Coronation Street is already building towards an emotional Christmas, with several major storylines set to unfold on the cobbles over the festive period.
One of the biggest developments will centre on Debbie Webster, as her dementia storyline continues to take an increasingly heartbreaking turn.
Sue Devaney, who plays Debbie, has teased that her character will enjoy a beautiful Christmas. However, things are expected to become much more difficult after the festive period, with Debbie’s condition deteriorating as the New Year approaches.
The soap is also planning a special episode told from Debbie’s perspective, giving viewers a different insight into how she experiences the world as her dementia progresses.
Meanwhile, the Platt family will be coming together for Christmas lunch at the Bistro.
David and Nick are expected to put their differences aside for the festive gathering, although there are hints that family drama won’t be far away.
There is also more to come for Abi Webster, with producer Kate Brooks teasing that viewers will see something of the old Abi returning over Christmas.
Glenda Shuttleworth is another character to watch, with Jodie Prenger teasing a secret involving her character’s Christmas cracker and a bigger storyline planned for 2027.
With emotional family moments, secrets and difficult times ahead for some of Weatherfield’s residents, Christmas 2026 is already shaping up to be an important one for Coronation Street.
But will the Platts manage to enjoy a peaceful Christmas, and how much worse will Debbie’s condition become?
Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
