Attention all soap fans! Emmerdale and Coronation Street are facing some schedule changes, but don't worry, it's for a good reason. With the Olympics taking over the TV schedules, ITV bosses have decided to give us a special treat by making sure we don't miss out on any of the sporting action. That's right, our beloved soaps will still be airing, but with a slight twist.
Starting next week, both Emmerdale and Corrie will be dropping early on ITVX, so you can catch up on all the drama while sipping your morning coffee. No need to switch over to BBC for the Olympics, you can now stream new episodes of your favorite shows at 7am on the platform. How convenient is that?
But wait, before you get too excited, let's not forget the golden rule of soap-watching: no spoilers! The official Instagram pages for both shows have reminded fans to keep the online world a spoiler-free zone for those who prefer to watch in the evening. So, let's be considerate of our fellow soap lovers and keep those plot twists to ourselves.
Don't worry, though, both Emmerdale and Coronation Street will still air at their usual time slots on ITV1. So, you can still tune in every weeknight at 7:30pm for Emmerdale and 8pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for Corrie. But for those who can't wait, ITVX has got you covered.
This isn't the first time soap bosses have made changes to accommodate a major event. Earlier this summer, during the Euros, both shows were frequently moved around the schedules to make room for coverage of the matches. But hey, at least we got to watch our soaps first on ITVX, right?
Unfortunately, not all soaps were so lucky. EastEnders fans will have to adjust their viewing routine, as the show has been bumped out of its usual BBC One slot. Instead, it will now be airing on BBC Two at 7:30pm from Monday to Thursday for the duration of the Games. But don't worry, you can still catch up on all the drama by streaming each episode on BBC iPlayer from 6am every day.
