Coronation Street notches up 60 sensational years on screen with a special week of episodes celebrating the mega-milestone that brings the biggest story of the year to a gripping climax, and sees the entire community under threat.
Starting on Monday 7th December, the granddaddy of all soaps airs three epic hour-long editions (not the normal two split half hours) in the usual Monday, Wednesday and Friday 7.30pm slots.
Will Geoff Metcalfe (Ian Bartholomew) get away with abusing Yasmeen Metcalfe (Shelley King)? Can Carla Connor (Alison King) and Adam Barlow (Samuel Robertson) keep their one-night stand a secret? And can Ken Barlow (William Roache) save his beloved street from the bulldozers?
