We're back for Round 9 of Corrieliminator, the series where we select a random 30 Corrie characters and pit them against each other! With only 60 characters left to sort, anyone who isn't picked this month will automatically be up for discussion in Round 10 - and the grand finale will be with us very soon! But before all that, this month's selection, and we've got some BIG names this round. Some real favourite characters of ours couldn't even make it into the Top 10, and we can't wait to see who you pick too, so make sure you get over to https://forms.gle/np6Sy4FukY5grtHD9 to pick your own favourite three!

Conversation Street Episode 670
On our latest podcast, we have a natter about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 3rd and the 7th March 2025 (Episodes #11,507 - 11,512).
It seems that barely a fortnight can go by at the moment without Corrie treating us to a big, hyped up episode, and after the stabbing, the fire and the kidnapping, this Wednesday saw David counting down the hours to his own demise in a desperate attempt to get Harvey off his back. We're not sure what was faster, to be honest - Andy careening down Rosamund Street towards the heavy-hearted hairdresser or David's rash decision that this was the only way out of the hole he's found himself in, but we had plenty of thoughts about how the episode played out, including poor Daisy's inclusion. Also this week, as Max is sentenced to six years in prison, Dylan settles down into life behind bars himself; Kevin accuses Abi and Ronnie of having an affair; and Yasmeen decides to sell her shares in Speed Daal and move down to London.
Next up on the podcast, it's The Kabin, and we're cheering Sam Aston on ahead of his appearance in the Dancing On Ice final this weekend, and we finish things off with more of your feedback.

Listener Questions
It seems like quite a while since we've done a listener question segment, but thanks to some recent submissions from some of you guys, we thought now was the time to bring it back again. This time, we begin by tackling Tom's question relating to the 1961 Equity Actors' strike, which saw the Corrie cast reduced to just 14 core characters for a number of months. If that happened today, which characters would we choose to keep the programme running? After that, we pondeR Jon's question about the term 'classic Corrie'. People are always saying whether this or that feels like classic Coronation Street, but what does that mean to us?

Conversation Street Episode 669
On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 24th and the 27th February 2024 (Episodes #11,501 - 11,506).
It was a bit of a barm cake of a week this week, with a fantastic visit to Weatherfield on Wednesday sandwiched between two episodes that really did leave a bit of a bitter taste in our mouths. To learn that such a chirpy, positive character as Julie has returned to the Street after ten years not to inject a ray of sunshine into the sometimes quite bleak world of Weatherfield but to reveal she has stage 4 cancer is one thing, but to then have Kevin be told that his own procedure last week was only partially successful really is a tough pill to swallow. Fortunately, there were still moments in the week we really enjoyed too - Ken's unveiling of Cassie's scheme was really fun to watch, and as much as we can't back Jenny's encouraging Daisy to lie about her baby's father, we couldn't help but get caught up in all the drama there too. So all in all, a very mixed bag this week, but still a lot of fun to chat about!
Next up on the podcast, we take a trip to The Kabin, where the author and setting of the new Coronation Street interactive novel are revealed (good news on both counts, in our book!), and we round off the show with all your thoughts on the latest Weatherfield goings on in the feedback section.

Jenny Connor Character Profile Revisit
Back in 2015, when we first profiled Jenny Bradley upon her return to the cobbles after 22 years away, we had no idea she would quickly go on to become one of our favourite ever Corrie characters. Ten years later, and we're back to chat about everything she's been up to in the past decade, from toddler dangling highs to soggy sinkhole lows.
