Coronation Street and Emmerdale fans are in for a treat as ITV have announced a special crossover episode between the two popular soaps - with some iconic characters expected to return Coronation Street and Emmerdale enthusiasts are in for a surprise. ITV has announced an exciting development for soap opera fans, with plans to create a special crossover episode of the two popular shows. Speculation about the crossover episode has been rife, with fans of both soaps having mixed reactions. The event could also herald the return of some beloved and iconic characters. ‌ Carla Connor from Corrie and Charity Dingle from Emmerdale are currently the favourites (11/8) to meet face to face, while Carla's potential meeting with Kim Tate (Claire King) is placed at (2/1). Could there be a business deal brewing between Yorkshire and Manchester? ‌ It seems that the Cobbles might witness the return of Loose Women star Denise Welch (13/8) for this crossover event. Denise played Natalie Barnes in Corrie between 1997 and 2000, and made an appearance in Emmerdale as a juror named Heidi late last year. James Leyfield, Entertainment expert at suggests another popular pairing could see Corrie's Kirk Sutherland (Andy Whyment) and Dales legend Sam Dingle (James Hooton) team up, with odds of 6/4 for them to meet, reports the Daily Record. Denise also played Alison Slater in EastEnders back in 2016. She's also well-known for her role as Steph Haydock in the BBC school drama Waterloo Road, a role she is set to reprise this year in a reboot. ITV chiefs have yet to reveal how fans will vote for which two characters, one from each soap, they would like to see interact in the crossover episode. One of the most anticipated pairings between Corrie and Emmerdale is Corrie's Carla Connor, portrayed by Alison King, and Emmerdale's Charity Dingle, played by Emma Atkins. ‌ It would be a delightful nod to soap history if Ken Barlow, played by Bill Roache, were to share a scene with Emmerdale stalwart Eric Pollard, portrayed by Chris Chittell There are odds of 5/2 for the duo to join forces, but it's nearly as probable for Corrie and Emmerdale's villains to share a scene. Gary Windass, played by Mikey North, and Cain Dingle, portrayed by Jeff Hordley, have odds of 3/1 to meet. Steve and Jai have odds of 6/1 to encounter each other in the crossover episode, and a similar scenario could occur between Corrie's Nick Tilsley, played by Ben Price, and Dales matriarch Kim Tate. Claire and Ben had an on-screen romance on the cobbles when their characters Erica Holroyd and Nick got together. The odds are 8/1 that they'll reunite from separate soaps in the special episode. Natalie Anderson's new Corrie character Danielle Silverton has odds of 10/1 to meet up with Emmerdale's Jacob Gallagher, played by Joe Warren-Plant, after Natalie previously played Joe's mother Alicia Gallagher in the Dales.
