There's some huge storylines about to hit Coronation Street in the new year, from health twists, to big returns and some unexpected departures. There's some hard-hitting plots on the way involving several characters, with a devastating knife crime plot amongst them. Current storylines escalate with "serious consequences", while new plots form too - as well as the arrival of some new faces.
There are some unannounced returning characters set to cause trouble, amid the confirmed return of Rob Donovan. More than one Weatherfield family face huge scenes ahead too as we move into 2025. Corrie boss Kate Brooks told The Mirror all about what's to come on the ITV soap, with so much to unpack. She teased: "Coming up in 2025, there’s loads of really exciting stuff. There’s loads of shocks coming up. Just when you think a story is going in one direction, we do a complete 360 and it goes in a completely different direction.
"I think bold, innovative storytelling is key. Exciting, thrilling drama that really keeps the audience captivated. Compelling drama, but at the heart of it there needs to be a truth, and I always seek to find the truth in those stories. "I am genuinely, not just as a producer but as a fan, excited about what’s coming up, because all the stories are on fire! It feels like we’ve got all the big plans in place. The Platts are going to feature really heavily. We’ve got the Websters, building that clan and seeing those dynamics.
"The Connors, with Lisa and Carla and Betsy and Ryan. Building that family and building the factory. We’ve got lots coming up that is going to be really exciting. My vision is making sure that we keep people engaged, keep people entertained and keep people guessing!.
