    Thank you :) I think ITV will put an hour long corrie on the Sunday (19th) as seen as there are only two episodes so far.

    Why cant they give the production teams a breather?

    Is it vital the soaps are still transmitted during this period?

    A few months down the line, you'll see a post saying how crap Soap X has got.

    A short transmission / production break may have solved the problem.

    Doctors had the right idea.

    Update - No EastEnders on Monday 20 June which is odd as BBC doesnt have any footie that night

    That is why. Makes no sense to put EE on against 15m+ watching England as EE would be annihilated.

    They could have found something a bit better than DIY SOS though? A classic episode of EE or a documentary?

    Really think the soaps should all go off air until after the Olympics, or cut down to two or three a week for the period. Trying to cram them in around summer sport is madness and annoying for fans. The other option would be go out in their normal slots on Watch and ITV2 giving that everybody has them now?

    As much as I love the soaps I agree they should go on a break while all this sport is on! It's very confusing as to what is on when think I will set them all to record as of next week

    Didn't Corrie and Emmerdale suffer pretty significant losses at both the 2012 and 2008 olympics?

    I agree about it being confusing, I expect the ratings for the hour long Tuesday Corrie to be lower as people will forget that it's on, and also this Sunday's Emmerdale I think will rate quite low too as Emmerdale hardly ever have Sunday eps whereas Corrie have them now and again.
    marke09, sorry to be a nuisance but have the schedules been confirmed for the week commencing Sunday 19 June? :D Thanks :)

    But If they went off air completely, what would they put on on days where there is no sport in the soap slot? :confused:

    It's messy already! I think the ITV scheduling isn't very good, why the 6 episodes of Corrie crammed into three days, but just half of the usual Emmerdale episodes? I know that they will all be made up eventually but I don't think the one hour Corrie on Tuesday was necessary after the 1 hour Sunday and two episodes on Monday, talk about overkill!

    Emmerdale is the second class citizen of itv :(

    What about the Casualty times? I know it airs this Saturday night as usual, (plus it doesn't have a fixed slot), but are there any Sunday episodes.

    IMO, most if not all if the English soaps are dry at the moment; therefore changes to the soap schedule including less episodes would be welcomed by me this summer
