ITV is to give Crossroads an Autumn break before relaunching it in December.
The network recently re-commissioned the show, despite ratings falling to just 3m as of late.
The last episode in the current run will go out on August 30, and production of a further 240 episodes will begin in October, for transmission starting December.
A Carlton spokesman told Ananova: "We have great plans for Crossroads to make it a must-see daytime show. It's going to be back bigger and better than ever."
