The Corriedale crossover episode, which is airing at the start of January, will see the worlds of Coronation Street and Emmerdale collide for a dramatic and game-changing evening.
From the cobbles, characters that will definitely feature include Kit Green, James Bailey, Asha Alahan, Carla Connor and Shona Platt, while Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle, Sarah Sugden, Charity Dingle, Jacob Gallagher, Robert Sugden and Joe Tate will be involved in the drama as well.
The group join previously announced David Platt, Tracy Barlow, Liam Cavanagh, Aaron Dingle and Lisa Swain.
Shona (Julia Goulding) and Charity (Emma Atkins) are both currently pregnant. Shona is carrying David (Jack P Shepherd) baby, while things are much more complicated for Charity.
She is pregnant with Ross Barton’s (Michael Parr) baby, but is allowing everyone to believe that she’s being a surrogate for granddaughter Sarah (Katie Hill) and her partner Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant).
A new trailer and spoilers for Corriedale reveal Charity attempting to help Shona during a scene in Hotten General Hospital. Shona can be screaming – but what has she discovered?
Coming up also in Corriedale, Kit (Jacob Roberts) works hard to take control of the multi-vehicle pile up, while Carla (Alison King) attempts to calm someone down.
Prior to her scenes in the hospital, Shona and David are tended to at the roadside by Jacob, while Asha (Tanisha Gorey) heads to help Cain (Jeff Hordley) with more causalities.
Corriedale, which is one hour long, will air at 8pm on January 5. It will not drop earlier in the day on ITVX.
Half hour episodes of both Emmerdale and Corrie will be shown at 7pm and then 7:30pm – these two instalments will be available on ITVX.
Iain MacLeod, ITV’s Executive Producer for Continuing Drama, previously teased the game-changing episode and said:
‘It’s beyond exciting that filming is under way on Corriedale. There is a massive buzz around both the Leeds and Manchester sites and the images coming out of the shoot are utterly spectacular.
‘And that’s before we’ve even got to all the brilliant transpennine interactions between characters from the different shows!
He added: ‘As a soap fan myself, I think my head is going to explode when the episode airs next year. It will be mind-blowing, historical and unmissable.’
