š¬ ACCESS GRANTED: CORRIEDALE UNVEILS UNSEEN SET PHOTOS & DROPS A SURPRISE BONUS EPISODE HINT! šļø
CorriedaleĀ has shared some special behind-the-scenes photos of the cast, ahead of tomorrow nightās crossover. The hugely anticipated episode promises ādrama, secrets, lies, injuries and potential deathsā, as the two soap worlds collide in a celebration of the genre.
While the exact details wonāt be uncovered until it airs,Ā CorriedaleĀ will see fan-favourite characters from Weatherfield and the Dales joining forces amid a devastating crash.
Among those involved areĀ Coronation Streetās Shona and David Platt, Debbie andĀ Carl Webster, Steve McDonald andĀ Todd Grimshaw. Meanwhile,Ā Emmerdaleās Liam Cavanagh, Sarah Sugden, Charity and Aaron Dingle, Joe Tate and Jacob Gallagher are also embroiled in the drama.
The episode was filmed over three weeks in October, including a 12-night shoot on a disused road in Yorkshire. While there will be plenty of on-screen chaos tomorrow night, the cast and crew appear to have got on famously when the cameras stopped rolling.
In a series of behind-the-scenes pictures, the soap stars can be seen enjoying each otherās company in between filming the horrific stunt.
The pictures include Jack P Shepherd and Julia Goulding (David and Shona), grinning alongside Natalie J Robb and Danny Miller (Moira and Aaron Dingle) ā despite their bloodied faces.
Similarly, Gareth Pierce (Todd), Ned Porteous (Joe) andĀ Joe-Warren PlantĀ (Jacob) can be seen sporting huge winter coats, while sharing a hot drink together during a cold night shoot. And itās smiles all around in a picture of Jonathan Howard (Carl) holding hands with his dapper stunt dummy.

āThere was such a fantastic atmosphere on set. It was really special to be able to work with theĀ EmmerdaleĀ cast and crew. It certainly helped with the night shoots to be able to work with new people. We kept the energy levels high with coffee and lots of sugary sweets!ā said Goulding.
Miller added: āThe night shoots were a lot of fun and itās been great working with theĀ CorrieĀ team. I canāt wait to see how the episode plays out with the separate storylines from bothĀ EmmerdaleĀ andĀ Corrie. Itās going to be epic and every soap fanās dream.ā
