Will criminal Callum Logan survive Coronation Street's highly anticipated hour-long live special episode which airs tonight?

Bookmaker William Hill has made the character, played by Sean Ward, the favourite to be killed off with odds of 1/8 on this outcome.

"Around 80 per cent think Callum will be killed off tonight, but there is every chance that the current storyline is a double bluff," said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.

The Platt family is central to the action tonight and the odds on David (Jack P Shepherd) dying are currently a 6/1 shot, while his half-sister Sarah-Louise (Tina O'Brien) and wife Kylie (Paula Lane) are both 8/1 to be bumped off.

During the episode, which marks ITV's 60th birthday, the Platts are caught up in a war with violent, manipulative Callum, but Sarah-Louise runs into trouble when she takes him on; what will her ex-boyfriend do in retaliation?

As befits a live episode, viewers are promised drama, comedy and tears.
