CHRISTMAS is a dangerous time in soapland and this year it's set to be more dramatic than ever.
While the rivers of Weatherfield, Walford and the Dales might not literally run with blood, the undertakers will certainly be kept busy in what could shape up to be the most exciting Christmas in soapland since Den Watts got overexcited with a do-it-yourself divorce pack from WH Smith.
Coronation Street
Carla Connor's comeback
Rex Features
It didn't take long for Carla Connor to become a Weatherfield icon fit to stand next to the likes of Elsie Tanner, Bet Lynch and Vera Duckworth.
So when she left the cobbles two years ago, things haven't been the same since, but show boss Kate Oates is giving the nation a Christmas gift in the form of a Corrie comeback for Carla.
Kate teased the festive frollicks, saying: "I don't think it's what people would expect. It's a storyline that's got long-running consequences.
"I think when she first comes back people will be like, 'Oh, I didn't expect this to be her returning story'.
She added to the Daily Star: "But as it runs on things will become clear and they will realise why Corrie has brought her back."
Tracy Barlow and Steve McDonald reuniting
ITV
No, you don't need new glasses and yes, you did read that right - Tracy Barlow and Steve McDonald are reuniting.
It's a Christmas miracle - or at least it is for everyone except their poor daughter Amy, who is frankly outraged that her manipulative mother and frightfully fertile father are bumping uglies once more.
The Sun Online revealed how the shockingly brilliant storyline will unfold at Christmas and leave Amy feeling put out.
"Well Amy’s not happy about it because she knows that they’re both trouble and on a very shallow level she’s used to things being as they are - she gets two birthday presents, two Christmas presents, she gets two sets of Christmas presents as kids of broken homes do," Kate Oates exclusively told The Sun Online.
"But also I think she’s just worried that it will end in tears because she knows that they’re both walking car crashes and everything’s kinda alright and they kinda get on and I think she’s really afraid of them getting together and then it all imploding so she’s not very happy to start with.
"But I really like Steve and Tracy because you can see what sort of thing has drawn them back together - they’ve both been around the block so many times the pair of them that actually in a way, maybe they should be brought back together for a while.
"But whether it will be long-long term, you’ll have to wait and see. Amy’s prophecy may come true."
EastEnders
Catastrophe for Christmas in Walford
BBC
It's no secret that EastEnders hasn't had the best of years, but that's all set to change at Christmas.
The long-running Max Branning's revenge plot is finally going to come to an end with some utterly explosive episodes over the festive period which will see the exits of his daughters Lauren and Abi from Walford.
"With Christmas rapidly approaching in Albert Square, things are set to explode in catastrophic style," the EastEnders team teased.
"Secrets and lies are exposed and families are torn apart forever.
"With the Branning’s at the heart of Christmas day, the special festive episodes will be written by Simon Ashdown.
"The Brannings will be at the heart of the drama and it is set to be a classic EastEnders Christmas that will go down in Walford history."
Exciting times!
Ben Mitchell's exit
He's had more faces than Mount Rushmore and is practically Walford's answer to Doctor Who, but after three years Ben Mitchell is leaving Walford again.
Soap bosses decided Christmas was the perfect time for Ben to leave the Square but have remained mum on exactly how he will leave.
It's perfectly possible that Ben could leave Walford having had a moment's joy at some point, but then again he could also be abducted by aliens which is probably more likely than a happy ending in Walford.
There are many theories about how Ben will leave - murdering, murdered, happy, sad, lottery win etc, but all a source would say is that it will be "explosive".
Kaboom.
Emmerdale
Emma's killer reveal
ITV
While many soap whodunnits drag on, and on and one - and in the case of Lucy Beale - on and on and on, Emmerdale has learned that fans don't have the patience to wait fourteen decades for an answer.
So when Emma Barton plunged off a bridge with a face lit up like she was the happiest soon-to-be corpse in the mortuary, bosses promised a speedy resolution - and we're getting it.
Mince pies will still be in the shops when viewers find out in a series of flashbacks which of the seven suspects decided to end the twisted nurse's life with a shove and a smile.
A ROBRON EXTRAVAGANZA
Despite all logic saying Aaron Dingle and Robert Sugden should immediately move to the opposite side of the world to each other and never be in the same hemisphere, time zone and if they can absolutely help it -show, these two do insist on keep getting back together.
As neither intends to raise their standards at any point, Robron's latest reunion will come to the fore at Christmas in their own special episode.
Producer Iain MacLeod has confirmed the fan favourite couple will reunite and tie the knot properly next summer, after a special Christmas Day episode centres around them as Robert strives to become a decent human being again.
He said: “It’s kind of a Robron single-strander. Which is probably the weirdest episode we’ve ever done and given that we’ve done some pretty weird episodes before that’s saying something.
“It’s really kind of out there and kind of the episode I’ve been most nervous about since I started just because of how crackers it is really.
“I think it’s really entertaining and dramatic. It’s got a surprise cameo on it. It’s stylistically a bit weird and romantic.
“It’s going to be really great. I always think of Aaron and Robert as being on either end of a massive piece of elastic.
“At the moment the elastic is stretched pretty tight.
“The events of Christmas and New Year will boing them back together, to coin an expression," he concluded.
