First airing in the 1960s, Coronation Street is a staple on UK national television — so much so, in fact, that even EastEnders' Dot Branning was a fan.

Set in the fictional street of the same name in Weatherfield, Salford, the ITV soap has been telling the stories of the cobbles' residents for decades. While some of the characters have been around since the beginning (we're looking at you, Ken Barlow), others have made dramatic exits and unexpected returns in pure soapland fashion.

In 2022, Corrie has finally seen Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine) and Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) — one of its most popular on-again, off-again couples — tie the knot on Christmas Day. Elsewhere, the show has incorporated a storyline about far-right beliefs with the radicalisation of Max Turner (Paddy Bever) by racist Griff Reynolds (Michael Condron), as well as breaking ground with Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) and her three dads.

As the soap has rung in the new year with more incredible developments, can you remember all of the show's past wild twists?
