EastEnders will face two more scheduling clashes with rival soap Emmerdale this month.
Hour-long episodes of Emmerdale have been scheduled in by ITV on Tuesday, August 25 and Thursday, August 27 in 7pm timeslots.
EastEnders will air in its usual 7.30pm slots on the evenings in question, leaving it vulnerable in the ratings due to Emmerdale's head-starts.
EastEnders last faced an hour-long Emmerdale on August 4, dipping to 4.27m against the highly-promoted helicopter crash in the Dales.
The two shows were also in danger of clashing next Thursday (August 20) due to another 60-minute Emmerdale at 7pm, but BBC schedulers have moved EastEnders to 8.30pm that night.
Final schedules have also revealed plans for another special six-episode Coronation Street week. Six episodes had already been confirmed for the week commencing Monday, August 17, but it's now been revealed that the following week will also have six airings.
All three soaps are currently airing without disruption until August 20. Full details of the one-off changes afterwards follow below:
