Conversation Street Episode 579

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 5th and the 9th June (Episodes #10971 - 10976). Isn't it strange how much hype and expectations for a week can affect your enjoyment of it? We'd built ourselves up for the BGT episodes so much that we couldn't help but be a little disappointed last week, but with that build up removed for this week, we were able to simply enjoy them for what they were - a solid set of eps that were super tense and dramatic at times and laugh out loud funny at others. There've been a good number of bad mothers over the years on Corrie, and Sarah's actions this week put her comfortably among them as she tried to convince little Harry that he was seeing things when he reported witnessing a full-on snoggeroo between her and Damon. With the affair now out in the open, surely a pregnancy has got to be on the horizon? Meanwhile, the Baileys' encounter with two of their snobby ex-neighbours sets the wheels in motion for a proper classic Corrie comedy caper. On top of all that, we've got the surprising verdict in Justin's trial, Carla's resignation from the factory for what feels like the millionth time (and a possible next victim for Stephen in the form of new boss Owen?) and our first encounter with a resident of the precinct flats. All in all, a great week! There's some heartbreaking news in The Kabin this week as Corrie legend Julie Goodyear is diagnosed with dementia, but there's also lots to celebrate too, including the British Soap Award results and the opening of the new exhibition space at The Coronation Street Experience. We round off the podcast with more of your feedback, including thoughts on BGT Week, Maxine's murder on Classic Corrie and a celebration of Dee Dee Bailey!
