Overview
- The hour-long Corriedale special airs live Monday, January 5 at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX to launch ITV’s new weeknight back‑to‑back schedule.
- Unlike regular episodes, the special will not drop early on ITVX; Emmerdale airs at 7pm and Coronation Street at 7.30pm, with those half-hours available on ITVX from 7am.
- Trailers confirm a catastrophic multi‑vehicle pile‑up on a dark country road near Hotten as characters from both soaps converge.
- A 40‑strong cast has been announced, including Lisa Swain, Betsy Swain, Becky Swain, Carla Connor, David Platt, Tracy Barlow, Aaron Dingle, Charity Dingle and others.
- Producers and cast remain tight‑lipped, with Vicky Myers stressing secrecy, Amy Cudden teasing Becky’s turn toward ‘peak villain,’ and a Bradford premiere and night shoots underscoring the scale of the production.
