The Corriedale Night – when Emmerdale and Coronation Street merged their storylines – was hailed as “ITV’s scariest television event of the decade.”

On the road connecting Hotten and Weatherfield, a horrific series of car crashes occurred, resulting in the deaths of many characters from both villages.

In the chaos, Becky Swain’s car crashed head-on into a convoy from Emmerdale.

Robert, Aaron, Moira, Debbie, David, and even Bear were all on that road.

Explosions rang out, glass shattered, and smoke filled the screen. For minutes, viewers were plunged into hell: screams, blood, flashing car lights in the darkness.

ITV confirmed that at least two characters would die, but their identities were kept strictly secret. Fans speculated that one of them was Bear, who had just escaped from a slave camp, and the other could be Moira or Aaron. The scenes at Hotten General Hospital were later described as a “collective nightmare”—where the surviving characters confront loss, regret, and guilt.

Corriedale is more than just a crossover; it’s a moral test. Who deserves to live, who deserves to die, and who will be changed forever? With the way ITV is building it, this event could usher in a new era for both series—darker, more intense, and more tearful than any previous year.
