Production on the one-off episode, which will see the network's beloved soaps come together for the first time, began at the end of September.

The standalone episode, set to be dubbed 'Corriedale', will see the residents of Weatherfield join forces with their Yorkshire neighbours in an action-packed hour of drama.

Corriedale will air on ITV, STV, ITVX and YouTube in early 2026, and will herald the start of the new soap power hour schedule, with each show screening 30 minute episodes every weekday, Emmerdale at 8pm, followed by Coronation Street at 8.30pm.

While filming is underway, details of the stunt and which characters are involved are being kept under wraps for the time being.

But, Corrie producer Kate Brooks has offered a little bit more about what fans of both long-running shows have to look forward to in the New Year.

Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Kate, while trying not to give any spoilers away, said: "Filming's been brilliant and we've got a brilliant director and scripts.

"The actors are loving it because it's so different and unique from what they've ever done before. The mood and camaraderie is really infectious."

She went on to admit: "I can't help but imagine what my mum is going to be like watching this episode. She'll be so beside herself because as a soap fan, the idea of sitting down with your two favourite shows with all your favourite characters in this massive, unmissable piece of tele, it's amazing."

Kate also shared how it hasn't been an easy plan to pull off. "Everyone's worked so hard on this behind the scenes," she said. "The cast have been amazing, but behind the scenes, it's been quite a feat logistically to get everything in the right place.

"It's a testament to how hard and how passionate all people are. Everyone's put their hearts and souls into it."
