Corrie foreshadowed it, the press teased it, and flash-forwards revealed possible victims, but finally, the big week is here, and we get to learn – who has come a cropper?
This innovative and drama packed week of episodes takes the viewer back to the day of Carla and Lisa’s wedding. The first four episodes start at the point that the two brides arrive at Underworld for the reception, with each different visit to the cobbles following the possible final day in the life of the one of the potential murder victims.
Friday’s episode brings all the action together, ending in fireworks lighting up the sky to celebrate Swarla’s union and Betsy’s horrifying discovery of the body of one of Weatherfield’s residents. But who has breathed their last, and who has blood on their hands?
Over in Emmerdale, things are no less deadly as Moira has her hands on a shooter and its pointing straight at Joe Tate. We all know just what Moira is capable of when push comes to shove and with everything that has gone on recently is she finally going to snap?
Moira pushes for the truth and Robert confesses he planted the IDs that led to her imprisonment. He explains how Joe Tate blackmailed him with a video of Victoria killing John. Moira is devastated by his revelation and issues him an ultimatum: he must go to the police, or she will. Before long Aaron is shocked Robert has confessed and rushes to find her and beg for her silence.
With the aim of keeping Cain calm ahead of his upcoming operation, Moira decides to keep the truth from him. Later, when Aaron reminds Moira that Robert is not the only one to blame, soon furious Moira heads to confront Joe with a shotgun at Home Farm.

Also this week, Eve is upset by gossip about Paddy’s arrest, Sarah and Jacob are overwhelmed with becoming Leyla’s official parents and Liam informs Moira and Chas that Cain plans to cancel his cancer surgery.
