a violent bloody showdown between callum and david is rumoured for the live episode, is callum being killed off
A gun drama I believe ....
It would make sense if Callum was killed off. He first appeared around that time last year and we know his contract was extended so perhaps to a year was a logical extension. Karma if he was killed by his own gun. Something will have to happen to make Max see David as his dad again (doubt they will want Callum/the you're not my real dad card hanging over a popular couple indefinitely and death removes it as far as possible.)
David needs to re-discover his inner demon to get rid of Callum once and for all! :DQuote:

The live instalment, which marks ITV’s 60th anniversary, will be full of drama, comedy and tears, according to Corrie producer Stuart Blackburn.
“At the heart of all this is going to be the Platts and their ongoing feud between the good guys – and whoever thought David Platt would be one of the good guys? – and Callum,” Stuart told the Radio Times.
“It’s going to be full of shocks and twists and really will make everything that has come before look like a prologue.”
David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) and his half-sister Sarah-Louise Platt (Tina O’Brien) are caught up in a war with violent, manipulative Callum, but Sarah looks likely to run into trouble when she takes on her ex-boyfriend.
“Decisions are going to be made that start with Sarah stupidly thinking she can get one over on Callum. From that point on, all decisions will have ripple effects for years to come. And that’s not just hyperbole. It will happen.”
Promising a “back to basics” approach and explaining that he wanted to capture the essence of Corrie, Stuart admitted the hour-long live episode would be “a huge challenge”.
He also revealed that Roy Cropper (David Neilson) and Cathy Matthews’ (Melanie Hill) tentative pairing will be “put under huge threat” – adding that it had been hard to develop things romantically for Roy after the death of his wife Hayley.
“It’s been a tough one for us to do because the memory of Hayley is still so fresh.
And yes, we want Roy to be happy. But do we want him to be happy now with somebody other than Hayley? Well, I think the answer is yes. Whether it happens or not is up for grabs.”
And it seems that the live episode will see big secrets revealed, as Sally Webster (Sally Dynevor) looks likely to be found out by her fiance Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) after recently sharing a clandestine kiss with former husband Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell).
Stuart teased: “The secret will come out. The live episode is the week before Sally and Tim’s wedding. And when did a soap wedding ever go to plan?”
Coronation Street will air the live episode on Wednesday, September 23.
The live episode sounds like it could be very good, but unfortunately Corrie have been mostly failing to deliver on promising storylines recently. Let's hope this is the exception.
SB said the Roy and Cathy friendship would be a platonic one! I don't mind though, as long as it develops at a snail's pace. Anything else would be totally out of character for Roy.
Coronation Street's Bill Roache: 'I'm in the live episode but I won't enjoy it'
Bill Roache has confirmed that he will appear in Coronation Street's upcoming live episode, although he admits he may not enjoy it.
Speaking to The Mirror, the Ken Barlow actor said that he feels as if viewers are "waiting for something bad to happen" while watching a live broadcast.
"I am in it," Roache said. "I've been in all three. I don't enjoy it. It's a bit too much. You feel as if the viewers are all sadists waiting for something bad to happen.
"It is stimulating, though. It's a challenge. When we first started in 1960, we used to do the first episode live and record the second one. That happened for the first few months."
Roache, who has played Ken since Coronation Street's first episode in 1960, also said that he has no plans to retire any time soon.
He said: "It's great that Corrie still want me. I've got some good stories coming up which I'm excited about.
"People always ask when I'm going to retire, and I say not any time soon. If you want to keep young, you have to keep going."
Roache continued: "The fact I have to learn so many lines is good for me. I love the Street and everybody in it.
"I'm very fortunate to have been in it so long. I still film from 7am to 8pm just like I did when I first started."
Coronation Street's live episode will take place on Wednesday, September 23, and will heavily feature the Platt family and Callum Logan.

Callum Vs. The Platts
Good video. I deeply suspect Callum will be killed off by one of the Platts during the live episode.

Another spoiler video
There's been strangely little hype about the live episode so far.
Perhaps they are still knitting it.!Quote:

Make a note in your diaries, as Coronation Street has officially confirmed the transmission details for its upcoming live episode.
The hour-long broadcast has been scheduled in for Wednesday, September 23 in a 7.30pm timeslot - going head-to-head with hit BBC One show The Great British Bake Off for 30 minutes.
Coronation Street is broadcasting the live episode to help celebrate 60 years of ITV.
48 cast members are taking part in the episode and rehearsals have begun today (September 9) on the show's set at Media City. The first official read-through of the script took place yesterday.
Cast and crew will have two full weeks of rehearsals before going live to the nation in a fortnight's time.
The live episode will focus on the Platt family's desperate attempts to deal with bad boy Callum Logan, who pushes them to breaking point with a twisted plan to extort £20,000 from them.
Lloyd Mullaney and Andrea Beckett will be waving goodbye in the episode following a leaving party in The Rovers, while Roy Cropper has a gathering of his own as he celebrates turning 60 at the café and continues to grow closer to Cathy Matthews.
There'll also be a big shock in store for Tim Metcalfe when he finds out about his fiancée Sally Webster's secret kiss with her ex Kevin.
After the live episode, ITV2 will air a special backstage aftershow hosted by Stephen Mulhern, featuring interviews with the cast as they come off air. This will transmit at 10pm.
I want to know where's all the hype for the live episode? I'm puzzled about why ITV don't seem to be publicising it anywhere near as much as other live soap episodes.
callum murder, he isn't a big successful legendary corrie villain like richard, tony or jez so will anyone care
how come emmerdale isn't getting a live episode for itv celebration

whereas ED started later and wasnt national
for some years after starting
* BBC had one called " the Groves" but
doesnt sound successful??

The Grove Family was very successful when it first started in 1954. However, ITV started the following year and their first soap, Emergency Ward 10, showed the BBC how to do it! In fact, I would say that Emergency Ward 10 was ITV's first major national TV soap. It was hugely popular and made household names of its stars such as Charles Tingwell and Desmond Carrington. It ran for 10 years.
I can remember watching both The Grove Family and Emergency Ward 10, but I guess my soap addict days really started with EM10.
Unfortunately, I haven't watched Coronation Street as religiously as I have Eastenders, so I've missed some of Corrie's all-time great villains like Richard Hillman and Jez Quigley. I've been watching faithfully for the last decade or so, and during that time Tony Gordon has been my personal favourite baddie.Quote:

corrie live spoilers don't really sound very appealing
We will find out what is happening with Callum, that is appealing enough to me :DQuote:

Ohh I am looking forward to see Tim´s reaction to the kiss reveal .... :D

maybe itv and corrie know it wont live up to any hype so no massive buzz for itQuote:
