December 10th 2024.
It's the most wonderful time of the year - Christmas! As we all know, this means our TV schedules will once again be thrown into chaos. But don't worry, we've got you covered with all the information you need to know about when your favorite soaps will be airing.
Both the BBC and ITV have a lot in store for us this Christmas, with a jam-packed television menu. We can look forward to the highly anticipated finale of Gavin and Stacey, the return of 80s game show Bullseye, and a new installment of the beloved animated series Wallace & Gromit. But this also means that some of our favorite soaps, like Coronation Street, Emmerdale, and EastEnders, will be airing at different times - with some, like Neighbours, not airing at all. And while there will be a special edition of Casualty, it won't be airing on the big day.
But don't worry, we've got all the inside scoop on when you can tune in. Consider it an early Christmas present from us!
Let's start with Coronation Street. On Christmas Eve, we can expect a shorter, half an hour episode at the later time of 8:45pm. But don't worry, we'll be treated to a full hour on Christmas Day at 7pm. Unfortunately, there won't be an episode on Boxing Day, as ITV will be airing The Masked Singer instead. But what can we expect to see happening in Weatherfield this Christmas?
Well, it's going to be an emotional day as the residents say goodbye to Gail Rodwell after 50 years on the show. She looks set to tie the knot with her boyfriend Jesse Chadwick on Christmas Day, but we all know there will be some hurdles along the way. And to add to the drama, Brian Capron will be reprising his role as Richard Hillman - despite his character meeting a watery end 21 years ago. What part will he play in the celebrations? We'll have to tune in to find out.
Meanwhile, Shona and David Platt's marriage is on the rocks after his deceit concerning her son Clayton's visiting orders and her affair with Kit Green. Producer Kate Brooks teased that "Shona hits that self-destruct behavior!" We'll also see Leanne Battersby seeking revenge, Carla Connor and Lisa Swain's relationship being revealed to the locals, and Daniel Osbourne popping the question to Bethany Platt - but struggling with his feelings for his ex-fiancée Daisy Midgley.
Moving on to Emmerdale, we'll be taking a half-hour trip to the village at 7pm on Christmas Eve. This trend continues on Christmas Day, but at the slightly earlier time of 6:30pm. And unlike Coronation Street, there will be an episode on Boxing Day at 6:30pm. So what can we expect from the Dales this Christmas?
Well, there will be drama at Home Farm between Kim Tate and her husband Will Taylor as they prepare to renew their vows. But will Kim discover that Will is secretly working to bring her down? Also, Belle King is set for a happier year after a turbulent time with her abusive husband Tom. And after being reunited with her beloved dog Piper, who she thought was dead, there won't be a dry eye in the house.
Now, onto EastEnders. It has been confirmed that there will be an extended 45-minute episode on Christmas Eve at 7:30pm on BBC One. On Christmas Day, the soap will be returning to its tradition of airing two separate episodes, much to the delight of some fans and disappointment of others. The first episode will air at 7:25pm, with the second following two and a half hours later at 10:30pm. And on Boxing Day, we'll see the fallout from Albert Square at 8:30pm.
So what can we expect from the residents of Walford this Christmas? Well, it looks like the Knight and Beale families will be torn apart when it's revealed that Cindy has been having an affair with Junior. And, as always, things will get messy when the truth comes out in typical Walford fashion. Plus, Denise Fox will be getting an unexpected Christmas present from an unlikely source, and ghosts from the past will be making an appearance to haunt Albert Square.
We can't wait to see what happens in all of our favorite soaps this Christmas. We hope you'll join us in front of the TV with a cup of hot cocoa and some mince pies for some festive soap drama. Happy holidays!
