Not only viewers, but even the stars of Gogglebox – the popular British television commentary show – were left speechless by Corriedale.

ITV confirmed that the crossover episode will air simultaneously with a special reaction video from the Gogglebox stars, capturing their moments watching the explosions, blood, and tears in Corrie and Emmerdale.

According to the teaser, Pete and Sophie Sandiford – the witty commentary duo of Gogglebox – broke down in tears when they saw Charity holding the injured Mack, while Jenny and Lee screamed, “Oh my god, Corrie is going all out!”.

The scene of Cain Dingle pulling a body out of a burning car silenced the entire studio, and Gail Platt’s unexpected appearance at the end of the episode made them yell, “No way!”.

The inclusion of Corriedale on Gogglebox wasn’t just for promotion – it was a sign of the event’s immense impact. ITV described it as “one of the most memorable television moments of the decade.”

The British online community exploded. On Twitter, the hashtag #Corriedale trended at number 1 in just 15 minutes. Fans wrote: “I watched Corrie and thought I was watching a Hollywood blockbuster.” And perhaps that was the real goal of Corriedale: to transform soap opera – often considered a “commonplace” genre – into an unprecedented emotional storm.
