In the Kabin, there's some great news about the old set tour, then in the feedback section, we discuss how Corrie will cope without Deirdre. Our character profile this week is, of course, the brilliant Cilla Battersby-Brown, then stay 'til the end for a Kabin Extra, where we share our thoughts on even more returning characters, who'll be hitting the cobbles next year.

This week on the podcast, we talk about the episode of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 6th and the 10th October. Steve's feeling a bit down this week - is he making a mountain out of a mole(hill), or is there a more serious problem underneath? Elsewhere, Kylie finds it hard to resist temptation, and as Peter's trial gets ever nearer, Deirdre is feeling a trifle stressed. As we're feeling a bit under the weather this week, we didn't have time to put together a character profile, but we still manage to round off the podcast with some feedback and a few bits of Corrie news - including a preview of a cool Halloween event being organised at the Coronation Street set tour.

And speaking of dirty widows, Gail plans a weekend away with Michael this week - but will his dicky ticker cope with the non-stop adventure holiday destination that is Bakewell?

Conversation Street Episode 108
On the latest podcast, we talk about the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 1st and the 8th August, so we do. This week saw the return of two old favourites to the show: first off, Ken's back from Canada and is outraged to discover that Peter's been banged up on suspicion of Tina's murder. It's just a relief that he didn't bump into Roy at all, as the news of Weatherfield Library going up in flames probably would have finished him off! This week also saw the return of Jim McDonald - desperate times have called for desperate measures for Peter, and it seems like The Landlord has got just the 'measures' that he needs... As we're still feeling francophile after our recent holiday across the Channel, instead of a character profile this week, we look back at Corrie's links with France. Voulez-vous nous écouter ce soir?
