Coronation Street fans have been left in a state of confusion after the beloved soap was once again removed from screens due to another scheduling shake-up. The long-standing ITV drama usually adheres to a regular weekly schedule, airing hour-long episodes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings.
However, this week saw a significant disruption as Coronation Street was moved from its usual Wednesday (27 August) slot. Instead of the normal schedule, the popular programme aired from 8pm to 9pm on Monday evening (25 August), Tuesday evening (26 August) and will also broadcast at the same time on Friday (29 August).
This change in schedule is due to ITV's live coverage of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday , featuring a match between Grimsby Town and Manchester United . Viewers were understandably puzzled on Wednesday when they couldn't find the episode usually available early on ITVX.
On a Corrie Facebook fan page, one viewer asked: "Why isn't Corrie on tonight?
Can't find tonight's episode on ITVX." Another added: "It's not on because of the football."
This week, intense drama has unfolded in Weatherfield for several residents, particularly trainee paramedic Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey).
