Fresh blow for Emmerdale & Corrie as ITV pulls soaps off air AGAIN

Her alter-ego has become a huge fan favourite on the show and has been involved in some huge storylines, including her mum Donna’s death, a secret pregnancy and county lines.
As well as NOWT, Amelia is also set to star in The Rebooted.
Amelia isn’t the only person in her family who acts on a soap.
Her younger brother William and sister Isabella, who are twins, are in Coronation Street.
Isabella plays Hope Stape, while William is Joseph Brown.
Soap fans will be disappointed to know that Emmerdale and Corrie have been subject to another huge schedule shake-up and will be pulled off-air next week.
In June, coverage of The Fifa World Cup 2026 left ITV viewers up in arms as their favourite shows were shifted – and now the start of the domestic football season has sparked further viewing chaos.
A statement from ITV confirmed one key clash from Round Two of the Carabao Cup will air on ITV1 – the usual home of Corrie and Emmerdale – on August 25 from 730pm.
This means Yorkshire-based Emmerdale will be removed from its 8pm slot while Corrie’s Weatherfield action, which ordinarily kicks off 30 minutes later, will also be scrapped.
This will make way for the broadcaster to air the cup match between Premier League sides Nottingham Forest and Leeds United, which is part of ITV’s ongoing deal with the English Football League.
The clash, which takes place at The City Ground in Nottingham, will kick off at 8pm and will be free to air on ITV.
