As Coronation Street fans will already be well aware, this week marks the all-important live episode of Coronation Street.

But when’s it on? And who will be in it? And who’s leaving the soap for good?

It’s time to answer all of your questions about ITV’s 60th celebrations…

HOW MANY LIVE EPISODES WILL THERE BE?

Just one, we’re afraid - this isn’t going to be like the EastEnders celebrations from earlier in the year.

WHAT TIME IS THE LIVE EPISODE ON?

Wednesday 23 September - 7.30pm

HOW LONG IS THE LIVE EPISODE?

1 hour.

WHAT IS THE LIVE EPISODE ABOUT?

Soap boss Stuart Blackburn explains: "At the heart of all this is going to be the Platts and their ongoing feud between the good guys - and who thought David Platt would be one of the good guys? - versus Callum.

"It’s going to be full of shocks and turns and twists and really will make everything that has come before look like prologue.”

Watch the trailer for yourself below:

Blackburn added: “Decisions are going to be made that start with Sarah stupidly thinking she can get one over on Callum. From that point on, all decisions will have ripple effects for years to come.

“And that's not just hyperbole. It will happen."

Elsewhere on the cobbles, Tim will find out about Sally and Kevin's illicit kiss, the Street throws a farewell party for Andrea and Lloyd, and it's Roy's 60th birthday - but after events in Blackpool, he's nowhere to be seen.

WILL ANYONE DIE IN THE LIVE EPISODE?

We know that Andrea (Hayley Tamaddon) and Lloyd (Craig Charles) are leaving the soap - and that the live episode will mark their final appearance on the cobbles.

However it remains to be seen as to whether or not they will leave happily.

It has also been rumoured that David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) may be leaving the show, with the actor letting slip that his contract is up this September.

We know that he will be at the centre of the Callum drama, so it is possible that he could leave the cobbles in a body bag… although it would come as a shock to many viewers.

Sean Ward, who plays Callum, also hinted that this could be the end for his character during an interview with The Mirror.

He said: “I signed for eight episodes first and then that went to 20 and then I was offered a year’s contract. But when I was called in for a meeting about the live episodes, all I’ll say is hearing about this storyline was bittersweet.”

BUT WHAT ABOUT CARLA CONNOR AND TRACY BARLOW?

It was recently revealed that Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) and Carla Connor (Alison King) are set to clash in a deadly clifftop fight after Carla flips a coin to determine whether or not she should commit suicide.

And it seems as if, despite their past history, Tracy is the one who tries to talk the lingerie factory boss out of doing the unthinkable.

Will she plummet to her death from the 100ft cliff edge?

We know that Alison King is leaving the show, but soap bosses promised us plenty more story lines from her - could they have been fibbing?

WILL WE BE ABLE TO SEE BEHIND-THE-SCENES ACTION?

In a word, yes.

Eleven hidden cameras have been rigged in and around the set, allowing soap fans to watch all the behind-the-scenes action as and when it happens.

The stream, hosted by Stephen Mulhern, will broadcast live on Facebook and ITV.com via their laptop, mobile or tablet.

Yes, that means you can watch the behind-the-scenes stuff at EXACTLY the same time the actual episode airs; nifty!

IS THE LIVE EPISODE AN INTERACTIVE ONE?

Again, yes.

One viewer will get their tweet or Facebook message written on the empty blackboard in the Rovers by the end of the episode, and viewers can choose the music at Lloyd Mullaney and Andrea Beckett's leaving party by playing along in an interactive poll on Facebook and Twitter.

WHAT’S THE HASHTAG FOR THE LIVE EPISODE?

Ah, it’s very original - #CorrieLive.

WHAT IS CORONATION STREET LIVE: UNCOVERED?

Following the live episode’s dramatic climax, Stephen Mulhern will be hosting a special Q&A episode with the Corrie cast on ITV2.

It will air at 10pm.

WHAT IS THE REST OF CORONATION STREET’S TV SCHEDULE?

Friday 25th September - 7.30.pm and 8.30pm

Monday 28th September - 7.30pm and 8.30pm

Wednesday 30th September - 7.30pm

Please note: There will be no Corrie on Friday 2 October due to the Rugby World Cup
