Will the grim reaper be working the Christmas day shit? (Picture: ITV/Metro)
It wouldn’t be a proper soap Christmas in Coronation Street without a Christmas dinner from hell with explosive revelations, recriminations, tension and high drama.
This year the sparks are due to fly at the Rovers Return, where the Driscoll family are settling in for their first Christmas together in Weatherfield – and good will is most definitely not on the menu.
As well as the family, there are some extra guests around the table. Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) and Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) have been invited, which is a tad awkward as we know that there’s history – and possibly unfinished business – between Adam and Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley (Catherine Tyldesley).
Eva is keeping a secret of her own that’s filling her with guilt, and when her daughter Susie (Aurora Bradshaw) says she’d love a little brother or sister, Eva struggles to hold herself together.

Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn) spots a tender moment between her daughter in law and Adam, as well as a secret hidden letter. She’s been looking for a chance to get rid of Eva, and she cooks up a plan to do just that.
Also at the dinner table are Daniel Osborne (Rob Mallard) and Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon). The two of them recently became a couple, and as far as the Driscolls are concerned Megan is Will’s (Lucas Hodgson-Wale)’s coach who has been supervising his training. Viewers know that Megan has actually groomed Will and has been having an illicit relationship with him.
Obviously Will is devastated to see the woman he believes he’s in love with sitting at his family’s Christmas dinner table with her new boyfriend and he’s seething with rage.
