EMMERDALE and Coronation Street have officially begun filming crossover episodes in a historic first for ITV.
ITV has pulled off the ultimate soap shocker with the first-ever Coronation Street and Emmerdale crossover – and it’s been called Corriedale.
Camers are rolling on this one-off extravaganza, bringing together the nation’s favourite telly titans.

Fans are already buzzing about what could go wrong… or right!
The two soaps are going all out, with production teams cooking up a jaw-dropping stunt that promises life-changing consequences for the characters involved.
ITV Executive Producer for Continuing Drama Iain Macleod said: “It’s beyond exciting that filming is underway on Corriedale.
“There is a massive buzz around both the Leeds and Manchester sites and the images coming out of the shoot are utterly spectacular.
“And that’s before we’ve even got to all the brilliant transpennine interactions between characters from the different shows!
“As a soap fan myself, I think my head is going to explode when the episode airs next year.
“It will be mind-blowing, historical and unmissable.”
There will also be an interactive twist for fans to determine one part of the episode.

A vote will be opened allowing soap fans to choose which Emmerdale and Coronation Street character will share a carefully-written scene together as part of the episode.
Corriedale is set to hit screens on ITV and YouTube in early 2026 – kicking off the brand-new soap power hour.
From then on, Emmerdale will roll out at 8pm, followed by Coronation Street at 8.30pm, every weekday in a double dose of drama.
The schedule change sees both soaps lose one episode a week amid dwindling ratings.
