What time is Emmerdale on tonight?

Emmerdale will air it’s usual 30 minute episode, half an hour earlier tonight, at 7pm.

It’s been a tough week for viewers as they have been hit with multiple schedule changes to the soap thanks to the continuous coverage of football matches on ITV.

The shake-up comes during a dramatic week of Emmerdale as April was finally found. We learned the truth about her disappearance, discovering the teen was actually pregnant, and gave birth to a stillborn baby. 

However, thanks to ITVX, viewers can still watch the episode even earlier if it suits them best. Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale is already available to watch on the streaming platform, as usual.

What happens in Emmerdale tonight?

Last night’s episode saw Charity sneak into Home Farm, just about missing Joe and Dawn heading upstairs together. In the end, she stole the closest laptop, which happened to be Kim’s.

As viewers know, that laptop has countless recordings of Joe. And in tonight’s episode Charity makes a huge discovery. But what was it?

In other scenes tonight, Leyla opens up about how she has been feeling lately.

Throughout the week, Leyla has been desperate for anyone to spend time with her, trying to stop herself from feeling lonely. But as everyone has been busy with their own lives, she has been forced to face reality.

With reports that Roxy Shahidi is leaving the soap, some fans think her exit may line up with the upcoming ice stunt. Especially due to her recent storyline.

Elsewhere with Marlon and Rhona having learnt the truth about April, viewers can expect the fallout from her disappearance to continue.
