Coronation Street to air 1-hour special

‘Coronation Street’ is to air a one-hour special next month.

The ITV soap is scheduled to air between 7.30pm and 8.30pm on September 11th, but it’s not yet known what the main storylines will be in the ep.

‘EastEnders’ will return to air that week – on September 7th – following an enforced break, but the BBC One soap’s Friday September 11th episode will air at 8.30pm, avoiding a cobbles clash.

Last month, the channel confirmed both ‘Corrie’ and ‘Emmerdale’ will return to six episodes per week from mid-September, after reducing output when the coronavirus pandemic first began.

ITV said in a statement: "We’re very pleased to announce that ‘Coronation Street’ and ‘Emmerdale’ will resume airing the normal pattern of six episodes each week from mid-September."

The channel also praised the soaps’ bosses for their "incredible work".

They said: "This is testament to the incredible work that has been achieved in Manchester and Leeds by John Whiston, Managing Director of Continuing Drama and Head of ITV in the North for ITV Studios, and his dedicated and hard-working production teams, crews, writers and actors.

"Both shows continue to film safely whilst adhering to the health and safety guidelines issued by the film and TV industry."

Both soaps suspended filming on March 22nd as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

One of Corrie’s main storylines this year has seen evil Geoff Metcalfe – played by Ian Bartholomew – subject his wife Yasmeen Metcalfe (Shelley King) to months of emotional abuse.

And Ian admitted this week he was "horrified" when he read some of his scripts.

He said: "Some of the stuff I read I was horrified that I have to do it."
