Before they could even recover from the death of Bear, the residents of Emmerdale were plunged into the biggest nightmare in British soap history – the crossover accident between Coronation Street and Emmerdale, known as the Corriedale.

It all began with Debbie Webster and Ronnie’s wedding, but a series of tragedies turned the ceremony into hell.

When Carl Webster – a drunk driver – tried to flee, he crashed into the main road between Hotton and Weatherfield, where Becky Swain (Corrie) was hiding with Lisa and her daughter Betsy.

The two cars lost control in the heavy rain, triggering a chain reaction of collisions.

Among those caught in the chaos were Cain and Moira Dingle, Mackenzie Boyd, Charity Dingle, and even Sarah and Jacob.

The horrific scene was filmed in slow motion: smoke, fire, screams, interspersed with footage of a truck opening its back door to reveal a woman tied up in the back – believed to be Carla Connor or an unidentified Emmerdale character. ITV described the episode as “a night of intertwined fate and tragedy.”

At least two characters died at the scene, but their identities have not been revealed. Based on the teaser, viewers speculated that one of them could be Billy or Shona, while Emmerdale fans feared Moira or Mackenzie might not survive. The Emmerdale Confessions fan page recorded over 20,000 comments in just 6 hours after the trailer was released – all saying the same thing: “This will be a moment no one will ever forget.”
