Coronation Street and Emmerdale off-air by early summer after coronavirus stops filming
Reading now: 755
Coronation Street and Emmerdale could end in "early summer" after the coronavirus shut down. Both soaps have stopped filming as the deadly bug wreaked havoc on the TV industry.
Soap bosses reduced the number of episodes shown each week in a bid to keep them on air for as long as possible. However, ITV bosses have now confirmed they will only last for a few months if filming doesn't restart.
A statement from the company explained: "The two biggest soaps on TV, Coronation Street and Emmerdale, will continue to run through the Spring and into the early Summer." Corrie filming ended this week and will now only air three episodes a week, while cast members not in self-isolation had to deal with last-minute script changes last week.
