Coronation Street episode guide for Christmas and New Year

Monday 23rd December – Hour-long episode at 8pm

In a turn of events, Nick Tilsley, played by Ben Price, comes back from Tenerife. At the Bistro, Leanne guides him into the office and confides in him about a predicament concerning the financial records. As Nick delves into the matter, he notices transactions to TLH Holdings and promptly contacts the bank to halt their account.

Upon arriving at work, Toyah Habeeb (Georgia Taylor) is eager to see Nick, but shortly after, DC Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) takes her into custody for charges of theft and fraudulent misuse of trust! Toyah asserts her innocence to Nick, suggesting that she believes Leanne has framed her.

As a devoted cinephile, I find myself eagerly following the storyline of our favorite characters. Just recently, Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) reached out to Alya Nazir (Sair Khan), expressing her curiosity about Lauren’s upcoming plea hearing. Meanwhile, Alya, a pregnant solicitor, took the time to consult with a genetic counselor. The purpose of this consultation was to discuss the tests that would determine if her unborn child could potentially serve as a suitable donor for Frankie, who is currently unwell.

Lauren is advised that if she opts for ‘not guilty’, her trial will ensue, potentially unearthing an unflattering part of her history. However, Max Turner (Paddy Bever) informs Lauren that by admitting guilt to a lesser charge, Frankie may misunderstand that his mother was the one who killed his father, when in reality, it’s more complex than that.

Lisa discovers a photo of Mason from Sydney Martin’s room on social media and questions her about it. Simultaneously, when Lisa phones the factory, Carla reveals their relationship.

When Betsy sarcastically speaks, Lisa feels embarrassed, yet Carla proposes a family dinner as a chance for renewal. So, we wonder how Lisa will respond when she sees Betsy accompanied by Mason.

Jesse informs David that he’s cleaned the remaining stolen money, but when Gail inquires about their activities, Jesse becomes anxious and claims he told David he was arranging a honeymoon trip to the Maldives instead. Audrey Roberts (played by Sue Nicholls) can no longer hold her tongue, warning Gail that if she marries Jesse, she might never see her again.

Kit and Daisy settle for their meal at Speed Daal, and it’s evident that they share a special connection; however, the ambiance is disrupted when Daniel and Bethany Platt (played by Lucy Fallon) sit down at a neighboring table. What will the rest of this evening hold?

Christmas Eve, Tuesday 24th December – 30-minute episode at 8:45pm

During the Platts’ goodbye gathering at The Rovers, emotions ran heated among the Platt family members. In a final, desperate attempt to keep Gail from departing, Audrey unveiled a secret: Jesse and David had been engaging in some questionable activities!

Later, after feeling distraught and worn-out, Gail finds herself intermittently dozing off on the couch. Suddenly, there’s an unexpected guest at the door – who could it be?

Debbie Webster (played by Sue Devaney) makes an attempt to get Shona Platt (portrayed by Julia Goulding) excited about her New Year’s Eve party, yet she gets hurt when Shona seems uninterested in the invitation.

It appears that Debbie’s comment about Shona feeling comfortable at the hotel last night has sparked David’s curiosity, as he overheard their conversation. Has his initial suspicion been validated?

Peeking into Nick’s briefcase, Leanne discovers a Christmas gift meant for Toyah, causing her anger. Later at the police station, she exhibits a stack of gifts from Nick to Toyah, giving Craig Tinker the impression that they are involved in some sort of secret collaboration.

Christmas Day, Wednesday 25th December – Hour-long episode at 7pm

Today marks the wedding day for both Gail and Jesse. However, instead of embarking on their new life together as a married couple, will Gail choose to depart from Weatherfield, or say goodbye to her turbulent family on her own terms?

As David unwraps presents, he begins to suspect Shona because she hasn’t opened the aftershave he found in her bag. Later, Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) arrives with an aroma of aftershave and reveals it was a Christmas gift. When David extends an invitation for a birthday drink to Adam, David discreetly sips water as Adam guzzles whiskey instead.

Shona and Sarah Platt (played by Tina O’Brien) show up only to overhear David accusing Adam of having an affair with Shona without informing him first. This leads to a heated argument, culminating in Adam falling down the stairs!

At the Bistro, Toyah collaborates with Nick on preparations for Gail’s wedding, informing him that Leanne has temporarily lifted her ban for this special event. When the guests start pouring in, the police unexpectedly appear and request to interrogate Nick and Toyah regarding allegations of fraudulent activities.

In a different setting, Kit displays the TLH Holdings account to Nick who adamantly claims he’s never laid eyes on it before. Meanwhile, at the train station, a dispute between Leanne and Toyah intensifies into a physical altercation, which is captured on camera by Max.

I’m thrilled to behold Bethany, all elegantly adorned and radiating the familiar charm that I admire so much. However, when she bestowed upon me a valuable vintage timepiece, my reaction seemed lackluster, causing Bethany to feel distressed and believe I no longer desire her company.

Daniel reassures her that it’s not what it seems and then goes down on one knee to propose marriage to her. So, what will Bethany say in response?

Friday 27th December – Hour-long episode at 8pm

As I delve into unraveling the situation, I’m being guided by the counsel of Adam and Alya, who suggest I gather evidence to establish Leanne’s involvement in the setup against me and Toyah. Meanwhile, Toyah reassures Leanne that our actions were never intended to cause her harm.

As a discerning movie-goer, I found myself questioning the actions of Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) during a recent film viewing. She alleges that Nick was sending flirtatious text messages while he was vacationing in Tenerife. Intrigued by these claims, Nick decides to scrutinize the CCTV footage for himself. Upon close examination, he notices an intriguing detail: Leanne appears to be carrying two mobile phones.

Max shares with Lily (Brooke Malonie) details of the argument between Leanne and Toyah. In response, Lily expresses her opinion that it was actually Uncle Nick who should have been punched, since he was the one who was unfaithful!

David returns home, where Max and Lily demand answers and Shona explains that David prevented her from seeing her son Clayton Hibbs (Callum Harrison).

David plans to trick Kit into admitting he framed Nathan Curtis (Chris Harper), but Kit recognizes David’s scheme and instead chooses to pursue justice himself.

Leanne returns to her apartment, while Nick and Toyah observe from afar. Upon learning from Dee-Dee that Leanne might receive a prison sentence, Toyah urges Nick to withdraw the charges against her.

In a simpler manner, we could say: On the phone from jail, Lauren confesses her fear regarding the upcoming trial. However, Max struggles to conceal the fact that the case will involve some of the most formidable lawyers.

As a passionate cinephile, I find myself in a unique situation, much like Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) in the Coronation Street narrative.

Roy becomes worried when he notices Carla acting strangely, hearing things and looking confused, so he recommends she goes home to get some rest. However, his concern for her deepens as he enters her apartment and finds her unconscious on the floor. Later at the hospital, a doctor shares his suspicion that Carla might be suffering from sepsis.

Lisa doesn’t realize what’s happening between Carla because she’s busy pursuing Matty after his release, confronting him at the station about where he was on the night Becky was murdered. Kit advises Lisa to stay away, so she goes home with bouquets and wine, but discovers no trace of Carla.

Sarah becomes worried when she observes Daniel talking to Daisy, and when Daisy starts crying, Sarah approaches her in the background and enquires about her wellbeing.

1st Place: Cassie is donning Steve’s bathrobe unexpectedly, catching both Steve and Tracy off guard.

Lisa shares with Mason some pictures of the location where Becky was fatally hit, suggesting that his siblings were operating the vehicle involved in the incident. This revelation leaves Mason visibly startled, prompting him to ask Dylan to maintain vigil while he investigates Matty and Logan’s apartment. Later, Mason and Dylan head to the police station and present Lisa with an old WWII helmet they discovered in their siblings’ residence. Is this artifact potentially useful for Lisa’s investigation?
