A new year is dawning in Weatherfield but what does it mean for the residents of the ITV soap’s famous street?

Christmas is almost a distant memory and there’s not long to go now until people across the country will be ringing in the New Year.

While it may be considered as a fresh start for some, that won’t stop the drama following some of the Weatherfield residents from 2024 into 2025 in Coronation Street.

We know this as the spoilers for the end of December and the start of January – starting on Monday, December 30, and ending on Friday, January 3 – have been revealed.

Things kick off with Leanne Battersby heading back to her flat while Nick Tilsley and Toyah Habeeb watch from across the street after her revenge plan was exposed over Christmas.

After finding out from Dee-Dee Bailey that Leanne could face a custodial sentence for fixing them up, Toyah asks Nick to drop the charges. Later, Leanne runs into Nick, Toyah and Sam Blakeman who reveal that they’re off into town to celebrate Nick’s birthday. How will Leanne feel?

Elsewhere, when a stressed out DS Lisa Swain reveals that they had a burst pipe and the flat is flooded, Carla Connor invites her and Betsy to stay for new year. As Lisa and Betsy move into her flat, Carla spots some files relating to Lisa’s partner Becky’s death amongst Lisa’s things leaving her feeling awkward.

Lisa later surprises Carla with a romantic lunch in the café, but the mood is broken when she receives an urgent call to an incident. As Carla informs Kit, he receives an urgent request for back up at the same address. Once back on the street, and sporting a bruised face and split lip, Lisa assures Carla she’s fine and ready for a drink. In the Rovers, Jenny Connor rings the bell and everyone joins in on the countdown to midnight. When Carla lets slip to Lisa that she loves her, does Lisa feel the same?

As 2025 begins, Roy Cropper is concerned about Carla when she starts hearing things and looking confused. He suggests she goes home and get some rest but, increasingly worried about her, he lets himself into her flat and finding her barely conscious on the living room floor he calls an ambulance. In the hospital, the doctor tells Roy that he suspects Carla may be suffering from sepsis.

Meanwhile, Lisa is unaware of the drama unfolding as she follows a newly released Matty and confronts him in the precinct demanding he tell her where he was the night Becky was killed. Having been warned off by Kit, Lisa returns home armed with flowers and wine but finds there’s no sign of Carla.

After spending the afternoon in bed with Mason, Betsy is angry to read text messages on his phone from Stu Carpenter offering him a job in Germany as a trainee chef. As she orders him to leave Lisa arrives home and demands to know what is going on. But Lisa catches up with Mason and shows him some photos taken at the crime scene of Becky’s death and reveals that his brothers were driving the car that mowed Becky down.

Mason is genuinely shocked and asks Dylan to keep a lookout for him while he searches Matty and Logan’s flat. He and Dylan arrive at the station and hand Lisa a WWII helmet that he found at the flat. Could it be the smoking gun Lisa needs?

Meanwhile, the doctor breaks the news to a shocked Carla that the sepsis has damaged her kidney and she may need another transplant. Ryan Connor returns from Ireland and realising that Carla lied about her whereabouts Lisa visits Carla and spells out that she doesn’t appreciate being lied to. Carla makes out that she didn’t want any fuss and she’s on the mend. Clearly hurt, Lisa leaves her to it.

Also on the cobbles, a row which breaks out between DC Kit Green and David Platt. Kit’s mum Bernie Winter intervenes, reminding Kit that David was a good mate to Paul Foreman before his tragic death earlier this year.

When David returns home to be confronted by his children Max and Lily demanding answers, Shona explains how David prevented her from seeing her son. David later approaches Kit, hoping to dupe him into confessing to his crimes regarding Nathan Curtis earlier this year, but Kit sees through him and decides to take the law into his own hands.

Later, Kit tells David that he’s back on the Radcliffe brothers’ hit list and he’d better watch his back. Shona calls at the salon and tentatively suggests to David an evening of board games with Lily. When Audrey Roberts advises him to put his family first, will David agree?

And, Steve McDonald tells Ken Barlow that he plans to look for his own place to live. When Ken notices Cassie Plummer seems out of sorts, she bursts into tears making out she’s run up a huge debt buying presents for the family. How will Ken react?

Later,Ken enthuses about the ballet and tells Cassie that he’s sorry he’s not much company but he feels completely exhausted. By mid-week at No.1, Cassie appears in Steve’s dressing gown. Steve and Tracy Barlow are shocked until she explains that with Steve working a night shift, she stayed over to look after Ken.

Cassie winds Tracy up by making out she fancies Ken. Cassie later laments to Ken how he’s cultured, educated and kind whereas she’s the complete opposite. Ken feels sorry for her, unaware she’s playing him. Tracy warns Steve that Cassie is trying to get her claws into Ken and it would be a bad idea for him to move out.

At the end of the week, Tracy confronts Cassie over an advance she has had in her wages from Ken. How will she react? Tracy tells Steve and Amy that while she’s in Spain, it’s their job to keep an eye on Cassie for her. Steve and Amy reckon she’s worrying about nothing.
