By Sophie Dainty Wednesday, Sep 23 2015, 18:30 BST

There really is nowhere for the Platt family to run tonight, as Coronation Street goes live again with a dramatic hour-long special to mark 60 years of ITV.

Fans have been told to expect a night of explosive drama in Weatherfield which will see Callum and the Platts in a terrifying showdown. A betrayal will be discovered, one character will take dramatic revenge, and there are several other shocks and surprises that no one will see coming.

Join us back here at 7.30pm as we take you through all the action from the live episode as it happens.

20:37 Some fantastic performances tonight - well done to all the cast and crew involved. Don't forget to head over to ITV2 at 10pm for Coronation Street Live: Uncovered with Stephen Mulhern. And you can share all of your reactions to the episode in the comments below.

20:32 And that's it! To recap, Callum is very much dead and buried, Andrea and Lloyd have seemingly departed, Sally and Tim's romance is in jeopardy and Roy and Cathy shared a lovely moment.

20:30 No offence David but I really don't think everything is going to be okay.

20:30 Callum is under the patio. Trevor Jordache/Brookside, anybody?

20:28 Lloyd and Andrea are saying their goodbyes but we have been warned to expect something unexpected before they bow out of Weatherfield for good.

20:28 Cathy and Roy - it's happening! She will never be Hayley admittedly, but there really is something sweet there.

20:26 Is it all over for Sally and Tim?

20:25 Cathy and Roy are adorable! Not quite sure what is going on with Craig though. Is he miming or has the sound gone strange?

20:24 Kylie and David should call up Chrissie Watts from her cell and ask for tips #DirtyDen

20:23 Seems like the bromance between Kevin and Tim is well and truly over then.

20:20

Did you hear it? It's the song you chose playing in The Rovers! #WellDoneTeam #CorrieLive

20:19 "Sweets?" Yes, they will solve all of David's problems right now...

20:18 In case anyone was wondering, Callum is very much dead. He is still receiving text messages though.

20:17

Credit where it's due, Callum hasn't fluffed any of his lines for the last half hour. #CorrieLive

20:13 Oh no! Sally's secret just been let out of the bag! On a side note, how funny is Anna?

20:09 Oh dear! It's Roy verses the bus system round two. Will he stop Cathy leaving though? That is the all-important question.

20:08 "No way are we putting him there" - something tells us that Kylie could be about to change her mind.

20:05 Don't go, Cathy!

20:05 And we are back! "Why does he have to be dead?" "Because he is". Wise words from David there!

20:04

Amazing so far #CorrieLive

Mummy killed Daddy. Just imagine what little Max is going to be like in a few years... #CorrieLive #corrie

20:01 And breathe! Time for another ad break. Spotted any mistakes so far?

20:00 Someone really needs to tell Tony and Todd that the problem has been dealt with...

19:56 "She said we should paddle" - Roy discussing Hayley is tugging at our heartstrings.

19:54 How do you think Sean Ward is doing at playing dead? Haven't seen him flinch yet. In other news, David wants them to cover up Callum's death.

19:52 And David wants to know EXACTLY what happened.

19:51 Update: Callum is still dead. David knows. There is a disagreement over the police.

19:50 Roy is just all kinds of amazing.

19:49 Tina O'Brien and Paula Lane are doing an amazing job so far.

19:48 Callum's DEAD.

19:46 Here we go again!

19:44

OMG! @tinaob is bloody rockin it! That was one heck of a whack x #CorrieLive

19:42 OMG! Is Callum dead? Cue first ad break.

19:41 This is scary...

19:40 "It's just you and me now". Can anyone help Sarah?

19:38 And Callum is not taking it lightly. Not at all.

19:38 Uh oh! Looks like Sarah's plan has been rumbled...

19:37 Roy's in no mood for celebrating #awkward

19:36 "No Steve?" No, Simon Gregson isn't taking part in the live episode unfortunately :(

19:35 Callum making more demands? Never!

19:34 Is it just me or does Callum look even more menacing than usual tonight?

19:33 Craig is all dressed up for his date! Aw!

19:32 "You are three minutes ahead of schedule" - Roy is NOT happy.

19:30 Here we go...#CorrieLive

19:27

@itvcorrie this could be ITV's greatest ever episode of Coronation St. Like thousands of other fans out there I'm mega excited. Good luck!

19:26 So, Emmerdale has finished (poor Andy!) and Corrie is minutes away from going live. The episode will pick up immediately where Monday's double bill left off, with Callum furious that Sarah has lured him to the Street under false pretences. Good luck to all the cast and crew!

19:15 It's your fifteen minute warning! Don't forget, you can also keep up with what is happening behind the scenes as the episode airs via Corrie's Facebook page or itv.com.
