Coronation Street and Emmerdale: Returning to six episodes

Last month, the channel confirmed both Corrie and Emmerdale will return to six episodes per week from mid-September, after reducing output when the coronavirus pandemic first began.

ITV said in a statement: “We’re very pleased to announce that Coronation Street and Emmerdale will resume airing the normal pattern of six episodes each week from mid-September.”

The channel also praised the soaps’ bosses for their “incredible work”.
