Corriedale deleted scene shows how explosive episode could have ended
ITV’s highly-anticipated Corriedale special aired last night, with stars from both soaps meet on another in the dramatic episode – but there’s one scene that didn’t make the cut
Sam Dingle’s scene was cut from Corriedale – but fans can now watch it
ITV aired its dramatic Corriedale special last night, which saw the worlds of Weatherfield and Emmerdale Farm collide after a catastrophic car crash. Viewers watched as Becky crashed her car into John Sugden and Aaron Dingle’s vehicle, before a drunk Carl Webster and Billy Mayhew’s minibus full of people collided with the pair.
Ahead of the hour-long episode, fans were given the chance to vote for which ‘dream duo’ of Coronation Street and Emmerdale icons they wanted to see in a scene together. Ultimately, it was Charity Dingle and Carla Connor winning the vote, with the duo meeting in hospital after sustaining injuries in the crash.
While viewers didn’t get a chance to see the others pairs – which included Roy Cropper and Nicola King, and Ross Barton and Tracy Barlow – ITV has shared a look at Kirk Sutherland and Sam Dingle’s meeting in a behind-the-scenes special. Hosted by Luis Elkes, Corriedale: Backstage Pass landed on ITVX and YouTube shortly after the episode aired, featuring interviews with the stars and behind-the-scenes clips.
However, the 20-minute episode ended with Kirk and Sam’s “hilarious” scene of them meeting in the hospital. The short clip sees the pair trying to work out the hospital map, with Kirk telling him: “I gave some people a lift in the van but now I’ve lost them. I need to give them a lift to A&E. You here about the crash?
Sam replies: “Yeah. Aaron were in one of the cars. Charity were in another. I think our Cain’s been shot again.” When Sam tells him that they’re all part of his family – the Dingle clan – Kirk can’t resist poking fun at the name.
“Dingle?” he laughs. “You’re called Dingle? Dingle!” However, Sam doesn’t see the humour in it. “There’s nothing funny about it!” he says.
An apologetic Kirk tells him: “No, not at all. Sorry. I should get on. Peanut will be wanting her dinner.” The camera then pans down to show that the Corrie legend had smuggled his pet dachsund into the hospital.
“I’m not sure they’re allowed in here, you know?” Sam warns, before Kirk begins to leave. “It’s a good job I ran into you,” Kirk says. “Someone with smarts.”
Fans can’t get enough of the scene, with many taking to social media to demand for it to be cut into the Corriedale special. “This is hilarious! The combined IQ of a literal peanut,” one viewer wrote.
Another said on Reddit: “Kirk is the only character who would plausibly bring a dog to a hospital!” A third asked: “Why was it deleted, this is amazing!”
