Christmas may be over, but with New Year there comes a whole new schedule shakeup. Here’s when you can catch Emmerdale this week.
As is usually the case, Emmerdale will be on every day this week, but not always at its usual time. With the search for April continuing and Jacob’s special A&E episode set to air, fans won’t want to miss any of the action.
So here’s what time Emmerdale will be hitting your TV screens this week.
New Year schedule for Emmerdale
The schedule for Emmerdale this week will see the soap air in its regular 7.30pm slot for half hour on Monday, December 30. On New Year’s Eve it will start slightly later, at 7.45pm, finishing at 8.15pm.
On New Year’s Day, just like Christmas Day, Emmerdale will air at the earlier time of 6.30pm for half hour. There will then be an hour long episode of the soap on Thursday, January 2. This will air between 7pm and 8pm.
On Friday, January 3, Emmerdale returns to the 7.30pm slot, where it will air for half hour.
What is happening in Emmerdale this week?
In Emmerdale this week, the search for April continues and the police search her home looking for clues as to her whereabouts. One thing they find is contraceptive pills, which neither Marlon nor Rhona knew she was taking.
As April’s disappearance takes its toll, Marlon and Rhona are soon at each other’s throats.
Elsewhere, Emmerdale will air a special standalone episode for Jacob Gallagher‘s first day in A&E. However, things don’t quite go to plan and Jacob soon feels under pressure.
When a stab victim is admitted to the hospital, Jacob recognises the purse as belonging to April and he decides to call Marlon. His boss is furious with his conduct, but this doesn’t prevent Marlon and Rhona from turning up at the hospital and begging for news. Has April been found?
Also this week, we will see five flash forwards which hint at what’s to come in 2025…
