It's all happening in the street!

Todd continues to be abused and manipulated by nasty Theo.

Carla is being kept hostage by evil Undead Becky the Bay City Roller! Lisa (Swain) is pining for Carla who she thinks has gone away on holiday, (but Lisa still did the deed with Undead Becky!) Hmm

Nasty Ma Driscoll has been turfed out of The Rovers Return by her son Ben, after her horrible Christmas day stunt of revealing to everyone that Eva has had an abortion.

Will Driscoll is jealous of Daniel 'dating' his attractive older woman (well, she's around 28, but is still older compared to him as he is still at school! And to make things worse she is his sports coach!)

Costello has been beaten up and is still in hospital.

Tall Kit and Sarah Platt are still an item.

Shona is not far off having hers and David Platt's baby.

DeeDee's left the show after conveniently being offered a high flying lawyer job in Singapore!

Carl, the Chuckle Brother has been getting down and dirty with James Bailey (again!) whilst Abi is totally oblivious. She is also oblivious to the fact that Carl is trying to find a way to move away from her (abroad) even though Abi has left Kevin for him (and took her son too!) Some may say it serves her right! 😬

Evelyn has come back again - hopefully for good this time!

I have probably missed some stuff! But we can catch up later! :)

Was that Emmerdale girl in the woods at the end, standing staring at something, the girl that was with Kitt?
To be fair Kitt really ought to be dead, he’s gone running off into dangerous situations on his own all week like bloody James Bond. He needs to pay more attention in his health and safety classes.

What exactly happened to David? Did he just collapse? Was there a reason?
And yes, did Carl die? Yet another hospital where relatives can watch their relatives get resuss etc!

No, the girl at the end is Victoria from Emmerdale. This could lead to her being written out as she’s pregnant in real life I believe. The other girl that was tied up, I don’t think we know who she is. She was with Graham who is a blast from the past in Emmerdale.

Gingercar · 05/01/2026 21:15

And all that happened half a mile from my house and I never knew!

the80sweregreat · 05/01/2026 21:16

It was cleverly filmed I must say.

SabreIsMyFave · 05/01/2026 21:22

Gingercar · 05/01/2026 21:13

I actually really enjoyed that, despite it being so far fetched. I liked Tim’s sign off line “ah you’d not have heard of it”

Awwww, yeah that was nice. Smile

Did you all notice the nod to Vikram (Chris Bisson?) He was in Corrie a few years ago... (The noughties.) He founded the cab company with Steve McDonald. Chris plays Jai Sharma in Emmerdale, and he and Steve passed each other briefly, and Steve said (to who he was with, I think it may have been Tracy.) 'I thought I saw someone I recognised then....'

I know!

I watched the few previous episodes just so I would have some idea what was going on, surely now I have to watch the aftermath...

the80sweregreat · 05/01/2026 21:37

My parents liked Emmerdale. They thought it was the best soap out of the lot ( and they watched all of them)

suburburban · 05/01/2026 21:44

MaePedwarGolau · 05/01/2026 20:45

Steve recognising Vikram! 🤣

Yes from Devs shop?

MaePedwarGolau · 05/01/2026 21:45

suburburban · 05/01/2026 21:44

Yeah, he was Dev's cousin, I think. Possibly nephew

Nice mention by Steve of 'Vik'.

@rainbowruthie I think Theo just decided to leave Billy there to die. Of course he will play it entirely differently and be the 'hero'.

Not really understanding how the others on the minibus didn’t help Billy or realise he was trapped. That seemed odd to me

yes truly evil Theo

MaePedwarGolau · 05/01/2026 21:49

This on Twitter just made me laugh. There were quite a few...

Happy New Year everyone! We're sailing into 2026!  CORONATION STREET THREAD. **No spoilers please.**

@suburburban Another poster pointed out Theo actually refastened Billy's seat belt so effectively killed him, I hope it doesn't take too long for him to get his just desserts. And I hope Todd stays strong because with Billy gone, there is no one who has the first clue what Theo is up to.

1reason · 05/01/2026 21:51

What in the name of tv hell was that?! Very disappointing mash up after the massive build up to Corriedale.
I only watch Corrie, so tne Emmerdale cast meant nothing to me at all.
Very poor lighting so could hardly see what was happening at the accident scene.
We have known for months that Billy was to die and leave Corrie.
I am actually disappointed tnat noone else has died ( yet)!
Guess I will still watch the new 30 minute Corrie from tomorrow for an update.

Yes I found it quite distressing

timing of the wedding was most odd and I’m surprised more people didn’t stay overnight after disco which seemed to be mid afternoon

Me too. They all just got out and left poor Billy hanging upside down. It was about 10 minutes later that Todd asked where he was. How did the others not notice?

Exactly! Steve, Tracy and cassie surely would have helped.

Yes exactly especially when he was their driver

zanahoria · 05/01/2026 21:56

Billy managed to survive a fall from that cliff, I thought he was indestructible

I got bored in the end
No idea who it was in the woods or who Carla was talking to or what John has done ?
Sad ending for Billy and poor Sumner

I think this will cause Todd so much distress it will enrage Theo who will blurt out what he did in one of his rages.

It was a lovely venue with a free bar and they could watch Ronnie's fabulous dancing but they were all keen on bailing

zanahoria · 05/01/2026 22:01

I am just glad the Becky nonsense is over

I think even the producers were embarrassed by it so used Corriedale as a way of burying it among all the other stuff

don't worry, Jack's drone will have captured it

I still can’t get over how great Carla looked after being tied up for so long. Tousled beach hair and a nice dewy foundation.

Gingercar · 05/01/2026 20:59

I’m quite liking how the big characters from each soap are interacting in the hospital for a bit of light interlude.

Best bit was Ken Barlow and Eric Pollard at the vending machine! And Charity thumping it.

timetogetlost · 05/01/2026 22:09

That made me feel sick.
Glad they didn't kill off all the baddies as they usually do though. Looks like Becky, at least, has to face some consequences. Carl may be dead. Poor Todd and Summer must now live together. Can't believe 3 of her 4 dads are dead. Terrible luck. (To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness).

Housewife2010 · 05/01/2026 22:11

Surely Carla would have been very smelly. How has she managed to go to the toilet the last week or so. How long has she been missing?
It is very handy for her that her brows are microbladed.
