CS & ED Viewers: Would You Like Sunday Episodes To Return?
I can't do a poll because I haven't been a member for long enough, but It got me thinking last week when I saw that both Corrie & Emmerdale have an episode next Sunday (19 June) due to Euro 2016 matches. Corrie occasionally does Sunday episodes to make up for lost ones during the week, but Emmerdale hasn't had a Sunday episode in years. Personally, I would like it If Emmerdale axed the 8pm Thursday episode and replaced it with a Sunday one (the original schedule) so that it's 7pm every night Sun - Fri, and for Corrie to move one of the 8:30pm episodes (either Monday or Friday) to Sunday too.
I think it would be a good way to freshen up the soaps so to speak, as on Sunday's characters can be shown not at work, doing other activities etc. I don't know why they axed the Sunday episodes in 2008, but would you like to see CS & ED on Sundays again? |

Absolutely would love to see them back. Not only that but a shake up to the schedules in general for CS - drop the 8.30 episodes on a Monday and Friday and ideally drop the number of episodes down to 3 or 4 - if you're going to three cut the Friday episode and move the Wednesday to Thursday so either.
Monday 7.30pm Wednesday 7.30pm Friday 7.30pm and Sunday 7.30pm or Monday 7.30pm Thursday 7.30pm Sunday 7.30pm |

Monday 7.30pm Wednesday 7.30pm Friday 7.30pm and Sunday 7.30pm or Monday 7.30pm Thursday 7.30pm Sunday 7.30pm (Like Emmerdale)

True, but I meant episodes that are set on Sundays so that we can see the characters in different settings, not at work for example (It might help to freshen up storyline options) I remember when there was the cricket match with Weatherfield against another team, that was done on a Sunday, and was something different. Also, It would get rid of one of the double bills, two doses of corrie twice a week is too much imo, especially given the current state it's in.
100 percent yes, I'm shocked Stuart Blackburn didn't want to carry that on seeing as his goal was to present he mundane life of the residents. |

No - I'd sooner see Corrie go back to three times a week in its traditional slots. Fat chance of that.

I'd love to see ED Sunday episode come back.
I also would like a full hour for one episode - much more enjoyable. |

CS in its current state needs to cut an episode or two if anything, not add.

No as an Emmerdale fan I think we are privileged to be able to watch it 5 days a week, that's more than enough. Because I watch four over soaps too, I don't get much time to watch much else not that I'm complaining much

No. Actually, I think that Emmerdale could do with reducing the quantity of episodes per week, as the quality clears suffers. Personally, I would get rid of the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday episodes.

For me: Corrie should be on Sun, Mon, Wed and Fri at 7:30, and Thurs at 8pm. Emmerdale should be on Sun - Fri at 7pm. ITV originally moved the soaps from Sunday to create more entertainment shows. Shows like Dancing on Ice, Family Fortunes and Catchphrase have been shown on Sundays, but none of these shows get the ratings like the soaps. |

No major soap requires more than four episodes a week, IMO.
Emmerdale - 7pm Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday Corrie - 7.30pm Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday EastEnders - 8pm Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday No clashes, same times, same days every week. Then on Fridays and Saturdays we could have something different. I don't like the total domination of soaps during the week between 7 and 9. The above schedule would break it all up a bit. |

Anything but the doubles. I still wish they were both stripped across a five day week.

But Sunday nights are so poor now, Dancing On Ice has gone, so they have room to bring them back.

I still remember the ITV trailer from 20 years ago "Corrie's now on Sundays!" All i remember was seeing Mavis in a posh hotel jacuzzi
![]() I do miss watching it on a Sunday, in the cozy 7:30 slot before Heartbeat. The Friday 8:30 episode feels so wrong. It's the lowest rated episode of the week. |
