Coronation Street and Emmerdale fans are eager to know what’s been going on with the character’s of the popular evening dramas. However, they will have to wait a little longer for the updates as both the ITV soaps are replaced this evening.
The last time viewers were treated to drama from Weatherfield was Wednesday and with the soap set to return to it’s usual time slot this week, it means fans have had to wait seven days for their next dose of the action.
Luckily for followers of the show’s rival soap, they last got their glimpse of the action from the ever-dramatic villager on Thursday, with the storyline continuing to play out from tomorrow night.
This means both editions of the hugely popular soaps have been missing from schedules for four consecutive nights.
Sports fans may be little more enthused by the break from the fictional dramas as the time slots have been filled by coverage of England facing their opponents in the UEFA 2020 qualifiers.
