Fans won’t be happy with the significant modification that Coronation Street’s boss, Kate Brook, has acknowledged will be made to the show’s Christmas Day episode.
In preparation for its Christmas Day episode, Coronation Street is making some changes.
This year marks 64 years of festive drama on the ITV soap opera, which has become a holiday mainstay. From heartbreaking cancer announcements and jaw-dropping fatalities to mind-blowing stunts and stunning comebacks, audiences have witnessed it all.
Weatherfield rarely has a quiet Christmas, and the show’s new boss, Kate Brook, gives the impression that things will be just as chaotic as usual. Kate revealed in an interview with Plymouth Live that the celebrations are expected to be “very fun” and “really lively,” but she also gave a shocking warning that “lots of bombshells are dropped.”
The possible marriage of Helen Worth’s character Gail Platt and John Thomson’s character Jesse Chadwick is a topic of discussion. But according to Plymouth Live, Kate said, “Whether she goes through with that or not, I cannot tell anything.”
Helen Worth, who plays Gail, said earlier this year that she was leaving the serial opera after an incredible 50 years, and her last scenes will be shown on TV around Christmas. However, a Corrie Christmas would not be complete without some drama. More teasing came from Kate, who said, “There are lots of betrayals and lots of secrets are exposed.”
However, there will be a significant change that could leave fans in shock. With both Coronation Street and Emmerdale releasing their new episodes on ITVX at 7 a.m. every day, much ahead of the customary evening showing on ITV1, this year offered soap fans a new pleasure.
However, keen beavers will be left wondering if they want to see the festive episode of Corrie at 7am on Christmas Day. Due to a change in schedule, the soap opera won’t air until its usual evening time slot.
Kate Oates revealed that audiences should expect “it will feel very kind of classic Corrie with a bit of a twist” as she delves deeper into the specifics of the Coronation Street special. She continued, saying: “At the moment, we all need a little escape. And the past few months on the cobbles have been both beautiful and dark. For us, Christmas is all about attempting to understand the Platts’ family dynamics and what drives them.
