Coronation Street actress Samia Smith has told Inside Soap magazine subscription holders she feels prepared for this year's live episode.
She joined the long-running soap just before the 40th anniversary special, which featured a live show, but she felt really nervous about it that time round.
Samia told Inside Soap magazine: "I'd only been in the Street for eight months when we did the live episode for the 40th anniversary, so it was really scary! But now I'm really excited about the one which is coming up.
"I have to remember not to collapse in a heap just before transmission, which is what I did last time. Poor Alan Halsall [who plays Tyrone Dobbs] had to drag me up off the floor while the theme music was playing!"
Tonight (December 9th), the Corrie hour-long episode will be screened on ITV.
It will be a continuation of the shows earlier this week, which showed a tram crash hitting the Street's residents, leaving some of the characters in life-threatening situations.
