Corrie, Emmerdale and EastEnders cancelled in huge schedule shake-up
Soap fans will be left disappointed tonight and tomorrow night, as all three major soaps have been taken off air in a huge schedule shake-up.
Viewers are normally treated to an hour long episode of Emmerdale on Thursdays, along with a 30 minute trip to Albert Square with EastEnders. However, tonight all soaps have been taken off air. It's bad news for Coronation Street fans too, as although the soap doesn't usually air on Thursdays, it'll be taken off air on Friday night (July 3).
EastEnders fans got their two hour dose of the soap earlier in the week as they were treated to a double bill on both Monday and Tuesday. Many eager fans took to iPlayer to watch the soap early, while those tuning in at 7pm had to switch over to BBC Two.
The change is down to a summer of sports, with Wimbledon taking over the BBC schedules for two weeks. However, it's not the only sport taking over, as the BBC are also showing coverage of the Women's Euros as the football teams battle it out in the group stages.
ITV will also be hosting the coverage of a number of Euros games. Tomorrow night, they'll be broadcasting live from Sweden as Portugal take on Spain.
On Friday, they'll be showing coverage of Germany's match against Poland, meaning Corrie fans will have to wait until next week until their next trip to Weatherfield.
Unfortunately, it's a longer wait than normal as soaps won't be back on air until next Wednesday. It's good news for EastEnders fans however, as they'll be treated to a double bill once again when Wednesday finally comes.
Emmerdale fans will have one less day to wait, as the soap will return at 7.30 next Tuesday (July 8). Corrie fans will have one extra day to wait, as the usual Monday episode will be cancelled due to more football on the schedule.
However, their regular hour-long trip to Weatherfield will resume on Wednesday at 7.30.
The schedule shake-ups aren't the only huge change for the ITV soaps. On Monday (June 30) ITV started releasing full episodes of both shows on YouTube at 6am, as well as ITVX.
The official Coronation Street Instagram page announced: "Soap fans, rejoice!
"Starting tomorrow, full episodes will be available on YouTube from 7am — the same day they air on TV!" The update included an image showing Emmerdale and Corrie characters posing beneath logos of their respective soaps.

Danny Dyer and Louis Tomlinson among famous faces at Oasis' Cardiff comeback
Friday, July 4, 2025, will go down as one of the biggest nights in British music history as Oasis graced a live stage for the first time in 16 years. The Mancunian Britpop heroes formed in Burnage in the early 1990s and quickly became—for better or worse—the defining band of their generation. But singer-songwriter brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher had a famously frosty relationship, and the band shockingly split when Noel quit in August 2009. After waging a cold war in the press for more than a decade, the two siblings kissed and made up in 2024 and announced a string of live dates for summer 2025. The Oasis Live 25 Tour kicked off in Cardiff on Friday night, with the 75,000 tickets sold at the Principality Stadium among the hottest in the world right now. But it's not just regular folks who've descended on the Welsh capital for a bit of the action—half a dozen famous faces have been spotted in the crowd as well. 📝| 'Louis is a huge Oasis fan and has been extremely open about failing to secure tickets in the queue. He's said to have found himself on tonight's guestlist, which promises to be one of the most exciting concerts in music history.'— The Mirror can reveal that the cheeky… — World Tomlinson (@LouisWT91World) July 4, 2025 The first to pop up was This Is England actress Vicky McClure, who joined the BBC's live coverage of the build-up to the Oasis gig and then went to grab a spot in the crowd. From the BBC itself, Radio 2 host Vernon Kay popped along, despite being called a 'lanky b*****d' by Liam Gallagher himself during a tense meeting between the two years ago. And MailOnline photographers spotted Gavin & Stacey star Rob Brydon in the crowd, with the Welsh actor not having to go too far from home to see his musical heroes. But stealing the headlines were none other than actor Danny Dyer, who was spotted in Cardiff earlier on Friday, and former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson. Danny opted for dark sunglasses and a moustache to keep his identity a secret, but fans still managed to spot him walking along a road near the stadium. He was seen wearing a smart casual navy blue jacket as he walked alongside a friend (or bodyguard), with hundreds of onlookers none the wiser. And reports in The Mirror earlier today speculated that Walls hitmaker and Oasis superfan Louis had managed to secure himself a spot on the guest list. Louis had apparently tried and failed, along with thousands of others, to get his hands on those prized tickets earlier last year when they went on sale. He said at the time: 'I didn't [get tickets]. I was in the queue, but I never got a number. I did try. I did try. I have my fingers crossed.' Fellow musician Serge Pizzorno—of the Leicester-based rock band Kasabian—was also apparently spotted by reports, with Kasabian owing a lot to the Manchester band. Everton FC's manager, Sean Dyche, also sat on the BBC's sofa outside the Principality Stadium before taking his place among the thousands witnessing history. And it seems he set a bit of a trend, as fellow Premier League boss Nuno Espirito Santo, in charge at Nottingham Forest, was also rumoured by The Sun to be in attendance on Friday. At the gig, Oasis rolled back the years by playing some of their biggest hits, with some fans in Cardiff reckoning Liam sounded 'biblical' and better than ever. @ShaneRyanOneil exclaimed: 'Liam hasn't sounded this good in years. Biblical,' while @Jahvasconcelos said: 'Liam's voice sounds absolutely BIBLICAL. Unbeliveable.' More Trending The two brothers held hands as they walked onto the stage in Cardiff, with their gesture being greeted by huge cheers from the over 70,000-strong crowd. Bang on 8:15pm, Noel and Liam launched into their tune Hello, which opened their second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? all those years ago. After this, they went into Acquiesce – which originally appeared as the B-side to Oasis' first number-one single Some Might Say, in 1995. The words 'This is not a drill' appeared on the screen in giant letters, with the crowd—decked out in Mancunian bucket hats, sunglasses, and Oasis merch—sending cups flying by jumping in the air.

Danny Dyer and Vicky McClure lead the way as Oasis reunite after 16 years
A string of famous faces have been spotted at Oasis' first reunion gig in Cardiff, the first time the brothers have been seen together on stage in 16 years A string of famous faces are in the crowds as Oasis reunites after 16 years. Tonight's gig in Cardiff marks over a decade since Noel and Liam Gallagher performed with one another. The band were seen walking to the stage with their song 'F**king in the Bushes' before they then started performing their song 'Hello'. The crowd welcomed them with cheers at the sold out gig. In the audience was the likes of EastEnders star Danny Dyer as well as Line Of Duty actress Vicky McClure. Vernon Kay also posed for pictures outside Principality Stadium. "Hey, beautiful people, it's been too long," Liam told the crowd, which has also included the likes of Glastonbury founder Emily Eavis as well as Dominic Mohan and Andy Goldstein. Click here for the Mirror's live updates on the Oasis tour. Meg Mathews - Noel's ex-wife - was also spotted at the gig, The Mirror can exclusively reveal. Noel and Meg's daughter Anais was also seen at the venue. Earlier today, Meg shared a string of snaps of her and Noel, writing alongside it: "TODAY IS THE DAY 4th July 2025 Finally here ….OASIS REUNION TOUR, Britpop was a British music and cultural movement that peaked in the mid-1990s, characterized by a revival of British guitar pop from the 1960s and 1970s, in contrast to American grunge. "It was not just a genre, but a reactionary and patriotic cultural response, celebrating British identity, working-class roots, and everyday life. To everyone who's there when they walk on the stage at 8.15pm will be a piece of history." Referencing the photo, she added: "That night was a lot of fun can't remember what after party gig it was .. back then there was always one which I was in charge of organising through @creationrecords money and fun had no limit back then." Meg had recently been forced to deny they were back together after she posted snaps of them kissing. During a 2020 interview with the Irish Mirror, Meg admitted she used to get terrible PTSD. She said: "I came through the marriage. Everything was public. At the end of the day I did not have the cog or the PR world that that person (Noel) had. "I was just the ex-wife. I had nobody. I didn't know what to do. I didn't have a press agent, wasn't famous, I just had a daughter. I used to get terrible PTSD. In 1997 I was the third most written about woman. It was Lady Diana, The Spice Girls and me." For those fans hoping to get a last minute ticket to Oasis' reunion gigs, the band are set to release a few final tickets. In a statement, they said: "As the shows are getting closer, Oasis promoters may be able to release a very limited number of additional tickets for sale once final sight lines are checked and the production is fine tuned. These final production releases will happen over the coming days."
