The highly anticipated Corriedale crossover event is almost upon us, with ITV releasing explosive new spoilers that promise death, destruction, and dramatic twists for the residents of both Coronation Street and Emmerdale.
The Devastating Collision
New details confirm that the monumental event will be triggered by a catastrophic multi-vehicle pile-up. The chaos unfolds on a dark and stormy road between Hotten and Weatherfield, with life-changing repercussions for all involved. The incident stems from a series of dramatic events converging at the same terrifying moment.
According to the latest teasers, Becky Swain, who is fleeing her past with Lisa and Betsy, loses control of her vehicle. This single act sets off the chain reaction that leads to the massive crash, ensnaring numerous characters from both soaps in the devastation.
Chaos on the Road: Who's Involved?
The build-up to the collision involves several high-stakes storylines reaching their peak. In Emmerdale, a gun-wielding John Sugden is on a revenge mission, forcing Aaron Dingle into a dangerous pact to save Robert Sugden's life. Meanwhile, Cain and Moira Dingle are driving Jacob Gallagher and Sarah Sudden to the airport when they are blinded by the headlights of Mack's car, causing Cain to brake abruptly.
Over in Weatherfield, Carla Connor and Kit Green are in pursuit of Becky. Kit's mission soon also involves chasing the killer, John. As traffic grinds to a halt behind the crash site, a sinister scene unfolds: a small van pulls up, its driver glancing at a terrified, tied-up woman in the back. Also caught in the mayhem are wedding guests from Debbie and Ronnie's celebration, including Billy, David, Shona, Steve, and Tracy, who are travelling in a minibus.
Aftermath: Arrests, Secrets and a Mystery Body
The fallout from the crash is set to be just as dramatic as the event itself. The injured are rushed to hospital, but for many, life will never be the same again. A major police investigation is launched, resulting in one resident finding themselves under arrest and facing serious charges.
In a chilling revelation, a lifeless body is left lying in a van at a depot. It is hinted this discovery may occur before the Corriedale event itself, adding another layer of mystery. Furthermore, as secrets begin to unravel, a crucial confession is shared. Just when someone believes they are in the clear, they are being watched and filmed, proving that all is not what it seems.
Families are thrown into conflict, surprises from the past resurface, and shockwaves ripple through both communities. One couple faces a literal life-or-death situation in the aftermath.
The unmissable crossover begins on January 6, 2026. Emmerdale will air weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays. Coronation Street follows at 8:30pm on the same channels.
