The ITV soap event on Monday 5th January 2025 will mark the start of the new soap hour in the weekday schedules and will feature a cataclysmic event that brings both soaps together and leaves many characters in danger.

We already knew that a selection of characters would be taking part in the drama, including fan favourites Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) and DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers).

However, we now have more individuals confirmed, including the return of the murderous John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), who has been a fugitive since his crimes were exposed in the Autumn.

Will Aaron and soulmate Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) survive whatever John has planned?

John isn't the only soap villain confirmed for the event either, with the scheming Becky Swain (Amy Cudden) and abusive Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) from Corrie, and dangerous Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) and dastardly Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) from Emmerdale also present.

Will the event finally see comeuppance delivered to some of these villains, or does tragedy await them at the hands of others?

In the meantime, who else features in the drama of Corriedale?
