It's all-change with the ITV soap schedules!
Published Wednesday, Jul 8 2009, 14:40 BST | By Kris Green | 20 comments
ITV has this afternoon unveiled a brand new look to its weekly soap schedules from July 23.
The decision has finally been made to axe Tuesday's hour-long edition of Emmerdale (hurrah!) but instead of reducing the Yorkshire soap's output by an episode, there's a double bill on a Thursday night at 7pm and 8pm.
Coronation Street's Wednesday evening episode has been shunted to Thursdays at 8.30pm, leading nicely into the new, post-watershed episodes of The Bill.
So here's how the soap week will now look:
Monday
6.30pm - Hollyoaks (30 mins)
7.00pm - Emmerdale (30 mins)
7.30pm - Coronation Street (30 mins)
8.00pm - EastEnders (30 mins)
8.30pm - Coronation Street (30 mins)
Tuesday
6.30pm - Hollyoaks (30 mins)
7.00pm - Emmerdale (30 mins)
7.30pm - EastEnders (30 mins)
Wednesday
6.30pm - Hollyoaks (30 mins)
7.00pm - Emmerdale (30 mins)
Thursday
6.30pm - Hollyoaks (30 mins)
7.00pm - Emmerdale (30 mins)
7.30pm - EastEnders (30 mins)
8.00pm - Emmerdale (30 mins)
8.30pm - Coronation Street (30 mins)
9.00pm - The Bill (60 mins)
Friday
6.30pm - Hollyoaks (30 mins)
7.00pm - Emmerdale (30 mins)
7.30pm - Coronation Street (30 mins)
8.00pm - EastEnders (30 mins)
8.30pm - Coronation Street (30 mins)
For the first week only, The Bill will air on Thursday and Friday (July 23 and 24) at 9pm to launch the refreshed image.
