Remember when Kevin and Sally were discussing Tyrone ringing Terry to let him know about Jack's passing? Well, not a word between them about Sally doing the dirty on Kevin with Terry many moons ago.

Anyone else remember this? She was Sally Seddon, wearing 80's neon colours....very flirty and totally different to how she is now. She had a fling with Terry in some kind of workyard, don't think it was a garage.

Terry and Curly had a yard hired off Rita. It had a small office and the two lads thought it was I dont know what. The yard once belonged to Len i think.

Tyrone has been wearing the same fleece top for years now, you would think they would give him a new one

I was just thinking about the blast, and Eoin last night. The blast is caused by something mysterious in the Joinery. Does anyone else think it will turn out it was due to shoddy cow-boy style workmanship from Eoin? He is seriously dodgy and I'd love to see him carted off due to negligence or some such.

I was thinking the same thing.

This is the dramatic moment that life on Coronation Street changes forever as The Joinery explodes, causing a tram to career off the viaduct and onto the cobbles below.

In earth-shattering scenes to mark the Weatherfield soap's 50th anniversary, the disaster causes destruction, tragedy and uncertainty as some much-loved characters are killed and others find their lives hanging in the balance.



Just before the explosion sparks a terrible series of events, Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) is enjoying his stag night at the bar - unaware that owner Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) plans to reveal he's been having an affair with his fiancée Leanne (Jane Danson).

However, before Nick can confess all, the blast rocks the building and both men are buried beneath the rubble. As their lives hang in the balance, will the truth come out?

Meanwhile, Ken Barlow (Bill Roache) and Leanne are on their way to the bar in a bid to stop Nick from exposing the heartbreaking secret - but they're thrown to the ground on the street due to the ferocious explosion.

Devoted aunty Becky McDonald (Katherine Kelly) is also out on the cobbles as the disaster occurs, desperately searching for her nephew Max, who has gone missing from his bedroom. Becky's friends are still unaware of the fact that she bought Max from her half-sister Kylie - could the shocking events result in her guilty secret being revealed?

Elsewhere, Molly Dobbs (Vicky Binns) is in the Corner Shop with her baby son Jack at the time of the explosion - just moments after telling husband Tyrone (Alan Halsall) that he's not the child's father. Will a fateful night for Coronation Street also see Molly destroy the marriage of her ex-lover Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell)?




Speaking of the 50th anniversary episodes, Coronation Street's producer Phil Collinson commented: "As we celebrate the show reaching such an incredible milestone, it feels fitting that we will be screening a dramatic event of this magnitude which will affect the lives of all the residents of Coronation Street.

"We'll be using all the wonders of modern television production to bring you a disaster that will rock the lives of everyone in Weatherfield. At the heart of the drama, though, will be ordinary people on an ordinary street battling adversity - the template for the programme created by Tony Warren 50 years ago."

Coronation Street's 50th anniversary week begins on Monday, December 6 at 7.30pm.

So, Tina is to become a barmaid? That miserable face would put me of my water, nevermind my beer!

Sorry if this has been posted already, it's the trailer for the tram crash. It looks AMAZING, just like a blockbuster film.

When's the crash episode? Assuming the live episode is following it?

Busi_Girl08

I think it's the 2nd episode on Monday. And then the live episode is on Thursday I think. Iguana posted a schedule of all the Corrie related stuff next week, including the first ever episode!

I hope you're right, he's an awful character, I don't think anyone likes him at all. Perhaps he was only ever written into the street in order to destroy it and we were never meant to like him.

I totally agree, she's a very pretty girl but what a miserable grouchy cow she is. She never smiles, a real bore of a character.

Some of the cast being interviewed on set on Ireland AM now. No difference between Helen Flanagan and Rosie at all:D.

I'm consoled by the knowledge that the management of the Rovers encourages its female bar staff to show their chests. Tina is suitably qualified in this department.

Coronation Street star Steve Huison is to leave the show, it has been revealed.

The actor, who plays Eddie Windass in the ITV1 soap, will leave the cobbles next year after bosses decided to write him out of the drama.

Huison wrote on Twitter: "To be honest, I'll be glad to get on with things. It's all unreal there anyway. No challenge. I'll miss the money and a few good friends."

He then joked: "Do you know what I'm really looking forward to more than anything else? A right bloody good haircut!"

Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday, Coronation Street's producer Phil Collinson commented: "I've loved watching Steve's portrayal of super-slob Eddie and, with Gary [Windass] still very much part of Coronation Street, I'm sure it's not going to be the last we'll see of Eddie."

A show spokesman added: "The storyline is still being worked out but Steve will leave early next year."

Eddie is expected to leave Weatherfield as part of son Gary's post-traumatic stress storyline.

The man is pushing 80! I bet he has a portrait of himself in his attic that does his ageing for him.
