EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street in scheduling chaos!

Nothing's on when we're expecting it to be on!

Soap fans are in for a very confusing time when EastEnders, Corrie and Emmerdale are all moved from their usual slots to make way for sport and the Brit Awards.

Things start to go awry on Monday, February 19, when BBC1 shows Wigan Athletic v Manchester City instead of EastEnders.

EastEnders will be on as normal the next day, and the extra episode will be slotted in on Wednesday, February 21.

And then on Thursday, February 22, EastEnders will be an hour long episode at 7.30pm.

The move is because there is no episode the next day, because BBC1 is showing a Six Nations match between France and Italy.

Still with us? Good.

That same Thursday – February 22 – Emmerdale is moving too. It’s going to be an hour-long episode instead of the usual split double.

It will clash with Enders for half an hour because it starts at 7pm, hoping fans will stick with Emmerdale instead of turning over. Crafty, eh?

Corrie’s making some changes too.

On Wednesday, February 21, there will only be one episode of the show.

That’s instead of the usual two to make way for ITV’s coverage of the Brit Awards.

But don’t worry – it’s got a special episode on Thursday, February 22 at 8.30pm to make up for it.

Thank goodness for catch-up TV!
