The actor, who has played David Platt since 2000, was speaking to Digital Spy at the British Soap Awards 2025 when he was asked if he would be part of the special episode.
"I don't know!" Shepherd admitted. "I don't know if I am. Not for a fact, I don't."
This will see Corrie and Emmerdale move to 30 minute slots for a power hour starting at 8pm from Monday to Friday.
The broadcaster revealed that the episode will feature an 'ambitious stunt', and that 'the consequences of the high-stakes drama will have repercussions for both communities and see them linked forever'.
David has had a quieter time on the cobbles of late, since the threats looming over him from gangster Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor) were finally brought to an end.
Laughing, the actor teased: "With my Yorkshire accent. I think I'm in it, talking Yorkshire and they're like: 'Where are you from? Are you from Bradford?'"
"Maybe I'll take David the dog. I'll take David the dog to the vets. Paddy could help me out, that'd be good – Dominic!"
