With the festive season just around the corner, fans can expect some big things. This week on screen, we’ve seen Debbie and Ronnie tie the knot, and Kit investigate into Carla’s disappearance. What a rollercoaster! Beyond this week, we’re looking forward to the new few months of exciting Corrie drama. Here’s what’s to come on the cobbles. Further details have been announced (Credit: ITV) 1. Corriedale In January 2026, a special ‘soap power hour’ will be introduced over on ITV which means that there will be a brand-new soap schedule to get used to. But, don’t worry, it’s fairly straight forward. Every weekday, half an hour of Emmerdale will air from 8pm-8.30pm. Coronation Street will then follow for half an hour from 8.30pm-9pm. To mark the change, a one-off special soap crossover episode will air. Already being titled Corriedale, the episode will involve an exciting stunt in ‘never been done before’ scenes.

So far, Danny Miller and Vicky Myers have been announced as just two of the names involved in the episode. The latest trailer has also confirmed the likes of Julia Goulding and Ryan Hawley to be in the episode too. Viewers are also able to vote for which character pairing they’d like to see on-screen. The options are Charity Dingle and Carla Connor, Ross Barton and Tracy Barlow, Nicola King and Roy Cropper, and Sam Dingle and Kirk Sutherland. It has also been revealed that the episode will revolve around a huge car pile-up. He’s set to be killed off (Credit: ITV) 2. Billy’s tragic end in Coronation Street spoilers Daniel Brocklebank has announced that he will be leaving his role of vicar Billy Mayhew during the festive period. His exit storyline is set to be an issue-based one, with reports suggesting that it will end in Billy’s tragic death. A source told The Sun: “Corrie bosses are busy plotting how to kill off Billy, having decided to axe Daniel earlier this year. “There aren’t any plans to bring him back onto the soap. So it makes sense to make his exit the most impactful and explosive it can be. “It’s likely Billy will be a focus point of the Christmas/New Year storylines, with fans expected to be at the edge of their seats in the run-up.” Fans have speculated that Theo Silverton could be the one to kill Billy, or that Billy will suffer a relapse and turn to drugs. How could he die though? Recently, Daniel Brocklebank announced that he has now finished filming his final scenes and has left the soap. The episode will reveal what goes on behind closed doors (Credit: ITV) 3. Todd and Theo’s abusive relationship in Coronation Street spoilers Todd and Theo’s relationship has been intensifying in a horrible way recently, with Theo becoming increasingly more controlling and violent towards his partner. Billy has just found evidence of Theo’s abuse, but could this bring the storyline to an end? Will and Megan are secretly dating (Credit: ITV) 4. Will’s grooming secret The Driscolls have officially arrived onto the cobbles and have moved into the Rovers! Maggie’s already shown that she likes to take charge, while Eva’s brought some bright and exciting ideas with her. The family is set to be at the heart of the community, which lots of exciting plans ahead for them. The family has a ‘suitcase full of secrets,’ with Eva’s baby secret being revealed this Christmas. Once huge secret so far is that Will Driscoll is being groomed by older woman and athletics coach, Megan. His family is unaware of their relationship. But, how long will it stay a secret for? And, with Megan also flirting with Daniel Osbourne, what will Will make of this? Becky’s plotting revenge (Credit: ITV) 5. Becky’s villain era Costello wants Becky out of the country and Becky’s alright with that (so long as Lisa and Betsy come with her). Now, she’s one step closer to her plan as Carla and Lisa have split up. But, Lisa still wants to get back with Carla instead of Becky. With Becky also behind Costello’s attack, she means business. This is just the start of Becky’s villain era though, as Sharon Marshall recently confirmed that Becky’s ‘going to be the next big Corrie villain.’ BIG. So, we can expect a lot more scheming and plotting from the newcomer. In scenes to come, Becky will plot to flee the country with Lisa and Betsy after being behind Carla’s disapperance. It’s about to get very dark. But, if anyone can bring Becky down, it’s Kit Green who is racing to stack the evidence up against Becky. Come on, Kit. Shona and David face a big decision (Credit: ITV) 6. Difficult baby news Shona Platt is pregnant. And, the whole Platt family is filled with some much-needed joy as Shona prepares for her baby scan. After missing the first scan due to David being stuck in a lift (typical), the couple are now ready to find out the gender of their little one. However, recent scenes saw David and Shona get some bad news. There’s a mass on their unborn baby’s neck and it could be cancerous. A special episode then saw David and Shona’s perspectives as they contemplated having major surgery that could put both Shona’s and the baby’s lives at risk. With Shona insisting on having the surgery, will it go smoothly? Maggie has a few secrets (Credit: ITV) 7. Maggie secrets Maggie Driscoll has a few secrets up her sleeve, with a flashback recently confirming that she killed her own husband Alan many years ago. She could be a lot more sinister than she makes out, with Maggie also desperate to split Eva and Ben up. Maggie’s rivalry with Eva will also come into play, but just what is Maggie hiding? Abi finds out about Carl’s plan (Credit: ITV) 8. Carl’s getaway plan Carl’s scheming ways come crashing down when Abi Webster finds out about his plans to leave her and head back to Germany. After confiding in Tracy, Abi’s desperate to get revenge on her lying partner. What will she have planned?
