There's some schedule changes on the way for the soaps next week, so here's a quick guide to make sure you don't miss your favourites.

On Thursday, February 16, Emmerdale won't air its usual double bill, but will instead be screened as an hour-long episode from 7pm. The episode, which features a massive stunt, will therefore have a 30-minute clash with EastEnders.

Later that evening, there will be no 8.30pm screening of Coronation Street due to football coverage on ITV1. Corrie returns with its usual Friday night double bill on February 17, and there'll be an extra episode on Sunday, February 19 at 8pm to make up for it.

Over on Channel 5, the teatime screenings of Neighbours and Home and Away won't be airing on February 16 either - again due to football. Instead, on February 17, there'll be a Neighbours double bill from 5pm and a Home and Away double bill from 6pm.

Channel 5's lunchtime airings of the Australian soaps are unaffected. The 5* screenings of Home and Away and Neighbours will also air as normal, except that on February 17, the Home and Away first look is pushed back to 7pm and the Neighbours repeat is on at 7.25pm.
