Corodale Odds: Carla Connor To Meet Charity Dingle?

Coronation Street and Emmerdale are to unite for the first with a special episode…

ITV has made an exciting announcement for Coronation Street and Emmerdale superfans – they are making a crossover episode of the two soaps. While some have been speculating about the crossover episode, there’s been a mixed reaction from viewers of the long-running sagas.

Gambling.com‘s Entertainment expert, James Leyfield has been following the news around the Coronation Street and Emmerdale crossover and has created markets on it.

Could Carla Connor Meet Charity Dingle?

The channel are yet to confirm how fans will vote for which two characters, one from each soap, they would like to see interact in the crossover episode. One of the most popular dream Corrie and Emmerdale match-ups is Corrie’s Carla Connor, played by Alison King, and Emmerdale’s Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins).

It’s 11/8 that it happens, and 2/1 for Carla to meet up with Kim Tate (Claire King). Perhaps a Yorkshire-Manchester business deal could be in the offing?

Another popular match-up could see Corrie’s Kirk Sutherland (Andy Whyment) and Dales legend Sam Dingle (James Hooton) join forces and they are 6/4 to meet.

Corrie And Emmerdale Veterans

It would be a lovely piece of soap legend if Ken Barlow (Bill Roache) was to share a scene with Emmerdale veteran Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell). Odds of 5/2 are available for the pair to team up, but it’s almost as likely for Corrie and Emmerdale bad boys to share a scene.

Gary Windass (Mikey North) and Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) are 3/1 to come face-to-face. Steve and Jai are 6/1 to bump into one another in the crossover episode and a similar thing could happen between Corrie’s Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) and Dales matriarch Kim Tate.

Claire and Ben had an on-screen romance on the cobbles when their characters Erica Holroyd and Nick hooked up. It’s 8/1 they reunite from separate soaps in the special episode.

Natalie Anderson’s new Corrie character Danielle Silverton is 10/1 to meet up with Emmerdale’s Jacob Gallagher (Joe Warren-Plant), after Natalie played Joe’s mother Alicia Gallagher in the Dales.

Gail’s Woolpack Wine?

Could we see Gail Platt sipping a glass of wine in the Woolpack? Or could ex-Dales character Bernice Blackstock land a job at Underworld? Both seem unlikely at 5/1 and 6/1 respectively, but perhaps someone who has graced both soaps could make a return for the hour-long special?

Denise Welch is 13/8 for a crossover episode comeback. Denise portrayed Corrie’s Natalie Barnes from 1997 and 2000 and then turned up in Emmerdale as a juror named Heidi late last year. Another star who has appeared in both Corrie and Emmerdale is Brassic’s Joe Gilgun.
