At the centre of the anniversary drama is of course Coronation Street itself as the residents unite to save the cobbles from the dastardly dealings of Ray.

Having bought up most of the property and businesses in the area, Ray is ready to flatten the lot.

He plans to make way for his new development – which will change Weatherfield forever.
