CORONATION Street’s boss Kate Oates has revealed the new sixth episode will debut with the action packed wedding of Eva Price and Aidan Connor, beginning on September 20 as part of a massive week for the soap.
Corrie fans will now get double helpings of their favourite soap on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays every week.
Producer Kate Oates has revealed that the massive week will kick off a huge autumn for the show.
In an unexpected twist Eva Price's revenge plan will hit a roadblock when Aidan Connor confesses to his affair with Maria on their wedding day.
Despite this Eva plans to go ahead with her plan to jilt Aidan but uses his confession to humiliate Maria on the hen night.
However the wedding day sees Maria storm the ceremony to try and stop Aidan from marrying Eva.
This will lead to one of Corrie's classic scraps with Maria and Eva fighting it out in a fountain, Eva in her full wedding ensemble.
Things also don't go to plan to Jenny Bradley and Johnny Connor when Rita is rushed to hospital and jenny refuses to leave her bedside putting their wedding in doubt.
Meanwhile Michelle Connor's stalking horror reaches a chilling climax when she is cornered by ex-boyfriend Will in his house as she realises it is him.
