As the days grew shorter and the holiday spirit began to spread, it was clear that Christmas was just around the corner. And for the beloved characters of Coronation Street, it seemed that the festive season had already arrived. With Strictly Come Dancing back on TV and mince pies already on sale in the supermarkets, the countdown to Christmas had officially begun. But for the residents of Weatherfield, Christmas came a little earlier this year, as the cast and crew of Coronation Street were already busy filming holiday scenes.
Thanks to leaked pictures from the ITV soap's set in Salford, fans got a sneak peek at the famous street adorned with twinkling lights and colorful decorations. One of the guides, Shaun, shared these images on social media, revealing the cobbled street lined with festive festoon lights and lampposts draped with snowflake decorations. The corner shop even had a Christmas tree hanging above its door, adding to the holiday cheer. And over at the Weatherfield police station, tinsel could be seen adorning a sign.
But while the street may look merry and bright, there are some dark storylines brewing for the beloved characters. One of the biggest plotlines involves the downfall of evil Joel Deering, who is finally facing justice for his crimes thanks to DS Lisa Swain's hard work in gathering evidence. It remains to be seen whether Joel will be leaving in a prison van or meet a more sinister fate.
On a happier note, another major exit is looming for Corrie fans, as actress Helen Worth bids farewell to the show after an incredible 50 years on screen. While details of her departure are still under wraps, we do know that Gail Platt will find love with Jesse Chadwick before she leaves. The actor, John, has returned to the soap to reprise his role as the children's entertainer, after a storyline involving Gail's ex-husband Martin Platt was scrapped due to the sudden departure of actor Sean.
But the drama doesn't stop there, as eagle-eyed fans have spotted a for sale sign outside of No. 8, hinting at another big change for the residents of Weatherfield. Will Gail sell her home and start a new life with Jesse? Only time will tell.
Of course, Coronation Street is not the only soap gearing up for a blockbuster Christmas. Last week, EastEnders fans got a glimpse of Walford dressed up for the festive season. But for those loyal to Corrie, make sure to tune in on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 8 pm on ITV1 and ITVX to catch all the holiday drama.
