Coronation Street back with six episodes from Monday 14th September

It's full steam ahead in Weatherfield this autumn as Coronation Street returns to six episodes a week in the run up to the show's 60th anniversary.

From Monday 14th September viewers will once more be able to catch up with all the drama on the cobbles in a double bill of episodes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

In the coming months the drama will amplify as we rocket towards Coronation Street's 60th anniversary on 9th December.

A series of explosive storylines will see David and Shona fighting to rekindle their lost love, Daniel's confused emotional connection to sex worker Nicky deepen, an epic feud between Abi and Debbie begins, while Peter's involvement in Abi's dark past will bring trouble to his own door with Carla.

Leanne will take on the world as she fights to save her son Oliver, however a face from Nick's past threatens his future when Natasha Blakeman returns to Weatherfield.

Natasha isn't the only face returning to Coronation Street, Todd Grimshaw's return spells more heartache for Eileen and plants a bomb under Billy and Paul. But it's not all heartache for Eileen when a new arrival puts a spring in her step!

Producer Iain MacLeod said:

The amount of work that has gone into keeping Coronation Street on the air, and getting it back to six episodes a week, has been staggering. I am so proud of the tireless efforts of everyone behind the scenes and onscreen. We have been energised and motivated by the nearly 60 years of heritage behind the show, and the massively important place it still holds in the Nation's hearts. Throughout lockdown and beyond, the regular instalments of Britain's best-loved soap have taken on even greater significance, giving viewers a beacon of familiarity and normality amid the craziest of times. It is often said that our characters are like members of the viewers' extended families. And at a time when many people couldn't see their loved ones in real life, their fictional friends on the cobbles became even more essential, as the audience escaped in half-hour bursts into the wonderful world of Weatherfield.
