Becky has finally managed to wear Lisa down, who declares she will move to Spain – but she wants to see Carla first to break the news in person. Becky takes drastic action, with horrifying consequences…

Meanwhile, Theo launches his vilest attack yet on Todd, who sees sense and does a runner. But will Theo’s manipulation coerce him back into even greater danger?

And David demands Shona get checked out after she suffers a twinge and struggles to draw breath – are she and the baby okay?

Soap power hour from January 2026
In October 2024, Corrie started streaming daily episodes of the soap from 7am.

This change was actually welcomed by many fans, with stats for the first quarter of 2025 confirming that ITVX achieved a ‘record-breaking’ billion streams in a quarter for the ‘first time ever.’ Coronation Street and Emmerdale have raked up 124 million streams on ITVX so far this year. Soap viewing is up 35 percent in comparison to the first quarter of 2024.

And there will be more changes in the near-future where the soap schedule is concerned over on ITV as the channel prepares to introduce ‘soap power hour’ from January 2026.

Instead of airing just three days a week, Corrie will air every weekday but for only half an hour.

Corrie will air Monday-Friday from 8.30pm-9pm. New episodes will also drop on ITVX every morning at 7am as usual.

The new format will kick off with a special crossover episode – branded Corriedale – in which characters from both Emmerdale and Coronation Street will be involved in a huge stunt with lasting consequences.
