Emmerdale have confirmed that they will be returning to our screens for six episodes a week.
Production of the hit soap was halted back in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, before some castmates returned for three episodes per week in a socially distanced environment.
ITV announced on Wednesday that the show would be back up to speed with six-episode weeks returning from September 14, revealing that Coronation Street would also be back six times a week.
“Guilt, betrayal and resentment are at the centre of the village this autumn,” ITV stated.
Every hug.
Every touch.
Every smile
Every tear.
Every look.
Every lie.
Every kiss…
For everyone. Everywhere. Every day.
