Coronation Street Spoilers: Cobbles Back to Traditional Slot for Gail’s Exit

This Christmas, Coronation Street spoilers suggest a surprise for longtime Corrie fans. We are about to get back to our earlier tradition of an hour-long episode, beginning with Gail’s iconic exit. That means more drama, more revelations, and a lot more excitement. But what else does it have in store?

Back to Tradition

After last year’s heartbreaking decision to cut the episode’s time to just 30 minutes – Corrie fans were left hanging. There was no notice of coming back to the earlier slot until this year’s Christmas. In fact, it was the shortest episode aired since 1997.

Coronation Street spoilers reveal that ITV has announced the show’s primary slot, airing from 7 PM to 8 PM. As longtime viewers, the festive hour has to be a major highlight of the season. It’s that time of the year when the twists get even twistier, and we get to see shocking revelations. As the showtime gets extended by 30 minutes, we can only expect more of it.

Not a Happy News for the Dales

Coronation Street and Emmerdale both had cut short its episode times by 30 minutes. But it turns out only the former one is getting back to its earlier slot. Emmerdale will still stick to its half-hour slot from 6:30 PM to 7 PM.

Emmerdale fans now need to wait for the right time. Maybe Dales creators are now waiting for a major twist to make this announcement and get back to its original schedule.

Gail to Have a Happy Farewell?

Gail Rodwell’s exit is going to be a major highlight of the Christmas season – but the details of how it will happen are still under wraps. So far, we only know that she’s going to have a wedding. But will it be without twists? I have my doubts.

At a press event, Kate Brooks told the media: 

“In a word, Christmas is very fun this year. It’s a very lively Christmas on the Street and lots of bombshells are dropped. Obviously, this is set against Gail’s wedding. Whether she goes through with that or not, I cannot say anything! But this is a story with the Platts at the heart of it. It’s really festive. Basically, it’s a story about family and how secrets impact and implode on a family. There are a lot of betrayals. Lots of secrets are exposed during this episode, and it will be like classic Corrie, with a bit of a twist. I think we’re all in need of a bit of escapism at the minute, and we’ve had quite a dark but brilliant few months on the cobbles.

The Christmas period for us is all about trying to tap into the family dynamics of the Platts, what makes people tick, and ultimately trying to make sure that we give glorious Gail the exit that she deserves.”With so much hype and secrecy surrounding Gail’s exit, the speculations are high. Will the exit mean a fresh start for her? Or will she be leaving the cobbles with heartbreak?
