For ten years now, we’ve enjoyed watching Christine Mackie as Dr Susan Gaddas, the go-to GP for Weatherfield residents. In this interview, Christine chats about her favourite moments diagnosing some of Corrie’s biggest legends. From treating everyone from Steve McDonald to Roy Cropper, to that memorable scene where Tim Metcalfe’s bares his bits – we cover it all! Does she think Gaddas should become a regular character? How hard is it to memorise all that medical jargon? And just what does she think of that Badass nickname? Tune in and find out!

On our latest edition of the podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 16th and the 20th September 2024 (Episodes #11,363 - 11,368).

As Joel got hauled into Weatherfield Police Station for the umpteenth time and Lauren spent yet another set of episodes standing over Frankie's incubator looking tragic, we were definitely starting to get a little weary of Swain and Dee-Dee's investigations this week, but with the CPS *finally* agreeing to charge him on Friday, it looks like things might now be set to move forward. We might not have had too much to say about that story, but the aftermath of Paul's death certainly elicited some lively discussion - we're very much on Team Billy here and think that Bernie's being totally out of order... though we realise that that's not necessarily the prevailing opinion among viewers! Also this week, everyone's jetting off abroad, as Tracy returns to Spain, Bethany finds a job in Turkey and Tyrone fails to stop Alina returning to Romania with Dorin.

In The Kabin, we cover the news of the second loss to the Corrie family in as many weeks as Don Brennan actor Geoff Hinsliff passes away, and we round the show off with more of your feedback.

This week's bonus podcast is a character profile of Jed Stone, following the sad news of actor Kenneth Cope's passing last week. A bit of a proto-Eddie Yeats figure, Jed ducked and dived his way around Weatherfield during the 1960s, though he's perhaps best known in this stint for his touching relationship with landlady Minnie Caldwell. Jed returned to the cobbles 42 years later in 2008, and many of you will remember how he almost came a cropper at the hands of Tony Gordon!
