As the New Year approaches, the drama on Coronation Street's cobbles shows no sign of slowing down. Metro Soaps has delivered an early gift for fans: five exclusive spoiler videos detailing the explosive events set to unfold in the final week of 2025 and the first days of 2026. From kidnapping and revenge to a wedding and a terrifying proposal, here's your guide to the upcoming action on the ITV soap.
A Week of High-Stakes Drama on the Cobbles
The week kicks off on Monday, December 29, with Carla Connor (Alison King) still trapped in a nightmarish situation. Held captive by Becky Swain (Amy Cudden) in an airing cupboard, Carla is bound, gagged, and critically deprived of her medication. As Becky's mental state deteriorates, Carla's desperation to escape and return to her love, Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers), reaches a fever pitch. The tension begs the question: can Carla survive this ordeal?
On Tuesday, December 30, the fallout from Abi Webster's (Sally Carman) devastating discovery about husband Carl (Jonathan Howard) continues. While Abi reels from the betrayal, Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) decides her friend's reaction is too tame. Ever the advocate for vengeance, Tracy urges Abi to unleash her full fury upon the cheating Carl. Will Abi follow this incendiary advice, or will Carl manage to evade serious consequences?
Shocking Proposals and Emotional Rollercoasters
Wednesday, December 31 delivers a New Year's Eve moment that is far from celebratory. In a disturbing twist, Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) proposes to his abusive partner, Theo Silverton (James Cartwright). Theo's campaign of manipulation and control has left Todd isolated, making this potential engagement a terrifying prospect that could trap him further. Viewers will be left wondering if Todd can find the strength to withdraw his offer and break free.
The emotional turmoil continues on Thursday, January 1, with Lisa Swain struggling to face the New Year without Carla. This spoiler video promises a narrative rollercoaster, featuring Roy Cropper (David Neilson) championing the 'Swarla' relationship, a heartfelt confession of love from Lisa, and a painful decision that could change everything. It's an intense start to the year for one of Weatherfield's most poignant couples.
A Wedding Before the Storm
Amidst the chaos, Friday, January 2 offers a moment of spectacle as Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) and Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) finally tie the knot. True to form, Debbie ensures all eyes are on her, planning to walk down the aisle while singing lead vocals with a dementia choir providing backup. This lavish wedding provides a brief respite, serving as the final glimpse of normalcy before the highly anticipated 'Corriedale' crossover event with Emmerdale hits screens, promising to change lives in Weatherfield forever.
With these five spoiler videos, Coronation Street sets the stage for a week of unforgettable television. From life-and-death struggles to matters of the heart, the groundwork is being laid for the explosive stories to come in 2026.
