Corrie certainly started this week with a bang, and it's one of those episodes where we wanted to get our reaction to it out there straight away! So as long as you've seen it too (and you really, really should be before you listen to this!), here are our immediate thoughts about the episode and what we think it might mean for the next few months on the cobbles!

On our latest podcast, we discuss the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 9th and the 13th February (Episodes #11,790 - 11,794)

This week, we meet Jodie and Shona's dad, Doug, though he's confined to his bed and certainly not in a good state of mind - though he's still lucid enough to know his youngest daughter's a wrong 'un. We're loving the mystery around this family, and Jodie's curious box of knickknacks has us wondering all sorts about what she's been up to! Also this week, Sam gets in touch with the Weatherfield drugs wizard when he hears that Ritalin can be used as a study aid - but is this a little too out of character for him? Also this week, Theo returns from his mum's, Mal proves himself to a a definite stalkery weirdo, and Debbie is assigned a prison buddy - and it's someone we were very happy to see again!

As much as we wanted to carry on with the podcast after this and discuss the cancellation of the BSAs, unfortunately Michael wasn't feeling too well at all, so we called it a day after Street Talk - so you'll just have to wait a little longer to hear our thoughts on the British Soap Awards' cancellation!

Who doesn't love a good moan, eh? As much as we adore Corrie, there's always something about the programme that grinds our gears, has us rolling our eyes, and gets us yelling "Bobbins!" at our screen from time to time! The Bobbins Awards are a firm fixture in our podcasting calendar - our annual chance to get a few gripes off our chests and revisit some of the less-than-stellar moments from the past year. Who had the most rubbish return? Which newcomer do we just want to do one? And who were the mardiest mare and dirtiest dog on the cobbles? Hear us discuss our nominees and pick our winners in the Bobbins Awards 2025!
