A very good week for Emmerdale indeed:

Emmerdale trumped rival soap EastEnders in the ratings battle, as the two shows went head to head on Tuesday night.

The hour-long episode of the ITV soap was watched by 7.5 million viewers, while the BBC programme was seen by a peak audience of 5.2 million on May 14, reported The Sun.

But according to Bafta, Deadenders is STILL the best continuing drama/soap.... the viewing figures v Corrie AND Emmerdale tell a very different story.
