Samia Smith has admitted that she was terrified about taking part in Coronation Street's last live episode ten years ago.
The actress - who plays Maria Connor on the ITV1 drama - told Inside Soap that she cracked under the pressure of the special 40th anniversary broadcast, but was supported by co-star Alan Halsall (Tyrone Dobbs) on the night.
Since Monday, the show's cast have been rehearsing for the next live transmission, which takes place on Thursday, December 9 as part of the programme's 50th birthday celebrations.
Discussing the challenge, Smith explained: "I'd only been in the Street for eight months when we did the live episode for the 40th anniversary, so it was really scary! But now I'm really excited about the one which is coming up.
"I have to remember not to collapse in a heap just before transmission, which is what I did last time. Poor Alan Halsall had to drag me up off the floor while the theme music was playing!"
Meanwhile, discussing the reason for the show's longevity, she said: "There's always something to laugh at in Corrie and that's probably why it's so successful. The secret is the light and shade - mixing comedy with drama. The show always seems to have got that balance right."
I think Molly is a definate to die. John kills someone, so thats two. I think Ashley might die, then Claire leaves with the kids. And perhaps Gary dies? I don't know.
I think we will see more of Gary coping with his experience in Afghanistan, so I don't think he will die.

Does anyone else think the explosion could be caused by the work that Liz's new fella Owen and Chris were doing in The Joinery both are dodgy I think
I suggested that before but others on here believe a gas explosion is the cause.
