Conversation Street

After his dramatic exit from the Street last week, Corrie actor Luca Toolan comes onto the podcast to talk about his year and a half playing bad boy Mason Radcliffe. We chat about Luca's interpretation of his thought-provoking exit episode, the secrets behind his final scenes and what it was like acting alongside the likes of Bill Fellows, Sally Dynevor and Vicky Myers.

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 6th and the 10th January (Episodes #11,461 - 11,466). Wow, what an incredible week that was! After the all-too perfect happy ending that was being built up for Mason last week, we had a feeling that he might not be making it out of Monday's episode alive, but we weren't expecting an episode quite like that. In a sequence that was part dream, part parallel universe, Corrie showed us what might have happened had Dylan not bought that zombie knife a few months back, before ultimately revealing how it actually led to Mason's tragic end. There were powerhouse performances all round as characters reacted to the news of the stabbing, and plenty of discussion was generated relating to who was ultimately responsible for 2024's first death on the cobbles. Not only that, but we also said a fond (and hopefully temporary) farewell to Evelyn as she headed off to university, whilst over at the prison, Bobby has a big request for a familiar face from the past... Next up on the podcast, it's The Kabin, where we take a look at the non-spoilery Corrie news of the week, and we finish things off with more of your fantastic feedback.

What a week it’s been for #Corrie! Whether you love spoilers or loathe them, news about the next twelve months on the cobbles has been everywhere this week - and for big fans of the show, most of it has been pretty hard to avoid. Although we usually steer clear of spoiler talk on the podcast, we couldn’t resist weighing in on what’s been revealed this week, especially since it’s also the perfect chance to discuss some of the 2025 storylines teased by new producer Kate Brooks at the press day we attended back in November. If you’re avoiding spoilers, this is one to skip - but if you’re keen to hear our take on some of Corrie’s biggest upcoming news and rumours, sit back and enjoy!

In this week’s bonus episode, we take a deep dive into all things Coronation Street in 2024 - a year where the drama behind the scenes often rivalled what was playing out on screen! From the departure of producer Iain Macleod and the early releases on ITVX, to a wave of concerning press articles about the state of our beloved soap, it was certainly a bit of a challenging year to be a Corrie fan. But as always, there were plenty of moments that stood out for the right reasons. For every misstep - like the George and Glenda feud - there were episodes, stories, and characters that captured our imagination, including Paul's heartbreaking journey with MND and the chaotic antics at the Institute. We also had the multiple twists of the Joel and Lauren saga, the credulity-stretching reveal of Toyah’s baby, the undeniable charm of Dorin, and of course... #Swarla. In this episode, we’ll unpack everything we loved, everything that didn’t quite hit the mark, and everything in between. We hope you enjoy the ride!
