A number of characters were shown to interact with one another as well as other potential long-term ties hinted at.

One of these involved mysterious newcomer Jodie, played by Olivia Frances-Brown.

She made her debut during Corriedale when she was seen tied up in the back of a van driven by someone in a balaclava.

It later transpired that this mystery man was Emmerdale’s Graham Foster who had returned from the dead after six years away.

Now Corrie boss Kate has revealed fans will get the answers they’re looking for in upcoming scenes.

She told the Mirror: “We will reference what happened, we’ll find out exactly why she was in that van, we’ll find out what her link to Graham is.

“We’ll reveal what went on between them, and how Jodie ended up running for a life and what Graham’s role was in it all.

“It’s a story that goes on to be really big as we get into spring and summer.

The crossover episode also teased Jodie’s connection to Shona Platt with both ladies sharing an almost identical tattoo.

After being left with loopholes after the episode, ITV viewers speculated a second crossover special will happen to explain the mysterious link between the characters.

Writing online about Jodie’s show debut, one fan said: “Does this mean we’re gonna get more characters crossing over later this year as Graham is involved in her story?”

The crossover show drama centred on a huge car pile-up during the hour-long special, with Corrie vicar Billy Mayhew and Dales serial killer John Sugden both meeting their makers in shocking scenes.

Following the success of the unique episode, which saw soap fans go wild for the drama, ITV has also dropped a telling hint there could be more by virtue of a show trademark.

According to the Intellectual Property Office, a trademark for the black and white Corriedale logo was filed by ITV’s London office on December 17.

The trademark application was then published on January 2.

The protection covers a host of areas including sound and video recordings and downloads, recorded television programmes and downloadable media content.

It also spans to bags, wallets, tote bags and umbrellas as well as items of homeware and crockery.
