ITV Sets 'Corriedale' Crossover for Monday 8 p.m., Uniting Corrie and Emmerdale in Stunt-Led Special

The one-off episode launches ITV’s new weeknight soap power hour via a viewer vote that inserts an extra scene minutes before broadcast.

Overview

  • Corriedale airs at 8pm Monday on ITV1, will not drop early on ITVX, and a 30‑minute Corriedale Backstage Pass follows at 9pm on ITVX, ITV3 and YouTube.
  • Set after a multi‑vehicle pile‑up on a country road near Hotten, the crossover brings characters from both soaps together with a combined cast list of dozens confirmed.
  • ITV pre‑filmed four cross‑show pairings, with free public voting open until 7:45pm to decide which scene is inserted, a last‑minute switch that producer Iain MacLeod says is anxiety‑inducing.
  • The production was mounted over multi‑week night shoots on a disused road near Harrogate and features large‑scale stunts including explosions and a coach on fire, according to producers.
  • From this week, ITV shifts to a nightly power hour with Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street at 8:30pm, with Monday’s special setting up separate storylines that continue in each show.
