ITV has made the decision to cut the number of weekly Emmerdale episodes, after filming on the show was paused as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement published today (March 23), the broadcaster announced: "Following yesterday's announcement that filming of Coronation Street and Emmerdale will be suspended, ITV has taken the decision to reduce Emmerdale's transmission pattern to three episodes per week from Monday 30 March.
"The Yorkshire based soap will air on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Coronation Street airing at 7.30pm on the same nights.
"The change to Emmerdale's transmission pattern will ensure we have episodes of both soaps airing on ITV until at least the early summer."

Last week, BBC favourite EastEnders made similar amendments to its schedule, with episodes now airing on just Mondays at 8pm and Tuesdays at 7.30pm.
Coronation Street, which has also paused filming, will also air just three episodes a week from March 30, also on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Hollyoaks, meanwhile, will air three episodes weekly on Mondays-Wednesdays following its suspension of filming. It will air classic episodes on Thursdays and Fridays on E4.
Home and Away, Casualty, Holby City and Neighbours have all paused production, while nothing has yet been implemented in regards to a reduced number of episodes.
This may all change in the coming days, though.
