Oh yes! ITV putting Emmerdale there backfired on them as some here predicted it would due to EastEnders just moving completely.

And what a final scene to end on. Would have viewers intrigued enough to return to EastEnders on Thursday in large numbers?

That was a pleasant surprise. A great rating which I hoped EastEnders would get for a great episode and lots of promotion but expected lower. Yorkie I was just as pessimistic especially after Monday's rating. As Marky said moving it out of Emmerdale's path was very wise. The reason why moves didn't work in the past was because it wasn't promoted well and because EastEnders either wasn't good then or more recently people didn't think it improved so didn't bother.
Here's a bit more ratings info.

Fantastic for both EE and HV. Both where great television viewing yestaday.
Emmerdale as well as EastEnders had a boost, look at the EastEnders BBC3 figure as well! Not clashing was a benefit to both. And Neighbours doing really well at the moment too.
EastEnders boosted by Lucy's funeral in Tuesday ratings
EastEnders enjoyed its highest figure of the month so far with its hour-long special on Tuesday evening (May 20), overnight figures show.
The Walford soap pulled in 7.96m (36.6%) at 8pm on BBC One as Max's secret fling with Lucy was exposed on the day of her funeral. BBC Three's repeat screening also performed well, securing 525k (4.6%) at 10.30pm.
The rating was EastEnders' highest since the immediate aftermath of Lucy's death on April 22.
Emmerdale also achieved its best figure of the month so far, attracting 6.14m (32.5%) at 7pm on ITV and 107k (0.5%) on +1 as Charity schemed to fake a miscarriage in an hour-long episode.
Hollyoaks interested 887k (5.4%) at 6.30pm on Channel 4 as Joe and Sandy uncovered Sinead's deception, while E4's first look followed with 774k (4.2%) at 7pm and 113k (0.5%) on +1.
Over on Channel 5, Neighbours bagged its best lunchtime rating since February 24 as 714k (11.1%) tuned in at 1.45pm, while 811k (6.5%) caught the latest visit to Ramsay Street at 5.30pm.
Elsewhere, BBC One's Doctors continued with 1.35m (21.2%) at 1.45pm.

Really great rating for EastEnders, given the ending and the weather taking a turn for the worst, I can see another strong rating on Thursday.
I wonder if the boost will help it hold up better against BGT next week, or the clashes will kill off any momentum it would have gotten from this week.

You big pessimist you!I was bang on with my 8m hope/prediction. Really glad it got a good rating, it deserved it as I said before for an emotional episode that hit all the right notes for me.

Thanks!Can someone please inform me of the latest grim twist to Happy Valley? Brilliant performance again. I cautiously asked about the violence/grim-rating after ep 1, was advised the kidnapping was violent and a bit grim but not terrible, but just as I was about to get into that, another ep aired (was it ep3?) which was supposedly much worse with some sort of car graphically running over someone then reversing back over them.
So I gave up watching the whole thing (BBC scarred me with Jenny Faulkener's Spooks S1 E2 head-in-chip-fat death!) but am shocked and impressed at its appeal and acclaim especially in the Tues 9pm slot for a first-run series. I feel like I'm missing out on this year's 'Broadchurch' but I'm just such a wimp sometimes. 
But out of intrigue, I'd like to read about the levels of violence/gritty depiction, as well as if the violence/gore is justified/excused by the viewer due to the overall high quality of the show? if only for my own research — it's actually very interesting to think what effect these shows have on some people psychologically. Not in a bad way, just in ... a way. If that makes sense. 
Glad to see ITV have created a (very exciting) trailer for Who Kills Tina week in Corrie. I should think it'll pull somewhere between 8.2-9.2million on average across the week, peaking at perhaps just over 10m (10.1m?) for the 'push' scene on Tues. The BGT effect as well as the Michelle Keegan effect will definitely pull in higher figures than last year's IMO!

Great for Eastenders 8pm and BBC 3, GREAT move from BBC!
I think it will hold up really well, EE is much better place this year then it was last year
How did it do last year at 7:30?

Last year (BGT week) for EE
No EE on Monday
Tuesday 5.77m (25.2%)
Weds 6.5m (31.4%)
Thursday 5.24m (24.0%)
Friday 4.71m (23.1%)
Corrie 9pm week 2013
Sunday 7.3 (32.4%)
Monday 9.5 (36.2%)
Tuesday 8.7 (33.5%)
Thursday 8.55 (36.1%)
Friday 8.45m (36.7%)
I wonder whether it was boosted because of the promo or because of the hour long at 8pm. Maybe it might be a good test for BBC to try moving the Friday episode to an hour long on Tuesdays at 8pm, with Holby City on Wednesday or Thursday. Although Tuesday 9pm is traditionally a drama slot, they could couple EE with Great British Bake Off in Autumn. They should clean up between 8-10pm on Tuesdays with that schedule!

I've always thought that one of the reasons EastEnders has been down in recent years, apart from poor quality, has been poor scheduling. Leaving it to clash with Emmerdale on Tuesdays never helped it. Also the general BBC1 schedule can never give it a boost the way ITV's can boost Coronation Street with a BGT/I'm A Celebrity week.
Also the programme is better now so I think people are more likely to follow it around the schedule than before.

EastEnders was promoted as a big week, that along with a later start and some poor weather helped. It also shows that there is a chance for a larger audience on Tuesdays at 8pm than Holby City delivers. I have said for months that Holby is underperforming there.
Happy Valley up again to 5.8m on BBC
Happy Valley rose again in the ratings to top Tuesday night outside of soaps, overnight data reveals.
The BBC One drama was up to 5.8 million (26.7%) at 9pm. Earlier, A Question of Sport quizzed 3.2m (16.2%) at 7.30pm.
On BBC Two, Great British Menu brought in 1.6m (8.0%) at 7.30pm, followed by coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show with 2.7m (12.5%) at 8pm. Watermen appealed to 1.7m (7.7%) at 9pm.
ITV's repeat of Endeavour was seen by 2.0m (9.0%) at 8pm (248,000/1.3% on +1).
On Channel 4, Embarrassing Bodies attracted 898k (4.2%) at 8pm (187k/0.9%). Mr Drew's School for Boys gathered 1.3m (5.9%) at 9pm (273k/1.8%), followed by 16 Kids and Counting with 755k (5.0%) at 10pm (116k/1.5%).
Ben Fogle's Animal Clinic brought in 599k (2.8%) at 8pm, followed by Behind Closed Doors with 874k (4.0%) at 9pm (167k/1.1%). The Mentalist thrilled 927k (5.8%) at 10pm (105k/1.3%).
BBC Three's The Call Centre continued with 850k (3.9%) at 9pm. Sweat the Small Stuff entertained 458k (2.6%) at 10pm.
On MTV, Ex on the Beach attracted 256k (1.6%) at 9pm.

I think EastEnders on Tuesdays 20:00-21:00, Bake Off on Wednesdays 20:00-21:00 and Holby on Thursdays 20:00-21:00 could work. But removing EE from Fridays raises the question of what would go in the 20:00 Friday slot, as ITV would be sure to try harder there (and they've already all but given up on Tuesdays, so a very strong evening for BBC One would just become stronger still. )
EDIT: Actually, clashing Holby with Emmerdale is probably not a great idea. That Thursday 20:00 slot lends itself to things like Supermarket Secrets, I think.
Thinking aloud
Tue 20:00 - EE (1 hr)
Wed 20:00 - Bake Off (in autumn), Watchdog
Thu 20:00 - Popular factual, e.g. SS, £1 Shop Wars
Fri 20:00 - Fac-ent, e.g. MasterChef: the Professionals (Samuel's idea, I'm struggling to think of other examples)
Holby sent to die, half-clashing with Corrie and against Lord knows what at 20:00 on ITV, also Holby is arguably too close to Casualty. Tricky.

Some people keep suggesting that EastEnders should stop being on Friday. That is a nonsense idea as it still gets BBC1's highest ratings on the day. And 4 episodes don't dominate the weekdays the way 6 episodes of Emmerdale and 5 episodes of Coronation Street do.

So which day does Holby go to in this schedule?

It wont if it follows EastEnders and starts same time as Emmerdale.
If The BBC removes EastEnders From Friday then the only slot I'd want is Wednesday at 8 i dont want any doubles/Hours unless one off's and for Special Storylines. I'd rather stick to Friday.
ITV helped the BBC last night. In 2 weeks time i'd do the same with EastEnders at 8 (Or 8:30 Promoted)

Has Holby ever beaten Emmerdale in a head to head? I don't think it has. Can't remember fully. Holby has an easier slot on Tuesday following EastEnders and still can't get 5m, I wouldn't rate its chances against Emmerdale. If EastEnders can keep up the standard, Friday episodes will go up. No way that is moving for now....if ever.

Ok I will give you a rundown
Spoiler
I have been thinking about the violence in this and wondering why its seems so much more graphic than some other series when in reality it probably is not or is it?
Superb rating for Happy Valley - very well deserved. Tuesday is basically just the BBC's night now. Other than Emmerdale ITV don't seem to turn up. Anything they put their is below 3million.
At the moment they seem incapable of scheduling programmes in good slots.
The only thing that does vaguely well is Love Your Garden. This has the potential to grow if put in the right slot. Sunday at 8pm it could do quite well.

ITV look set to get more competitive on Tuesdays from Autumn 2015 when they no longer have to broadcast Champions League matches. They say they will put more original productions there. I would argue the most vulnerable BBC1 programme there would be Holby City.
