- Viewers expressed frustration on social media about the soap being taken off air and urged ITV to place football on a sports channel instead.
- ITV plans a ‘soap power hour’ with 30-minute episodes of Emmerdale followed by Coronation Street on weeknights, aiming for a consistent and viewer-led format.
- Emmerdale will return to its regular 7:30pm slot on July 24, and a larger schedule revamp affecting major soaps will come into effect in 2026.
