Coronation Street is set for some joy this Christmas period, after some dark storylines in the past over the festive period.
Corrie boss Iain MacLeod promised: "It's very funny in places. It's very silly, and it's really heartwarming and joyous.
"There is a really strong community vibe this year, where we were actually able to film it at a time where there was a window of opportunity, to do some stuff where the actors didn't have to be two metres apart all the time.
"So it's got more of that Corrie community on the cobbles kind of feeling that some of our past Christmas episodes had."
In 2019, a terrifying siege left lives on the line and some dead, while last year Adam Barlow's attacker remained at large as he woke from his coma.
This time around, residents will feature in "heartwarming" scenes amid the already teased drama.
