Coronation Street fans who prefer their daily dose of cobbles drama first thing in the morning via ITVX and YouTube are likely wondering where Friday’s (May 1) edition of the ITV soap is, with it not having surfaced on streaming platforms.

The long-running TV soap is in the middle of a high-octane week of special episodes, centred around five characters and, come the end of said episodes, one will die.

The death in question was teased earlier in the year via a flashforward sequence, which saw Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) scream in terror upon discovering a dead body.

The potential victim is one of the following: Theo Silverton (James Cartwright), Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn), Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon), Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard), and Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown).

Coronation Street confirmed the absence of an early release this morning, with the soap’s official social media account writing on X: ‘We aren’t on ITVX and YouTube this morning, we’re a spoiler free zone.

‘So make sure you catch us at 8.30pm tonight #Corrie.’

The news was received well by fans, who branded the decision ‘great’. X user Thomas wrote: ‘nothing better than watching Corrie live with other fans at the same time, no risk of spoilers,’ while Alison said they’re ‘glad’ ITV are not ‘showing it early’.
