For this week's character profile, we chat about one of Corrie's brightest young stars of the past few years, Asha Alahan! Though Tanisha Gorey has been in the role of Asha since 2009, it wasn't until Iain Macleod took over as producer that show stepped up a gear with her character, and Tanisha got some much deserved praise for her work on stories such as Asha's skin lightening and sexting. In this profile, we talk about her story so far on the show, and what our hopes are for her now that she's reached adulthood.

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 8th and the 12th April (Episodes #11,234 - 11,239).

All in all, a pretty decent week for Corrie this week, we thought, thanks to Roy Cropper being front and centre once again. Yes, we've all seen characters being wrongly imprisoned before, and yes, we know that he's not going to be spending his final days in a prison cell and that something's going to come along eventually to exonerate him, but we're still very much enjoying the journey, as unwise and naive as some of Roy's decisions may have been of late! Same with the Institute story too - all this talk of reality coding is utterly bonkers, but we're so intrigued as to where it's leading for Leanne, Nick and Toyah (just please no secret affair for the latter two, Corrie!). The bits with Liam and Dylan didn't necessarily spark that much excitement, and the less said about the lack of stability behind the scenes at the Rovers the better, but on the whole, this week's given us a lot to chat about!

After the Street Talk segment, we're off to The Kabin, where there's yet another rumour fuelled article about the so-called crisis at Corrie to contend with, plus, for a bit of lighter news, we check out where Corrie related folks have ended up in the Radio Times' list of Top 100 most influential people in TV. We finish off the show with more of your feedback.

We recently took a trip up to Manchester again to take a look at what was new for 2024 at the Coronation Street Experience. As well as that, we enjoyed a night out at the Palace Theatre seeing See Cleaver star as Mother Superior in Sister Act, caught up with some of the cast members outside the Corrie studios, visited some old filming locations including what has become of the old set at Quay Street and even travelled to Belfast to meet up with Michael Condron, who played Griff, on his home turf!
