SOAP fans were left confused and distressed with tonight's Coronation Street and EastEnders episodes changing air-time.
While Emmerdale still aired at its usual slot of 7pm, Coronation Street's 60-minute special meant that EastEnders has been pushed back to a later time.
Coronation Street will air for a full hour from half seven, while EastEnders will follow immediately after.
It's a change from the more common tactic of splitting a double-bill episode into two 30-minute installments, with EastEnders often airing in-between.
Soap fanatics flocked to social media to rant against the schedule change, but one viewer said the move meant "less channel hopping."
One put: "Why don't you just officially make the new time 8.30?"

A third commented: "Not a happy bunny for Good Friday as you're clashing with ITV programme. Sort your schedule please!"
