Conversation Street Podcast Episode #628


In our latest podcast, we share our thoughts on what went on in Corrie between the 13th and the 17th May 2024 (Episodes #11,264 - 11,269).

There were a few nice little mysteries this week that keep us guessing, with the question of the identity of Nathan's attacker on Wednesday being the most intriguing - even if we didn't think Corrie quite stuck the landing once the mystery assailant was revealed. Bernie's search for her long-lost son also proved quite interesting, and with Christopher / Kit / Zodiac / Zac now working under the iron-fisted DS Swain, it looks like we may be seeing a whole lot more of him in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the always entertaining Sally provided the laughs on Friday as she sucked up to Demi, the garage takes one step closer to coming out of the dark ages thanks to a new website and Leanne heads off on an Institute retreat - but just how brainwashed will she be on her return?

After a brief news section we delve into the mailbag with some of your feedback, including one listener's ponderings on modern Corrie lacking main characters like Les Battersby with clearly bigoted views - and how he thought the Max story should have ended differently.

For this week's bonus podcast, we chat about the Crusher himself, Duggie Ferguson. Despite coming into the show as the intolerant father of salon stylist Tom and spending pretty much all his time on the show trying to get one over his business rivals by fair means or (more usually) foul, we reckon Duggie's generally looked back on with fondness from those who watched Corrie back at the turn of the millennium, and in this episode, we try to figure out why. From his disastrous year at the helm of the Rovers to his demise at the hands of Richard Hillman, we cover all of Duggie's best bits here - enjoy!

THE NET CLOSES ON NATHAN’S ATTACKER As Bethany mulls over who Nathan’s attacker might be, Shona quizzes David about the stain on his jeans, not convinced by his story. David assures Bethany and Sarah he’s innocent but they’re interrupted by Shona brandishing the tracking app on David’s phone which proves he was at the building site when Nathan was attacked.

When Craig lets slip that Nathan was with his girlfriend and she works at a nail bar in town, Bethany points out that he was running a tanning salon when he groomed her. Sarah confides in Gary that she’s worried about Bethany as she’s become fixated on trying to pin Lauren’s murder on Nathan.

Toyah studies Rowan’s page and copies a number into her phone. Toyah meets with Rowan’s ex, Una and explains how her sister has become embroiled in the Institute and she’s worried she might be in danger. Will she get the confirmation she’s been fearing? 

BERNIE FEARS SHE’LL NEVER FIND HER SON Bernie tells Dev that there’s one more Christopher Green on her list and she’s going to pay him a visit. But when she discovers he died of cancer, Bernie knocks back the drink, fearing she’s missed the chance to find her son.
