There have been plenty of changes to the Emmerdale schedule and tonight (Monday January 5) is no different as the soap is moving time slots again, meaning it is not on at 7.30pm as usual – so when is it on tonight?
Football, rubgy and other special shows often affect the soaps, but tonight it’s all because of the highly anticipated Corriedale crossover. So, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered here so you know when Emmerdale is off and when it’s back again this week.
When is Emmerdale airing tonight?
Emmerdale will be on tonight at an earlier time slot of 7pm. It will be followed with a half hour episode of Coronation Street. Then at 8pm, Corriedale will take place.
There is also the early morning release on ITVX and YouTube where it is available everyday from 7am. But tonight, only Emmerdale’s first episode is available to watch early.
After Corriedale, there is a behind-the-scenes 30-minute special of the historic soap event on ITV3. So that’s a huge 2 and a half hours of soap scenes for fans!
What happens in Emmerdale tonight?
Tonight, April returns to her family after running from Ray.
After months of suffering in silence, April finally finds the courage to share her story. Gathering Marlon, Rhona, Mary, Bob and Dylan together, April reveals the full extent of the horrors she endured at the hands of Celia and Ray.
April is adamant she wants to go to the police, but her family are understandably anxious.
Elsewhere, Mack continues to deal with the fall-out of Vanessa’s words. But when his anger takes over, two worlds collide.
With all of the storylines merging in catastrophic fashion, Corriedale picks up and a lot of lives will never be the same again. And it’s safe to say, the aftermath will continue for quite some time.
