Soap fans furious as EastEnders and Coronation Street clash again on New Year’s Day

It's the second night running

Soap fans have been left fuming as EastEnders and Coronation Street will go head to head on New Year’s Day for the second night running.

On New Year’s Eve, both soaps aired at 7.30pm, forcing fans to choose, which to watch live.

And tonight (January 1, 2020) sees the two serial dramas airing at 8pm on BBC One and ITV respectively.

Fans hoping to avoid spoilers are not happy about the scheduling.

After a dramatic visit to Albert Square last night that saw Kellie Bright win high praise for her performance as Linda Carter, whose alcoholism is spiralling out of control, fans all want one question answered tonight…

What really happened to Keanu Taylor?

The Christmas Day episode suggested Martin Fowler had shot him dead on the orders of Ben Mitchell.

But a special flashback episode will tonight reveal what actually went down – and new pictures have already shown Keanu didn’t go down without a fight.

Linda is also a player in the storylines – so what really happened? And who knows what really happened?

Over in Coronation Street, fans are waiting to find out who Tracy McDonald slept with.

Viewers know she cheated on husband Steve on New Year’s Eve after he swapped shifts with Tim to avoid going out with his wife.

Devastated Tracy ended up getting drunk with Paula Martin – but is that who she had the ill-advised fling with?
