After a brief trip to the Emmerdale village last night, the next visit will be delayed slightly as the ITV soap won’t air this evening.
It’s been a confusing time for us soap lovers, as coverage of Wimbledon and the UEFA Women’s Euros have turned the usual schedules for EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale upside down.
One minute you’re sitting down ready for your usual trip to the Dales and the next, you learn that drama in the village is being put on hold for a week.
Honestly, it’s a lot to keep up with – and it sadly isn’t over yet.
Here’s what the schedule for Emmerdale looks like for the rest of this week:
Is Emmerdale on tonight?
No, Emmerdale isn’t on tonight (July 9). However, for the rest of this week, the schedule is as follows:
Wednesday, July 9 – No episode
Thursday, July 10 – 7:30-8:30pm
Friday, July 11 – 7:30-8pm
What happened in Emmerdale last night?
Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) returned home after her hysterectomy and struggled with what her operation has cost her. She tried to distract herself by helping Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), who was busy trying to make some posters for Nate’s memorial.
Elsewhere in the village, Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) was faced with an angry Ross Barton (Michael Parr), who accused him of stealing the weed that disappeared from the barn last week.
At Home Farm, Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) remained paranoid about his blackmailer.
He attempted to do something about it by sacking sidekick Shaun, but put himself in huge danger when the character hit him over the head with a shovel.
This development of course comes ahead of Doctor Crowley’s (James Hillier) return.
What else happens in Emmerdale this week?
With Crowley busy planning revenge, Joe discovers the lengths the dodgy surgeon is prepared to go to.
Sarah heads to work at the garage to take her mind off her recovery. She joins Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) as they take her car for a diagnostic test, but the two friends end up in hospital as a result of Gabby fainting at the wheel.
Also, Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches) gets a new job at the cafe, while Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) debates having a conversation with Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) after overhearing a part of his chat with Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah).
