It is the question on everyone's lips - will criminal Callum Logan survive Coronation Street's hour-long live special episode?

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

And it is the Platt family that is pushed to centre stage with David (Jack P Shepherd) a 6/1 shot to be bumped off.

His half-sister Sarah-Louise (Tina O'Brien) and wife Kylie (Paula Lane) fair little better at 8/1 to die.

The episode marks ITV's 60th birthday.

It sees the Platts caught up in a war with violent, manipulative Callum.

Sarah-Louise runs into trouble when she takes him on, posing the question of what will her ex-boyfriend do to retaliate?

This will be producer Stuart Blackburn's swansong as Emmerdale's current producer Kate Oates will soon take over ITV's biggest soap.

The live episode will also reveal a big secret as Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) finds out about the illicit kiss shared between fiancee Sally Webster (Sally Dynevor) and her ex-husband Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell).

The live drama will offer a second screen experience as fans will be able to watch via their laptop, mobile or tablet as the episode is being made on itv.com and Facebook.

The stream is hosted by Stephen Mulhern, who is also presenting an after-show called Coronation Street Live: Uncovered on ITV2 at 10pm.

One viewer's tweet or Facebook message will also be seen on the blackboard in the famous Rovers Return pub.

Viewers also get to choose the music at the leaving party for Lloyd Mullaney (Craig Charles) and Andrea Beckett (Hayley Tamaddon) in an interactive poll on Facebook and Twitter.
