A Clash that ‘BL0WS UP’ British TV – When Emmerdale ‘MEETS’ Coronation Street – What Shocking Surprises await viewers in this Historic Crossover?!
Coronation Street and Emmerdale are set to make soap history with a landmark crossover episode.
Fans of the ITV soaps will be over the moon to know that characters from Weatherfield and The Dales will be teaming up for a dramatic stunt that will change their lives forever.
The crossover, which will be a one-off special hour-long episode, is to mark the channel’s new power hour of soap – which starts in January next year.
So Coronation Street and Emmerdale joining forces is set to launch the new ITV1 and STV scheduling pattern.
ITV’s press release explains: ‘The distinctive worlds of Emmerdale and Coronation Street will merge for one night only in a ‘mash-up’ of our two favourite communities.
‘The producers, scriptwriters and production teams have conceived an ingenious way of linking the two universes, but with characters then returning to the soaps they are renowned for inhabiting in Manchester and Yorkshire.

‘The episode will be self-contained, but the consequences of the high-stakes drama will have repercussions for both communities and see them linked forever as familiar faces depart and exciting new characters arrive into both soaps.’
That isn’t the only exciting thing that is due to happen.
It has also been revealed that producers are allowing the audience to pick a character from each soap to have some form of interaction.
Viewers will have to wait until next month to find out extra information about the exciting crossover.
It will be posted on the show’s official Instagram, Facebook and TikTok accounts.
After the epic crossover, the lives of the Weatherfield and Dales residents will resume as normal.
Viewers will expect to see Emmerdale at 8pm, followed by Coronation Street at 8:30pm on ITV1 and STV.
Those who are keen to see the shenanigans before it goes live with the rest of the nation can watch the instalments on ITVX and STV Player from 7am that day.

Emmerdale hit our screens in 1972.
The much-loved soap was created by Kevin Laffan and has had over 10,000 episodes air.
The current executive producer is Iain MacLeod.
While Coronation Street first aired in 1960.
The programme was created by Tony Warren.
And Kate Brooks is producer.
It comes after their rival EastEnders bagged a bittersweet win as Best Soap at the BAFTA TV Awards after ITV rival Emmerdale was forced to withdraw from nominations.
The BBC drama beat Casualty and Coronation Street and scooped the prize at the prestigious ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday.

Executive Producer Chris Clenshaw accepted the award and thanked fans for their support over the last 40 years, while cast members stood proudly beside him on stage.
However, the win comes after ITV competitor Emmerdale withdrew its entry for the award back in March after one of the scriptwriters was found guilty of domestic abuse.
Bosses at the channel pulled out of the nomination after writer Martin Fustes pleaded guilty to ass@ulting his girlfriend.
According to The Sun, ITV felt it was inappropriate to be included after the recent developments, as the soap has recently featured and won acclaim for a storyline about domestic abuse.
A spokesperson for ITV and Emmerdale told MailOnline at the time: ‘ITV and Emmerdale have taken the decision to withdraw from the Soap category from this year’s awards.
‘This is in consideration of recent news involving a member of the scriptwriting team.’
