Emmerdale and Coronation Street fans will have to wait until next week to watch the soaps after the two shows have been taken off air on ITV due to Rugby World Cup 2023 coverage
Soap fans are set to be disappointed tonight as they’ll be forced to miss out on their final dose of Emmerdale and Coronation Street drama this week.
On Friday night, the two soaps will not air on ITV as usual due to a last-minute TV scheduling shake-up. The broadcaster has removed the shows to make way for the Rugby World Cup 2023 as France and New Zealand go head to head on the pitch, with the match starting at 6:45pm on ITV1.
Viewers will need to tune into the television next week as the schedule returns to normal. This week, fans were treated to an hour-long episode of Coronation Street on Thursday, September 7, and a full hour of Emmerdale on Tuesday, September 5.
In exciting episodes due to air on Coronation Street next week, tragedy strikes the cobbles as Stu Carpenter finds himself arrested. The scene takes place after he comes to blows with Eliza’s estranged dad Dom and after the youngster is hit by a car on the road.
