In what’s being called the most ambitious crossover in ITV soap history, Coronation Street and Emmerdale are joining forces for a special event—and it starts with a terrifying bang. The new teaser for Corriedale reveals a catastrophic multi-car crash on a stormy rural road outside Hotten, triggering a deadly chain of events that will shake both villages to their core.

The crash may be the central event, but the fallout promises much more: lies, betrayal, violence, and even murderous intent.

The Trailer: Echoes of Familiar Voices

As headlights slice through the storm and twisted metal lies across the road, we hear the voices of fan favorites: David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd), Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford), Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson), and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller).

But the trailer leaves many questions hanging. Why are Weatherfield residents in Yorkshire? What brought them to that road on that night? And who won’t make it out alive?

With chaos erupting across county lines, the ITV logline warns:
“Life in Emmerdale and Weatherfield will never be the same again.”

One Hour of Explosive Soap History

Set to air in early January 2026, the Corriedale episode will run for a full hour. While an exact date remains under wraps, ITV has confirmed several cast members, including Vicky Myers reprising her role as DS Lisa Swain—a character who could be key to uncovering the truth behind the deadly crash.

Myers, who joined Corrie in 2021, expressed her excitement:
“This script is bold and powerful. When I saw how the worlds collide, who’s involved, and the ripple effect… wow. It’s unmissable.”

New additions to the crossover include Shepherd, Ford, and McPherson, while Coronation Street marks its 65th anniversary with this landmark event.

Secrets, Death, and the Days After

ITV has promised that Corriedale is just the beginning. The fallout will extend into regular episodes of both soaps, reshaping families, exposing long-buried secrets, and leaving grief in its wake.

Who dies? Who’s to blame? And will this crash uncover truths that were meant to stay buried?
