Coronation Street spoilers finds that fans were given a glimpse into what they could expect on the cobbles for the Christmas episodes on social media last night when the first official trailer dropped.
There is no secret that the episodes are likely to be intense, and that was supported with the trailer. We get our first glimpse over the armed siege, and Gary Windass (Mikey North) features heavily throughout. We can also see Shona (Julia Goulding) and David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) throughout trying to have some festive cheer, but if rumours are to be believed that could end in disaster.
Coronation Street Spoilers: Gary’s Feud With Derek
There Christmas episode is likely to be the end of the feud between Gary and Derek (Craige Els). The two have been down each other’s throats for much of the year after Gary took over the business as a loan shark. The relationship between them has soared over recent weeks with Gary ordering him to leave Weatherfield.
Derek tried to go behind Gary‘s back to sell the factory that he doesn’t own so he can get the money to take his family on holiday. But, Gary will find out about that plan and take him hostage. He inevitably breaks free and steals a gun that was brought into the furniture shop to try and gain revenge on his advisory.
It is unclear which character will be killed off at this point, but it has been reported that Shona could be the unlucky partner as she leaves to go on maternity leave. It would come as another damaging blow for the Platt’s who have already had to overcome a great deal of stress over the past couple of years.
Coronation Street Spoilers: Rita’s Fall and Michelle Shocked
The armed siege isn’t the only big recurring storyline taking place on the street, as Rita Tanner (Barbara Knox) and Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh) are also set for big episodes. The latter of which will focus on her departure and finally selling over the bistro to a new mystery buyer.
Michelle will be shocked when she finds out who buys the restaurant as a ghost from her past will be revealing himself. Rita will also have an accident over Christmas as her tree falls on her while she is in the apartment alone. It has been a tough couple of weeks for the legend, and it doesn’t promise to get any easier over the festive period.
