Four characters need to be killed off in Emmerdale and Coronation Street crossover – here’s who
A Groundbreaking ITV Event
ITV is about to make soap history. For the first time ever, Coronation Street and Emmerdale will collide in a monumental crossover event titled “Corriedale.” The special, set to air this January, promises an explosive “soap power hour” filled with drama, tragedy, and at least four shocking deaths.
Executives are calling it a bold move to reinvigorate both long-running series, which have faced cast cuts, budget strains, and dwindling ratings in recent years. But with two villages colliding and multiple fates hanging in the balance, one question dominates: who won’t survive Corriedale?
Here’s who should meet their end to make this crossover truly unforgettable.
1. Eric Pollard (Emmerdale)
After nearly four decades in the Dales, it might finally be time to say goodbye to Eric Pollard.
Played by Chris Chittell since 1986, Eric is Emmerdale’s longest-serving character and a cornerstone of village life. But in recent years, his storylines have grown repetitive — brief crises, angry outbursts, and quick reconciliations that leave viewers feeling like they’ve seen it all before.
Killing off Eric would be a seismic move for Emmerdale, marking the end of an era and signaling a new chapter for the soap. His death would not only devastate fans but also create ripple effects across generations of characters, from Brenda to the Dingles.
Verdict: A brave, legacy-defining choice that would make Corriedale historic.
2. April Windsor (Emmerdale)
At the opposite end of the spectrum, Emmerdale could take a darker turn by killing off one of its youngest residents.
April Windsor, played by Amelia Flanagan, has endured a harrowing year of storylines — from homelessness to trauma and now being entangled in a dangerous county lines drug plot. Once a sweet, wise-beyond-her-years child, April’s descent into chaos has shocked viewers.
