Coronation Street favourite Jane Danson has hinted at an exciting Emmerdale crossover.
Set to grace our screens on Lorraine Kelly's special Christmas show, Jane will be grilled about potential soap super-drama as she teased a crossover for both Emmerdale and Coronation Street. The much-anticipated festive period leads to electric storylines across both shows, as Emmerdale's Piper and Belle face an emotional reunion, while trouble brews for Marlon and April.
Meanwhile, compelling scenes unfold at Home Farm with Kim Tate's mysterious disappearance igniting further drama, and Will's vindictive plot against her thickens.
Over on Coronation Street, Toyah's world is rocked as she's arrested, and at the Rovers Return, Gail and Jesse leave fans on edge with their bittersweet goodbye party amidst brewing tensions. Amidst these pivotal moments, could Gail's long-desired happily ever after finally materialise?
Lorraine asks Jane: "Has anybody ever thought of doing this, obviously there are these worlds, there's Coronation Street and there's Emmerdale, would you not love to do a merger? Do you not think it would be really good?"

Jane hinted at a thrilling twist, suggesting a steamy crossover as she shared with the ITV anchor: "I've always said, soap and television are changing so who knows what would happen, but I've always quite liked the idea of Cain Dingle coming over to have a pint in the Rovers and Leanne could have a little date with him, she needs a bad boy I think."
In the world of soaps, boundaries blur, and crossovers aren't unprecedented.
This very year, an Easter egg appeared in a scene with Rhona: a bystander in the background was absorbed in Chit Chat magazine, typically seen in Coronation Street's universe.
In a groundbreaking 2021 initiative for climate change awareness, not one or two but seven soaps, with stalwarts like Coronation Street and Emmerdale among them, united on-screen a collaboration that hitherto remains unparalleled. They made history once more when EastEnders and Coronation Street teamed up for a Children In Need special back in 2010, drumming up support for the cause.
