Coronation Street and Emmerdale will not air for the rest of this week because of UEFA Nations League coverage on ITV, with both soaps returning on Monday, November 16.
Why the soaps are off air
The UEFA Nations League airs tonight, and the Nations Championship is broadcast tomorrow, meaning Coronation Street and Emmerdale are dropped from the schedule for the remainder of the week. This is the latest in a year of schedule changes caused by football, including the World Cup, the Carabao Cup and the UEFA Nations League, which have seen the soaps shunted around, with missing weekday episodes and occasional double-ups and Sunday specials.
When the soaps return
Coronation Street will next air on Monday, November 16, with the next visit to Weatherfield. Emmerdale will also return on Monday, November 16, with the village favourites back on screens.
What to expect next week
On the cobbles, David and Shona Platt (Jack P Shepherd and Julia Goulding) learn from DS Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) that a car has been found with traces of Jodie Ramsey's (Olivia Frances-Brown) blood inside. Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) grows annoyed at the Platts assuming he is the father of Bethany Platt's (Lucy Fallon) baby, while Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) remains determined to protect Lucy (Anya Dewin).
In Yorkshire, Caleb Miligan (William Ash) is forced to pretend to be Sadie King's (Patsy Kensit) partner, and Sadie kisses him, leaving him in a panic when he realises someone saw their interaction. Kim Tate (Claire King) deals with Thea Ramsden's (Chelsea Edge) quest to track down Steve Marchant (Paul Opacic), and Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) has a meeting with a liaison officer ahead of Tom King's (James Chase) release.
