Schedule Shake-Up! EastEnders Moves Time Slot While Emmerdale Disappears Tonight 😱🕢⚽

Bank Holiday Monday is bringing major TV turbulence for soap fans! With scheduling changes across both BBC One and ITV, viewers will need to double-check tonight’s lineup to avoid missing out on key episodes.

Over on BBC One, EastEnders won’t air in its usual 7:30pm slot. Instead, it’s hitting screens earlier than normal — catch it at 6:50pm, wrapping up just before its typical start time. The early broadcast is to make way for Disney’s live-action Dumbo at 7:20pm, followed by Paddy and Chris: Road Tripping at 9pm.

Tonight’s EastEnders episode (already available on BBC iPlayer) brings a mix of heart and hope. Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) tries to lift daughter Avani’s spirits, while Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley) spies a chance to step up and show Walford what he’s made of. Expect emotional moments and a subtle power shift in the Square.

Meanwhile on ITV, fans of Emmerdale will be disappointed — the show’s been bumped off the schedule entirely tonight to make way for EFL Live coverage of Burnley vs Sheffield United. Kickoff at Turf Moor is 5:30pm, with coverage running through to 7:45pm. A shortened ITV Evening News follows at 7:45pm, replacing its usual hour-long slot.

But don’t worry, soap lovers — Coronation Street is staying put! Tune in at 8pm for drama as George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) lands Todd Grimshaw and Sarah Platt in hot water with newcomer Danielle Silverton (Natalie Anderson). Meanwhile, a long-awaited introduction sees Jenny Bradley finally meet Dom Norwood (Dominic Rickhards) — a moment fans have been waiting for!

Celebrity Big Brother rounds out ITV’s night at 9pm, with a tense face-to-face nomination episode ahead of a shocking triple eviction this week.

And for those missing their Emmerdale fix — it returns tomorrow with a special extended episode from 7pm to 8pm, doubling its usual airtime on Tuesday.
