Goodwill to all men is usually pretty lacking when the soaps offer up their Christmas storylines but Coronation Street are at least set to bring some joy to viewers this festive season, with show boss Iain MacLeod keen to steer away from too much vitriol while fans are munching their turkey sandwiches.

However, its not set to last – as the new year then explodes with tales of death and destruction, kicking off 2019 with a literal bang. Corrie clearly have a mix of the feel good and the tragedy this year.

Heres what we know so far about the big episodes:

Happy Christmas!

Speaking about what he wants viewers to see this year, Iain shared: Well, the seeds of the stories for Christmas are planted in the big episodes in October, without giving too much away. I wanted it to be a Christmassy Christmas, obviously theres a history in soap of trying to go and do the Angie and Den Christmas where its all acrimony and divorce papers and vitriol.

Thats not really my preference, when you sit down as you try and digest your stuffing balls and sprouts, you need it to be warm and light-hearted in places and you need it to reek of Christmas. So, itll be a Christmassy Christmas, itll have some big, heartbreaking stories within that, itll have a big shock at the end and hopefully itll be a surprising pay off to those stories that youve just seen the inception of here.

Well, maybe not for Jenny…

Jenny is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered marriage after discovering that Johnny cheated on her but recent snaps from behind the scenes shared by Corrie showed Jenny in a heap on the floor, surrounded by concerned friends. Has she fallen ill – and could her life be hanging in the balance this Yuletide?

…or Sally

At the moment, Sally is languishing in prison accused of a crime she didnt commit but with her trial dated for towards the end of the year, viewers are hoping for a Christmas miracle. Of course, Duncan is a wily schemer, so will he see to it that Sally dines on prison sprouts this year?

Or will Sally emerge vindicated – only to discover that Gina has been trying to take her life?

Nativity madness

Other sneaky snapshots from the Christmassy world of Corrie showed several of the shows parents including Tyrone, David, Maria and Kevin gathered and ready for the school nativity. With Brian at the helm of the production, will there be disaster afoot?

At any rate, this will provide some much needed comedy scenes and light hearted moments – whether or not the play goes well.
