Coronation Street: Romanian Holiday is a feature-length spin-off released exclusively on DVD on 26th October 2009. It follows Street residents Roy and Hayley Cropper as they go on holiday to Transylvania, Romania, to house-sit for the newly married Frankie Baldwin while she is on her honeymoon. David Neilson and Julie Hesmondhalgh play their familiar Coronation Street roles, with Katherine Kelly as Becky McDonald also appearing. Following the pattern set by 2008's Out of Africa DVD spin-off, the special was recorded on location in Romania and many Romanian actors were cast in small roles. John Henshaw and Siobhan Finneran also star as Glen and Verity, a couple who befriend the Croppers despite their vastly different interests.

Today in Coronation Street history
28th November 1984: Stan Ogden's funeral takes place. Family and friends, including his widow Hilda and son Trevor, gather to pay their respects. Stan had died from a heart attack only a week after being permanently hospitalised on suggestion of Dr. Lowther, although Hilda had been worried about taking him away from his home when his health was failing. Hilda holds back the tears through the ceremony and burial but as the mourners return to their lives, Hilda is left alone at No.13 and breaks down while looking through Stan's effects sent by the hospital. Stan and Hilda were married for 41 years.
