What to expect from Corriedale?
The preview for the cross-over, via Radio Times, reads: “A crossover episode between Coronation Street and Emmerdale. Debbie Webster's dramatic wedding to Ronnie leads to a desperate, drink-fuelled Carl speeding away with Debbie in the car.
“Simultaneously, Becky, fleeing her past with Lisa and Betsy, loses control of her vehicle, triggering a multi-car pile-up on a stormy road between Hotten and Weatherfield.”
