Hollyoaks cutting back the number of episodes they air every week, from Monday March 30th, to 3 episodes a week Monday-Wednesday.

They're still continuing with production for the time being, so this is more of a precaution in case they have to shut down in the forseeable future.

Corrie & Emmerdale are to cut back episodes starting next week, although production will continue for the time being.

Corrie will air just one episode on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays - so 3 eps a week.

Emmerdale are dropping the second episode on Thursday nights, but everything else continuing as usual - so still 5 eps a week.

I think Emmerdale should drop the second episode on Thursday permanently. It's on too often and the quality has dropped drastically in last few years as a result.They should limit it to 3 or 4 episodes a week and have the occasional hour long episode for a big story line.

Neighbours are back filming tomorrow Friday March 20 and have to use social distancing. Episodes should be fun to watch.

You can build that into the storyline.

Anyone know when they'll be back properly?

The discussion groups online a bit mad at the moment.

On Monday Emmerdale is on at 7 with Coronation Street at 7:30 for 30 minutes with BGT on at 8. (ITV and Virgin1.)

Just to mention Coro St and Emmers are moving to 8pm and 8:30 Monday to Friday from 2026

Dropping the second Emmerdale Episode and cutting Friday night Coro St in half.

Half hour reduction for both.
