View Full Version : Corrie Spoilers 23rd - 27th December
Coronation Street producer Stuart Blackburn has teased this year's big Christmas episode, promising a strong mix of comedy and drama in the festive edition.
The Weatherfield soap will air an hour-long episode on Christmas Day, featuring tears and laughter for a number of the street's residents.
Viewers can expect the Platts to take centre stage as they try to move on from one of their most turbulent years as a family.
The Price, Cropper and McDonald clans will also be featuring in the episode.
Blackburn says: "It's brilliant - Christmas Day is fantastic. It's the funniest and one of the most dramatic episodes. I think we've got the mix right.
"There's been rumours about us killing Hayley on Christmas Day - but that's rubbish! Roy and Hayley are going to have the best Christmas Day ever, but obviously it's also extremely sad because we know it's their last one as a couple.
"Steve, Michelle and Lloyd in the pub is going to be a joy, and then we've got big drama for the Platts and the Prices on Christmas Day as they try to rebuild their families - but it's not going to quite work out as they'd planned."
Once Christmas and New Year are over, scenes airing in early 2014 will see Hayley's cancer storyline reach its tragic conclusion - leaving her husband Roy (David Neilson) devastated.
Julie Hesmondhalgh, who plays Hayley, filmed her final scenes last month.
Asked what fans can expect from Hayley's exit, Blackburn replied: "Tears. We've tried to play it as straight as we can, because this story isn't about entertainment at all. It's real, it's true and it's painful. Hayley's final episode is beautifully shot and has been done with respect, love and affection.
"It made me weep when I watched it. Even though I'd read two or three drafts of scripts beforehand and was there when the scenes were shot, it was still so upsetting to watch.
"Those two actors - Julie and David - have been magnificent. I think both of them could grace any genre and stand out. They've been brilliant, so we owe a lot to both of them."

Not much at all
The Platts' Christmas meal ends in tears when Nick flies into an uncontrollable rage and lashes out at Leanne.
Struggling with the hustle and bustle of the day, Nick snaps and strikes Leanne across the face after she playfully teases him about a Christmas cracker joke.
Ben Price, who plays Nick, said: "It’s too much for him and his frustration just boils over. His anger comes out and Leanne gets the brunt of it.
"All day he looks like he’s fine but he’s not fine. His head’s all over the place, he has a headache and it’s just too much. Leanne says the wrong thing at the wrong time."
He can’t trust himself and he knows Leanne can’t trust him anymore. He’s not the man she fell in love with...
– Ben Price, who plays Nick
As the family is left reeling by his actions, both Leanne and Nick are left questioning their future.
Ben said: "Something dies in their relationship. He has got a head injury and what he’s done is because of that, but they’ve lost that trust. He’s done the worst thing he can imagine."
"I think Leanne is shocked, upset and disappointed and Nick realises at this point that they’re not going to be fine."
Steve lands himself in hot water, Tina and Peter play with fire, and could Sophie find love in the most unlikely of places?
Find out what this Christmas on the cobbles has in store...
