However, in a social media blunder, ITV posted a picture on Emmerdale's Instagram account, that was teasing a Coronation Street story.
Realising their mistake, the photo was removed and reposted on the Corrie handle instead.
The picture was of mechanic Abi, played by Sally Carman-Duttine, and her brother-in-law Carl (Jonathan Howard).
The two characters are embroiled in an affair, but things could be about to change after they were captured on camera.
Sally recently spoke about her character's dramas on the cobbles, including her secret fling with her brother-in-law.
"It's complete lust at first sight," Sally told Ok!.
"There's that undeniable chemistry – it's palpable. They just click. It was an instant attraction – they bounced off each other and it reignites something in Abi that's been dormant for ages.
"She's an addict and this gives her a thrill. It's a different kind of thrill, but it's exhilarating for her."
Meanwhile, in real life actress Sally is actually happily married to a fellow Corrie star.
In the same interview, she opened up about why working with her husband on the soap is a nightmare.

Sally married co-star Joe Duttine in 2022, who plays taxi boss Tim Metcalfe.
But she said in a recent interview that she would happily never work with him again if she could help it.
'I'd be very happy never to have a scene with him ever again,' she joked.
'I love Joe to bits, but I don't like working with him – I'm never going to like working with him."
Sally added: "Bless him, we've got very different work processes – let's just put it like that. I like to come fully prepared and he likes to flesh it out on the floor."
"Also, he's very funny. I'm such a giggler and once I've gone, I'm gone. It's terrible and even if people get annoyed about it, it doesn't help."
She continued: "He absolutely makes me howl with laughter and he does it on purpose. I get cross with him because he knows the situation, but he can't help himself.'
Sally and Joe quickly fell in love after she first joined Corrie in 2017 and became engaged three years late.
They finally tied the knot in 2022 after having to put their wedding on hold due to the pandemic.

Emmerdale airs Aaron and Robert reunion in ITVX release and reveals their future
The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn't aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed (time and time again if you're a fan of the characters we're about to mention) on ITVX. Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) have briefly reunited in Emmerdale, and it's very possible they're going to do it again in the future. When Robert returned to the village earlier this year, he tried to stop Aaron's wedding to his distant brother John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth). Outside, Robert admitted that he still had feelings for Aaron, and they shared a kiss. Aaron felt that his future was with John though, which meant he had to put his connection with Robert to the back of his mind. As a result of this and not wanting to make John jealous, Aaron has tried to keep his distance, but that was impossible in today's episode. On Friday, John orchestrated a situation that made Robert shout at their nephew Harry. John had asked the young lad to play his toy drum around Robert, knowing the loud banging would trigger him. The plan worked in John's favour, because Robert snapped and scared the boy. John arrived right on time and hugged Harry, acting like the hero once more. With Harry out of the room, John made a great effort to tell Robert that his behaviour is totally unpredictable. John used this to his advantage again by telling Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) all about it. She confronted her brother in the latest instalment of the ITV soap, saying that she can no longer leave Harry alone with him. Prior to this, John had handed Robert a business card for a therapist but as far as he was concerned, Robert was beyond help. John twisted the knife in further by calling Robert a waste of space so when Vic confronted him, her words made him spiral even more. Unleashing his emotions, Robert completely trashed his bedroom. He ripped shirts up, smashed mugs, and very nearly hit Aaron with a vase, who had arrived after hearing the commotion outside. Aaron managed to calm Robert down. A while later, he spoke about his time in prison and how he's now accepted it has impacted him more than he realised. Robert and Aaron, dubbed Robron by fans, kissed shortly after this conversation. They ended up in bed together, and neither of them really wanted to leave, basking in the glow and enjoying the quiet, safe environment. As they chatted, Aaron missed a call from John, and failed to realise that he was outside the house. John was chatting to Vic, but neither of them entered due to other distractions. Back in the bedroom, Aaron and Robert chatted. They concluded that thinking about the sex and their chemistry wasn't the main priority now, because they are both living complicated lives. But, unlike Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) and Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick), there was a little bit of hope. 'God knows I've made you wait', Robert said. 'It's my turn to be patient'. Aaron put his hand on Robert's shoulder. They didn't really say much, but they didn't need to. It's obvious the connection they have still hasn't dissipated.

Skibidi, tradwife and delulu: Social media words dominate new additions to Cambridge dictionary
"Skibidi", "tradwife", "delulu" and other slang terms popularised by social media are among thousands of new words to be added to the Cambridge Dictionary this year. Several phrases were also added, such as "mouse jiggler" to refer to inactive work-from-home employees, and the term "forever chemical," a label given to extremely persistent man-made chemicals that pollute the environment. In total, over 6,000 words were added to the dictionary. Skibidi, a meme word with a flexible meaning, was coined by the creator of a viral animated video series called "skibidi toilet" on YouTube, Cambridge Dictionary said. Kim Kardashian revealed her familiarity with the phrase when she posted a video on Instagram in October showing a necklace her daughter had given her as a birthday present, engraved with 'skibidi toilet.' "Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, lexical programme manager at Cambridge Dictionary. What do some of the new words mean? Skibidi - a gibberish word that can have different meanings, such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning as a joke. An example of its use is: "What the skibidi are you doing?" Tradwife - short for traditional wife, meaning a married woman who stays at home doing cooking, cleaning, and has children that she takes care of, but also regularly documents their life on social media. Delulu - a play on the word delusional, with a similar definition: believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to. Broligarchy - a composite word merging 'bro' and 'oligarchy', meaning a small group of men, especially men owning or involved in a technology business, who are extremely rich and powerful, and who have or want political influence. The term has been used to describe Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Mr McIntosh said Cambridge Dictionary only adds words which they believe will stand the test of time. 'It's not every day you get to see words like 'skibidi' and 'delulu' make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary,' he said. 'We only add words where we think they'll have staying power.' Cambridge Dictionary uses the Cambridge English Corpus, a database of more than two billion words of written and spoken English, to observe how new words are used by different people, how often and in what contexts they are used. More remote working since the pandemic helped 'mouse jiggler', meaning a device or piece of software used to make it seem as though you are working when you are not, gain its place in the dictionary. Meanwhile, new entries like 'work wife' and 'work spouse' acknowledge workplace relationships where two people help and trust each other, Cambridge Dictionary said.

Social media terms skibidi, tradwife and delulu added to Cambridge Dictionary
New additions to the Cambridge Dictionary includes slang terms popularised by social media, along with phrases made up of existing words. "Skibidi", "tradwife", "delulu" and other slang terms made popular by social media are among thousands of new words to be included in the Cambridge Dictionary this year. The ongoing remote working situation has brought about terms like "mouse jiggler" and concerns over climate change have led to the addition of the phrase "forever chemical", along with more than 6,000 other words. Slang term "skibidi", a nonsensical word, was added to the world's largest online dictionary in the past 12 months. Defined in the dictionary as "a word that can have different meanings such as 'cool' or 'bad', or can be used with no real meaning as a joke', an example of its use is: "What the skibidi are you doing? "The term was coined by the creator of a viral animated video series called "skibidi toilet" on YouTube, Cambridge Dictionary said, and Kim Kardashian revealed her familiarity with the phrase when she posted a video on Instagram in October showing a necklace her daughter had given her as a birthday present, engraved with "skibidi toilet". Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, lexical programme manager at Cambridge Dictionary." Tradwife", short for traditional wife, has also seen a surge in popularity, Cambridge Dictionary said, thanks to the digital world. This means a married woman who remains at home carrying out cooking, cleaning, and caring for children, with the dictionary definition also stating a "tradwife" is "especially one who posts on social media". Alongside fresh phrases, some abbreviated versions of existing terms have been included, such as "delulu", a twist on the word delusional, with a comparable definition: "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". Mr McIntosh explained Cambridge Dictionary only incorporates words which they believe will endure over time." It's not every day you get to see words like 'skibidi' and 'delulu' make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary," he said. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power." Cambridge Dictionary utilises the Cambridge English Corpus, a database containing more than two billion words of written and spoken English, to monitor how fresh words are employed by various people, how frequently and in which contexts they are used. Increased remote working since the pandemic assisted "mouse jiggler", referring to a device or piece of software used to make it appear as though you are working when you are not, secure its position in the dictionary. Several compound terms such as "broligarchy" were also incorporated. Combining "bro" and "oligarchy", the term refers to "a small group of men, particularly those owning or involved in a technology business, who are extremely wealthy and influential, and who seek or possess political influence". This was used to characterise tech moguls Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg at Donald Trump's inauguration in January. In addition, fresh entries such as "work wife" and "work spouse" recognise workplace relationships where two individuals assist and trust each other, according to the Cambridge Dictionary.
