For this week’s bonus podcast, we take a look at a selection of Corrie characters who’ve been banged up for crimes they didn’t commit! With both Summer and Debbie spending time at His Majesty’s pleasure in the past few months alone, we thought the time was right to chat about this increasingly common type of storyline, exploring when it works and when it falls sadly short. Plenty of characters have followed in Deirdre’s footsteps since she famously cried out in court that she “didn’t do any of it!” back in 1998, but have any of Corrie’s attempts to recreate the success of that story ever come close? 
Unfortunately, time has not been on our side this week, and we’ve not managed to cover every single wrongful imprisonment storyline the show has produced over the years. Don’t worry though – we’ll be back next week with Part 2! In the meantime, we’d love to hear from you: which Weatherfield miscarriage of justice storylines stand out as your favourite and least favourite? Write in and let us know!
