Stephen Mulhern will present Monday's special which will bring viewers closer to the action and get a reaction from the live audience. 

On Thursday, Corrie's first live episode in 10 years will air. On Friday, Paul O'Grady will host a special one-off quiz show testing celebrities knowledge of 50 years of the street. Finally on Tuesday and Thursday 50 Years, 50 Moments will air, showcasing 50 of the greatest Corrie moments chosen by the public. 

It's going to be a fantastic week for Corrie and a great year next year. 

Who's looking forward to it?
