On this week’s show, we talk about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 9th and the 13th March (Episodes #11,809 – 11,813)

After weeks of speculation and theorising (and one heck of a lot of dramatic facial expressions from Maggie), the truth about Jim’s secret affair  – and, presumably, Ben’s parentage –  came to light this week. Although we’re not so keen on yet another revision to a long-established character’s back story, we can’t deny loving the drama, and the interweaving of Ben’s heart condition with Jim’s own medical issues was cleverly done. Elsewhere on the street, Theo called time on his relationship with Todd – but do any of us really expect it to last? Also this week, tensions between Sam and Megan ramp up, Amy has a disastrous date with Ollie, and there’s much ado about a doo-doo when Jodie engages in foul play with Adam.

Up next on the podcast it’s The Kabin, where we weigh in on recent rumours of pay cuts for cast members in the light of episode number reductions, and we round off the the show with more of your feedback.
