What happens in Coronation Street tonight?

Tonight, Bernie grabs a golf club at a late knock, panicking it’s Mal, but relaxes when Kit appears and hears the whole sorry saga. Mal then kicks off publicly in the café, forcing Roy to chuck him out – but Bernie’s fierce warning barely fazes him.

Elsewhere, Jodie forces a smile through a pamper day as Shona’s wedding ring suddenly goes AWOL, Christina lands herself in hot water with a careless joke, and Steve sinks pints and plays darts, blissfully unaware he’s missing a life-changing call.

Soap power hour schedule in 2026

Corrie had a major shift back in October 2024, when daily episodes began streaming on ITVX from 7am.

The move proved popular with viewers, with figures from the first quarter of 2025 showing ITVX reached a ‘record-breaking’ billion streams in a single quarter for the ‘first time ever.’ Coronation Street and Emmerdale alone have clocked up 124 million streams on the platform so far this year, with soap viewing rising by 35 percent compared to the first quarter of 2024.

More changes are on the horizon too, as ITV prepares to roll out a new ‘soap power hour’ from the second week of January 2026.

Under the new schedule, Corrie will no longer air just three nights a week. Instead, it will be shown every weekday, Monday to Friday, from 8.30pm to 9pm, with each episode running for half an hour. New episodes will continue to drop on ITVX every morning at 7am.
