Coronation Street legend’s return ‘sealed’ 36 years after debut for Emmerdale crossover
Coronation Street fans are certain that a legend has confirmed her return – and fans reckon it’s for the Emmerdale crossover episode.
Early next year, for the first time in British soap history, an hour-long episode will see characters from both soaps come together in a celebration of the genre.
The special instalment, to air in January, will have “everlasting consequences for everyone involved”, with the two shows’ universes in Manchester and Yorkshire linked in an “ingenious way”.
Details of the episode are being kept under wraps, but in September, boss Iain MacLeod confirmed that a major character will be killed off as “the soap gods demand a sacrifice when you have an event of this kind”.
He also spoke about soap comebacks and promised a return from “a few familiar faces”. And now, viewers believe they have ‘worked out’ who is returning to the cobbles for the historic episode after spotting a huge ‘clue’.

Recently, Liz McDonald actress Beverley Callard sent her fans into a frenzy after she shared a video on her TikTok. In the clip, she gave fans a rundown of her outfit while at home.
“Been filming this morning. And it’s not very often I wear Lycra anymore, and not so tasteful jewellery but never mind!” Liz declared, while wearing a black skintight top, a low-rise belt and black denim jeans.
Although she didn’t reveal what she had been filming, fans immediately noted that it could be for “Corriedale’, suspecting that she is reprising her role as the iconic barmaid Liz McDonald.
On X, one person declared: “Sorry does this mean what i hope it means!? is ar liz coming back to the cobbles!?” Another added: “Maybe coming back for the big soap crossover?”
A third agreed: “Omg! She’s obviously in the crossover.” Someone else penned: “Wait!!!!! Is this for the cobbles???? Need answers!”
Liz made her debut on the cobbles way back in 1989, with the rest of the McDonald clan, including husband Jim (Charles Lawson) and their twin sons Steve (Simon Gregson) and Andy (Nicholas Cochrane).
And for 30 years, she was a regular and played a part in several big storylines. From saucy flings to blazing feuds, Liz’s time in Weatherfield was not short of drama.However, in 2019, actress Beverly left fans gutted when she confirmed she was leaving the soap. The iconic character then said her goodbyes a year later.
