Coronation Street Blog Exclusive: Interview with Chris Harper
New character Nathan Curtis has spent just under a month on Coronation Street, and yet has already provided viewers with enough reason to believe he is a sinister prospect, particularly where Bethany Platt is concerned. So far, we have seen him charm and flatter her, instil belief in her capabilities, and assure her of her…

Tandem Departure
Coronation Street double episode review, Friday 20 January 2017. Friday’s double bill of Corrie was chock-full of comings and goings which gave it an animated, fast-paced feel as it all built up to a nail biting crescendo. Yes, much like the Gavin he was, but actually wasn’t, Andy’s number was up, and it looked as…

Coronation Street Blog Interviews with Kym Marsh, Simon Gregson, Kate Oates and Erica Stewart
I always look forward to my trips to ITV in Manchester, and while yesterday’s was no exception, a rather different prospect lay ahead of me on this occasion. Travelling on behalf of the Coronation Street Blog to view last night’s heart rending episode in which Michelle tragically lost baby Ruairi at 23 weeks, I would…

Creating Coronation Street Blog – The Book
When Coronation Street Blog editor Glenda came up with the idea of publishing a book of our blog posts through the years, I was thrilled. A blog, by its very nature, is a living thing, and as new posts are added, old ones naturally fall further away from its home page, and into the archives,…

In with the Old and Out with the New
Coronation Street episode review, Friday 30 December 2016. It’s New Year’s Eve on the cobbles, a time for celebrations, revelations, secret escapes and public farewells.

Saint Nick Drones On
Coronation Street episode review, Friday 23 December 2016. Christmas arrives early in Weatherfield as Maria’s freedom hangs in the balance, and a crew gather to celebrate the festive season with her before the court appearance which may see her jailed. Eva’s bunny boiler tendencies have taken a back seat of late. She used to see…

Nightmare on Coronation Street
Coronation Street double episode review, Friday 16 December 2016. ‘Tis the season to be gathered around a hospital bed in Weathie General, and this time it’s the Grimshaws’ turn in the wake of Andy’s assault on Phelan. It was all nicely set up for Kevin to be prime suspect after being foiled in an earlier…

The Spy Who Came in from the Hall
Yes, my relief at the end of the disappeared-presumed-murdered Caz saga sees me willing to overlook many of the zany elements of this story, but the sheer presumption and convenience in tonight’s conclusion were entertaining in themselves, and so definitely worth a look. It was with lightning speed that Kate spotted a camera purchase on…

Part of the Furniture
Coronation Street double episode review, Friday 25 November 2016. I do love a good Corrie drama, even the odd stunt, but the most enjoyable aspect of watching for me has always been intimately experiencing the lives of its characters as if you’re the unseen guest at every table. Friday’s double Corrie captured that feeling perfectly…
