Emmerdale fans divided as soap returns to 7pm slot
Earlier this year, the soap moved from airing at 7pm Monday to Friday to 7.30pm to extend the news.
However this week the soap has gone back to 7pm with Coronation Street airing at 7.30pm for half an hour every week night.
But some viewers are demanding the soap returns to the 7pm slot as they prefer it.
