“I think this is going to be a day that nobody forgets.”

Kirsty Soames makes a prediction on the morning of her wedding to Tyrone Dobbs.

She’s not wrong.

I was at ITV’s London launch yesterday for next Monday’s two wedding day episodes.

Always a treat to see Coronation Street on a big screen with an audience.

And then a showreel of what is to come in the weeks and months ahead.

Becky (Katherine Kelly) and Kylie (Paula Lane) in tonight's episodes.

ALL TV soaps go through peaks and troughs.

Like waves on the shore, they take time to flow towards moments of crashing brilliance.

Footprints in the sand captured on screen to be remembered forever.

Tonight brings another high tide as the exceptional Katherine Kelly (Becky McDonald) takes her leave of Weatherfield.
