This Christmas and New Year’s on the cobbles, attacks and secrets dominate the most wonderful time of the year, with two separate incidents causing chaos.
The highly anticipated Christmas Day dinner showdown will be ‘pretty explosive’ and confirmed it will lead to violence. ‘It’s a big shock…there are two attacks connected to the Driscoll family…, it isn’t exactly how any of them envisaged their first Christmas in the Rovers,’ Catherine Tyldesley said in a newly released interview.
The drama begins as Eva’s secret letter falls into Maggie’s hands. Catherine describes the tension reaching ‘boiling point,’ confirming: ‘Maggie’s just constantly is hurling things at Eva, and hurls something really big at Eva on Christmas Day, and everything just kind of explodes.’
The fallout from the catastrophic Christmas Day leads to a horrifying discovery on Boxing Day when Evelyn is horrified to find one resident slumped in the ginnel having been attacked and left for dead.
That’s not where the drama ends, oh no, we’ve also got Becky’s increasingly deranged efforts to hold onto her family. But as Becky is pushing hard for a fresh start with Lisa, she hasn’t counted on Lisa insisting she will only agree to flee to Spain after seeing the missing Carla.
On New Year’s Day, Becky runs out of options and decides it’s time to speed things up with Corrie teasing ‘horrifying consequences’
In the aftermath that follows, new spoilers tease ‘Becky isolates Betsy and Lisa’ when, for safety reasons, Becky persuades Lisa that they need to ditch their phones, but promises that she’ll be back with new ones before they leave for the ferry.
Will Becky make her escape before secrets are revealed… and what exactly happens in the week that follows? Questions will be answered in the big Corriedale crossover that airs on January 5 on ITV1.
Catch up on ITVX, and for classic visits to Corrie, these episodes air weekdays on ITV3 as well as on YouTube.
