Emmerdale and Coronation Street will return to six episodes a week after recovering from the slowdown in production caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Filming on the ITV soaps was halted in March in a bid to stop the spread of Covid-19, although some cast and crew returned to the Emmerdale set in May for socially distanced shoots.
