"The producers, scriptwriters and production teams have conceived an ingenious way of linking the two universes, but with characters then returning to the soaps they are renowned for inhabiting in Manchester and Yorkshire.
"The episode will be self-contained, but the consequences of the high-stakes drama will have repercussions for both communities and see them linked forever as familiar faces depart and exciting new characters arrive into both soaps." In something that has been described as a "special treat" for viewers, fans of the soap operas will be given the chance to decide which two characters (one from each soap) they would like to see interact in a scene. After this instalment, the shows will return to their new normal format (30-minute episodes).
