EastEnders and Emmerdale New Year’s Eve episodes to clash after schedule change

EastEnders and Emmerdale take on each other in a battle for viewers on New Year’s Eve.

Both soaps air at the exact same time of 7:30pm on Thursday night.

EastEnders normally airs in this slot, while Emmerdale has been pushed back by half an hour due to a schedule change.

With ITV news and The Chase airing at different times, Emmerdale will air later than normal – with You’ve Been Framed! airing at 7pm.

This episode is followed by Coronation Street, airing at 8:30pm.



EastEnders and Emmerdale clash on New Year’s Eve

EastEnders is on for 30 minutes, and will clash entirely with the first half of the ITV rival.

Viewers can obviously watch it on BBC iPlayer instead, or watch Emmerdale an hour later on ITV +1.

Some fans had taken to Twitter after spotting the issue, left torn over what to do about it.



Charity and Mack cause trouble on Emmerdale

One viewer wrote: “OMG! Who’s responsible? Instead of starting #emmerdale ‘s 1st episode at usual time of 7pm & putting You’ve Been Framed in the middle with the 2nd episode at 8pm, ‘someone”‘ has “decided” to do ONE episode at starting at 7.30pm??!!

“Well sorry but I’m not missing @bbceastenders.”

Another wrote: “Emmerdale and eastenders clash tomorrow i’ve no idea what to do and i’m stressed.”



EastEnders’ Mick Carter will feature in powerful scenes

A third added: ” #Emmerdale and #EastEnders clash tomorrow night. Which are you watching first? EastEnders for me.”

EastEnders airs tough scenes on New Year’s Eve, as Mick Carter will contemplate suicide after struggling with his traumatic past.

Over in the village, Emmerdale fans will see Charity and Mackenzie target Home Farm.

Both ITV’s Emmerdale and BBC One’s EastEnders air at 7:30pm on New Year’s Eve.
