Coronation Street and Emmerdale schedule in more Sunday episodes – but there's a catch

Coronation Street and Emmerdale have more Sunday episodes on the way – but there's a while to wait.

New schedules have just been released for the end of November. These reveal that the ITV soaps will once again be making up for missed airings with special weekend editions.

Both shows have faced severe scheduling disruption this year, complicating the new 8pm "power hour" transmission pattern.

There were no new episodes yesterday due to football coverage, while they also remain off air tonight due to a rugby union game.

However, the latest schedules show that Emmerdale airs at 8pm on Sunday 29 November, followed by Coronation Street at 8.30pm.

"It's a while away, but TV schedules are confirmed earlier than usual in the build-up to Christmas," explains our soap source.

"When episodes are moved for football or other sporting events, the Sunday editions help the transmission pattern to get back on track."

In even better news, the next few weeks will see Corrie and Emmerdale air reliably in their five-nights format.

The only confirmed disruption ahead is on Tuesday 24 November, when Emmerdale airs later than usual at 8.15pm, followed by Coronation Street at 8.45pm.

Aside from that, the shows will be fixed in the 8pm hour on weeknights in the coming weeks, providing a lead-in to the new series of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, which will be airing at 9pm.

Next week on Corrie, concerns grow for Jodie Ramsey's safety when DS Lisa Connor-Swain breaks some worrying news to the Platts.

"Lisa tells David and Shona that police have found an abandoned car with traces of Jodie's blood in the boot," our Corrie insider recently explained.

"Shona is devastated and full of remorse. If she hadn't cut ties with her sister all those years ago, maybe Jodie wouldn't have turned into such a wrong'un. Now she might never get the chance to make it right between them…"

Meanwhile, over on Emmerdale, Sam Dingle makes a decision he may live to regret when he visits Tom King in prison and tries to strike a deal to help his struggling son Samson.
