Is Emmerdale on tonight? ITV soap faces huge schedule shake-up again this week
Emmerdale fans may be left disappointed if they sit down to get their Wednesday fix of the ITV show tonight.
The ITV soap usually airs at 7.30pm on Wednesday, however, it's been taken off air again tonight following yet another schedule shake-up. The soap schedule has been all over the place this summer due to a number of huge sporting events - and the schedule continues this week.
Tonight, ITV will be broadcasting coverage of the first UEFA Women's Euro semi-final, in which England will be taking on Italy live at the Stade de Genève in Switzerland.
Coverage will begin from 7pm and run all the way up until the ITV news at 10.30pm. A win for the Lionesses will take them through to the final, which will take place this Sunday (July 27) and will be held at St. Jakob-Park in Basel.
The winner of tonight's semi-final will be facing the winner of tomorrow night's semi-final, which will see Germany take on Spain. The second semi-final will air over on BBC, meaning EastEnders will be taking off air tomorrow night.
Although fans are missing out on tonight's episode, Emmerdale will be back in its usual 7.30pm slot tomorrow night and in its one hour slot on Thursday night.
The missing Emmerdale episode comes after a highly dramatic episode last night (July 21). On Friday we saw John head to the house of patient Owen, the man who had drugged Robert Sugden just weeks before. John found him lifeless after an apparent overdose, and instead of calling for help he let him die.
Before fleeing the scene he wrote a suicide note on Owen's laptop which was a confession to Nate's murder. Last night, a detective told Cain and Tracy Owen was dead with them believing he had taken his own life, leaving his confession before taking an overdose.
Of course, fans know that it was all John's doing. However, John went into so much detail in the note, hoping he wouldn't be found out. But will he manage to get away with it?
It's set to be a huge week in the Dales next week, spoilers reveal. There's drama in with the Sugdens as Robert continues to look into his mysterious brother John, leading to the latter eyeing up the former as his next target...
How long can John get away with his act?

He tells her: 'I have really tried with her [Helena], but we [Shakira and I] had like a week and it was, for me, the feelings were obviously way stronger and still are. "I'm sorry I never like tried again. I really thought the door was just, like, slammed.' Shakira responds: 'Do you want some home truths… it's obviously the way you go about it and the steps you take in between to come to these conclusions obviously hurt people along the way. "It's all well and good you saying 'hold my hands up guys, sorry' but you still hurt people. And it's a pattern.' Harry then makes his intentions clear, saying: 'Look, I'm either leaving here alone or with you.' Elsewhere, Helena remains confused by Harry's sudden shift and pulls Shakira for a chat. Shakira explains: 'Nothing's changed. There's been no miracle… I was saying I've not let myself heal over the situation and then he was like, 'Same'. I was like, 'What?' "He said, 'I've not processed how I felt towards you, I've hopped into something with Helena.' I don't understand it.' Helena replies: 'No, I don't understand it.'

Harry admits: 'I didn't, I just buried it all. I just didn't address any of my feelings and we were flying…' Helena responds emotionally: 'I thought I had something genuine in here.' Later, Shakira questions Harry's sudden change in behaviour, telling him: 'Like, how you're feeling now is not making sense from what I've seen for the past however many weeks.' When she asks, 'What are we doing?', Harry simply replies: 'I don't know.' 5 Helena ended things with Harry after the Grafties Credit: ITV 5 Fans have begged that Shakira bags a spot in the final Credit: ITV 5 A recoupling will see the boys choose the girls Credit: ITV Amid the chaos, some fans have speculated that Harry and Shakira could well get back together, especially with the impending recouple which will see the boys choose the girl they want to couple up with. Whether or not they reignite their romantic spark, fans have begged that Shakira bags a spot in the final 'no matter what.' On social media, one person wrote: 'I just want to see Shakira in the final she can break up with harry outside at this point, idc. My girl deserves the final.' A second penned: "Like this post if you will still vote Shakira to make the final or win even if she is coupled up with harry.' And a third said: 'HEAR ME OUT (I don't like harry) but this is the first time he's talking serious, even being serious and it could get our Shakira to the final, so…' Another person echoed: 'Whatever you choose to do, Shakira I fully support you princess. Let's get you to the final.' On Sunday night's episode, viewers will watch as Harry and Shakira get chance to chat after the explosive Grafties. Sitting together inside, Harry and Shakira debrief about how they're feeling. Harry says: 'I have really tried with her [Helena], but we [Shakira and Harry] had like a week and it was, for me, the feelings were obviously way stronger and still are. I'm sorry I never like tried again. I really thought the door was just, like, slammed.' Shakira replies: 'Do you want some home truths… it's obviously the way you go about it and the steps you take in between to come to these conclusions obviously hurt people along the way. 'It's all well and good you saying 'hold my hands up guys, sorry' but you still hurt people.' Shakira adds: 'And it's a pattern.' Harry then says: 'Look, I'm either leaving here alone or with you.' On Friday night, Helena was furious as she watched clips of Harry flirting with exes Emma Munro and Shakira Khan - while they were coupled up. She branded Harry a "f*****g joke" and added: "Shakira doesn't want you, I don't wanr you." Fellow OG Islander Conor told Harry later: "Remember what you have first, with Helena. "I think it's quite rare, to be honest, what you do have with her." Harry replied: "I'll be honest mate - and I know you're probably gonna tell her this. "I think it's more friendly, for me." He added: "I just feel like, with Shakira it was way more natural in my opinion. "It was more relationship-focused, more emotional. I feel like I was way more into her."

She continued: 'In later years he was known for request-based and nostalgia shows and he got loads of letters, emails and calls right up to his last show in 2020. 'Wherever you went around the area you would always meet someone who loved Gerry's show. 'Off-mic, Gerry was just as much of a gentleman as he was on it, always encouraging, always warm and proud to still be on the radio after 50 years. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.' His former co-star, football reporter Alan Biggs. said: 'Radio listeners in Sheffield will mourn the passing of Gerry Kersey. Gerry was a mainstay of both Radio Sheffield & Radio Hallam (where I was lucky to work with the nicest bloke). 'Super talented; actor & artist also. Thinking of Gerry's family & many friends.'
