Corriedale to see Emmerdale and Coronation Street stars interact for first time

To kick off the New Year, an hour long soap crossover will air on ITV which will also introduce a new soap schedule – ‘soap power hour.’

The exact storyline being focused on in Corriedale is yet to be confirmed. But, fans will most likely be aware that a huge stunt is set to take place during the episode, promising ‘explosive scenes and nail-biting drama.’

The first two actors to be confirmed for the episode are Danny Miller and Vicky Myers who have been working on night shoots.

In Weatherfield, DS Lisa Swain’s world was rocked this year when her ‘late’ wife Becky turned out to be very much alive.

With Corriedale on the horizon, viewers will realise that there’s a very dark side to Becky Swain.

And, in Emmerdale, Aaron’s said goodbye to killer John Sugden and has moved on with his half-brother Robert instead.

But, Robert’s got a secret husband in Kev… Things are about to get even more complicated if they weren’t before.

But, what will lead the two characters to meet? And, who else will join them in Corriedale?

Vicky Myers shares delight over Corriedale casting

The Corriedale stars have now taken time to share their reaction to being involved in the project.

Coronation Street’s Vicky Myers said: “To be involved in this unique, bold, innovative, not to mention history-making episode, in Coronation Street’s 65th year, (well, when we are filming it at least), is fantastic. When I read the script and found out how two worlds collide, who is involved and how the characters interact, not to mention the impact the events of the night will have… Wow. It’s going to be unmissable.

“I couldn’t wait to get started actually. This has been in the pipeline for quite some time and the talented team behind the scenes at Coronation Street and Emmerdale, has worked tirelessly to make this happen. They’re incredible. I’m really looking forward to meeting, and working with, people I haven’t met or worked with before, both in front of and behind the camera. It’s incredibly exciting and the camaraderie is great. It’s going to be epic.”

Danny Miller is buzzing to be involved

Danny Miller also shared his delight over being asked to be a part of such a history-making soap event.

He explained: “I am made up that Aaron is in the Corriedale episode. Originally from Manchester, Coronation Street has always been an iconic show in our house just as much as Emmerdale. So to cross them both over is a great idea. The night shoots have been full on with having young kids but a lot of fun and it’s been great working with the Corrie team. I can’t wait to see how the episode plays out with the separate storylines from both Emmerdale and Corrie. It’s going to be epic and every soap fan’s dream.”
