Why is Coronation Street on tonight?

Following the passing of the monarch, all television channels changed their viewing schedules.

Episodes of both Coronation Street and Emmerdale were dropped from ITV. Meanwhile, the BBC moved EastEnders to BBC Two.

Now, the soaps are playing catch up to get back on track.

Originally the National Television Awards were slated to be broadcast live tonight. However, the decision was taken earlier this week to postpone the ceremony.

In a tweet posted to their official account, it was announced it would now take place on Thursday October 13 instead.

That left ITV needing to fill their schedule – and with soaps needing a home, we’ve got an extravaganza of them tonight!

Airing first on ITV is Emmerdale, which will be on from 7.30pm for an hour and a half. They are showing three episodes that originally should have aired on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.

Coronation Street then takes over at 9pm.
