I think close to 8 million on Tuesday could be possible. I'd expect Tuesdays Hour to be the highest of the week.

The Weather is on Emmerdales side. Some parts could see some Thunder according to BBC news at 6 (It's dull here tonight)

Yep. Promotion across ITV chat shows,The Press and of course the trailer.The Bad press it has had regarding the events in Glasgow will help (See EastEnders Baby Swap and high ratings bump after complaints) Emmerdale will hit 7 million at some point this week easily.
