Coronation Street’s Christmas Day 2025 episode, watched by 6 million viewers, delivered a bombshell with the return of Bethany Platt, played by Lucy Fallon, who exposes a secret affair between Daniel Osbourne and Leanne Battersby.
The reveal, set during a tense Barlow family dinner, leads to a confrontation that leaves Ken Barlow hospitalized after a fall.
Fans on X praised the twist, with #CorrieXmas trending, though some criticized the recycled infidelity trope.
The storyline, teased for weeks, ties into a broader arc exploring family loyalty and mental health, with Leanne’s cult involvement resurfacing.
Producers hint at further shocks in 2026, marking the soap’s 65th anniversary.
The episode’s high stakes and emotional depth maintain Corrie’s reputation for gripping festive drama, boosting ITV’s ratings and engaging multi-generational audiences.
