Emmerdale hit with fresh schedule change tonight - here's when you can catch it

Schedule changes are the bane of our lives

Emmerdale will air at a slightly earlier time tonight as the ITV soap is hit with a new schedule change (surprise, surprise).

Schedule changes are becoming quite a regular occurrence if recent weeks are anything to go by. Tonight (Thursday, October 31) sees the soap air at a different time to usual.

Here’s when the soap will air tonight so you don’t miss out on all of the spooky goings on in the Dales this Halloween!

Emmerdale schedule change: Soap to air at 7pm

Emmerdale usually airs at 7.30pm-8.30pm on Thursday, but tonight, the soap will air from 7pm-8pm.

In what feels like quite the Halloween trick, the usual soap schedule will be temporarily altered to make room for… wait for it… no, not the football this time! It’s the Martin Lewis Money Show Budget Special!

The King of Finance will be airing a special ep from 8pm-9pm, meaning that Emmerdale needs to air at a slightly earlier time. Where Martin Lewis is concerned, we’ll forgive him for this one.

For those fans who want to watch today’s Emmerdale even earlier, the episode is now available on ITVX.

What to expect from tonight’s Emmerdale

This evening’s Emmerdale is set to get rather spooky as Chas invites Liam and Ella to Halloween at the pub.

Chas and Liam end up sharing a kiss though as Liam realises that he must break up with Ella…

Elsewhere, Tom’s starting to sweat as Nicola and Jimmy clash over their differing views regarding their nephew.

The couple’s relationship is put under strain as Nicola continues to share her concerns over Tom’s behaviour after his recent treatment of Carl.

Perhaps it won’t be quite a Happy Halloween for everyone in the village this year…
