Huge carnage revealed in killer crash that kills Emmerdale and Corrie icons

Christmas may be over, but the best present any soap fan can ask for is about to be unwrapped. Coronation Street meets Emmerdale in an epic crossover episode where a devastating car cash explodes onto our scenes, leaving secrets exposed and relationships torn apart with only one thing for certain… someone is going to die.

Corriedale dives head first into the slaughter with this chilling preview of things to come.

As a beautiful day begins in the village of Emmerdale, a tranquil scene quickly turns ominous with the sudden appearance of the lifeless body being dragged away by an unseen assailant. 

Four different vehicles speed frantically away, each on a desperate mission of their own. The night rapidly unravels as two worlds appear destined to collide and a montage of suspects is revealed.

Who dies? Who kills? Let’s go through our rogue’s gallery of Emmerdale villagers and Weatherfield residents, and the chaos that awaits them.

Robron

Serial killer John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) is back – but maybe not for long. His attempt to exact revenge on his brother Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) and win back his ex-husband Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) isn’t exactly going swimmingly as the murderous army medic finds himself bound, gagged and staring down the barrel of a shotgun.

Suddenly, Aaron knocks Robert unconscious, and John’s heart soars to believe his dreams for a life with Aaron away from Emmerdale are about to coming true. Aaron confirms the sociopathic Sugden’s heart’s desire with a passionate kiss, reassuring John that all is well…

…but as soon as they’re outside, Aaron suddenly seizes the gun! John tries to grab it back, but Aaron gets the upper hand. He orders John at gunpoint to drive them to the police station.

Meanwhile in the flat, a groggy Robert regains consciousness. With blurred vision he staggers out of the flat in a panic. He finds Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) and pleads for help to save Aaron from John. Joe agrees to help. But can they catch up in time?

In the car, Aaron’s got the gun trained on John, but John is still firmly in control…and presses hard on the accelerator! Desperately fighting for his life, Aaron grabs the steering wheel, causing John to lunge for the gun, and their car veers dangerously out of control… 

Charity and Mac

The cat’s out of the bag. The truth that Charity Dingle’s (Emma Atkins) been hiding for months – the surrogate baby she’s been carrying for Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) and Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) is actually a result of a one night stand with Ross Barton (Michael Parr) – has finally been revealed. Now scorned husband Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) is taking his cheating wife on a revenge mission. Once he’s persuaded Charity to jump in his car, the rage churns within him as they drive along.

Their journey is so tense that Charity quickly becomes aware that she’s in danger…then Mack tackles the elephant in the car. Is it his baby?

Caught out, Charity finally concedes that the baby might not be Sarah’s and Mackenzie is utterly heartbroken not only at the magnitude of her lies, but the fact she would have let her granddaughter raise a baby that wasn’t hers.

He insists they go directly to the airport to tell Sarah the truth before she leaves for her honeymoon. Charity attempts to dissuade him but Mack won’t be reasoned with.

Meanwhile, Cain (Jeff Hordley) and Moira (Natalie J Robb) are taking Jacob and Sarah to Manchester Airport, when all of a sudden, they’re blinded by the car behind flashing its headlights – it’s Mack with Charity in the passenger seat. Cain stamps on the brakes, but it’s too late, and they watch in horror as Mack’s car smashes through a fence into a field…

Becky vs Carla

Meanwhile, Coronation Street legend Carla Connor’s (Alison King) got problems of her own as Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) finally tracks her down, and they set off in pursuit of the diabolical Becky Swain (Amy Cudden)  before she can swoop Lisa (Vicky Myers) and Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) out of the country.

But Kit’s got another mission to complete as he finds himself on the tail of the wanted fugitive John Sugden. When Carla calls Lisa, Becky gets distracted… and the car comes screeching to a halt. It’s a race against time to save the lives of those trapped at the crash site, but not everyone will make it.

All this chaos comes with an extra helping of mystery. While a queue of traffic forms behind the crash site, a small van pulls up. The driver glances in the back at a terrified woman, her wrists and ankles bound. Who is she?

The episode ends in Hotten General, the residents injured in the devastating crash are beginning to have their wounds tended. Their lives will never be the same as the aftermath of the crash gives rise to fear, murderous intent, death, destruction, closely-guarded secrets and lies.

Happy New Year!
