Corriedale: Emmerdale's Danny Miller drops huge 'spoiler' for crossover episode as he exclaims he 'probably shouldn't have said that'
Emmerdale star Danny Miller appeared to drop a huge hint about the upcoming Corriedale crossover live on radio.
Soap fans are eagerly awaiting the premiere of the historic episode, in which the world of Coronation Street and Emmerdale will crossover for the very first time on screen.
Dubbed ‘Corriedale’, the episode promises to bring shocking drama to both Weatherfield and Emmerdale as characters from both soaps are set to be involved in a devastating car crash with potentially fatal consequences. However, one star has appeared to rule himself as safe from the Corriedale chaos.
Emmerdale’s Danny Miller, who plays Aaron Dingle in the ITV soap, appeared to spill the beans that his character will still in in the show after the Corriedale crash. During a live appearance on TalkSPORT, Danny responded to a question about his future on the show.
He said that he was contracted at the soap “until next year” before quickly adding that “anything can happen”. Danny quickly tried to rectify his mistake, exclaiming: “Yeah, I suddenly realised I probably shouldn’t have said that.”
Danny has appeared as fan-favourite Emmerdale resident Aaron since 2008. His recent storylines have seen him escape the grips of killer John Sugden, reunite with ex Robert and face the wrath of Robert’s jailhouse-husband Kev.
The Corriedale episode is set to air on January 5 at 8pm on ITV. It will help to launch ITV’s new ‘soap power hour’, which will see both Coronation Street and Emmerdale move to a new weeknightly slot in the schedule. From January 5 onwards, Emmerdale will air a half-hour episode every Monday to Friday at 8pm, while Coronation Street follows at 8.30pm.
Speculation is rife within the soap fandoms over which stars will meet their fate in the dramatic Corriedale scenes. After a new teaser trailer was released by ITV, fans theorised that characters such as Coronation Street’s David Platt and Lisa Swain could meet their end, as well as Emmerdale residents such as Sarah Sugden or even John Sugden as he makes his dramatic return after fleeing the village earlier this year.
