ITV is changing the Emmerdale and Coronation Street TV schedules next week due to the broadcaster airing a football match on Tuesday evening (September 29).
The soaps are often moved for ITV football, and this time the UEFA Nations League will disrupt the usual schedule.
Here's what we know about the TV schedule for soaps in the coming days.
Emmerdale and Coronation Street soap schedules to change next week
Emmerdale and Coronation Street will mostly follow their usual schedules next week, with one exception.
Scotland will face Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League from 7.30pm, with kick-off at 7.45pm.
These broadcast times mean the football match will cross over both slots for Coronation Street and Emmerdale.
There is currently no Sunday episode of either soap, meaning fans will miss one episode next week, at the time of writing.
Coronation Street replaces Toyah Battersby actress for 'heartbreaking' reason
It comes as Corrie fans saw Debbie Webster's dementia worsen in last night's episode (September 24) as she failed to recognise a familiar face - Toyah Battersby.
Georgia Taylor, who plays Toyah Battersby, was temporarily replaced by another actress, Anya Williams.
The episode showed how far Debbie Webster’s dementia had progressed when she failed to recognise Toyah in the street.

The scene was shown from Debbie’s perspective, with Anya Williams replacing Georgia Taylor to show how confusing dementia can be for her.
When the camera angle changed, viewers saw that Toyah, played by Georgia Taylor, had been speaking to Debbie all along.
Fans on X called the segment “clever” and “heartbreaking” as they realised how far Debbie’s dementia had progressed.
