Christmas and New Year is the most dramatic time of the year for the soaps, with both EastEnders and Corrie teasing massive storylines for tonight's episode.
In the BBC One show, viewers are hoping they will finally find out the fate of Keanu Taylor, who has been missing since Christmas.
He was though to have been murdered by Martin Fowler as part of a plot hatched by the Mitchells to punish him for bedding Sharon behind Phil's back.
Over on ITV, Corrie fans are being treated to a one-hour special as the residents of the Cobbles are still reeling from the bloody shooting at Christmas which killed Robert Preston and gunman Derek Milligan.
There's also trouble for Tracy as she cheats on Steve with Paula. She wakes up with a hangover and realises she's been unfaithful, and it gets worse when Amy realises what's happened.
