ITV has officially confirmed the historic crossover titled Corriedale, where the worlds of Coronation Street and Emmerdale collide in a massive tragedy.

This special episode, over an hour long and airing on ITVX, opens with a catastrophe that leaves at least two characters dead and numerous injured.

It all begins with Carl Webster – drunk and driving recklessly after Debbie and Ronnie’s wedding.

On the way, Carl’s car crashes into the border between Hotten and Weatherfield, just as Becky Swain is driving Lisa and Betsy away.

At the same time, the minibus carrying the Weatherfield group – Billy, David, Shona, Steve, Tracy, and several others – is also traveling in that direction. The result: a horrific chain collision.

Within seconds, flames erupt. The minibus explodes, Becky loses control, and from Emmerdale, Cain Dingle and Moira are also caught in the tragedy. The characters frantically run through the rainy night, police sirens blare, and blood, smoke, and tears fill the screen.

The producers revealed that the accident was just the beginning of a series of psychological consequences, legal investigations, and long-buried secrets. Corriedale is not just a shock in terms of cinematography or acting, but a milestone that ushers in a new era for the two series – where drama, love, and guilt intertwine to form a giant tapestry of the “soap universe.”
