though Corrie didn’t particularly do much for our Gemma’s favourite holiday this year beyond a bit of a dress up in the Rovers, the spectre of death still loomed over a number of characters this week, none more so than Sinead, whose predicament was so dire that she even got her own special episode on Monday. We talk about our reactions to this (kind of) four hander, discussing what worked and what didn’t for us, as well as mulling over whether we’d like to see this kind of thing more often on Corrie. Also this week, not only is Ali ‘Doctor Death’ Neeson still being haunted by his actions after the car crash a few weeks ago, he also has a wailing banshee to contend with in the form of his mum Michelle. Meanwhile, Steve returns from the desert looking like something out of a horror movie, and Nick gets his claws into factory. Speaking of Underworld, we hope you’ve got a spare pair of pants ready for the next section of the podcast, as it’s time for some Corrie ghost stories! With some spooky music in the background, we recount four chilling tales of the paranormal from Coronation Street’s past. We had loads of fun putting together this bit as it’s something quite different for the podcast, so we hope you enjoy it! The spooky theme continues into The Kabin, as we take a look at some of the cast’s Halloween costumes this year and learn who will soon be performing on stage in the Rocky Horror Show, then we finish off with some frightfully good feedback from our listeners.
