I agree about the Sunday Emmedale. I think the fact that Corrie isnt on every weeknight meant a Sunday episode was OK - with Emmerdale they had 6 episodes a week, and now have 5 with 1 of those being a 1 hour episode. Both those situations are overkill IMO.
Id rather they didnt show Corrie every weeknight at 7.30pm - I prefer the double episodes to that as it would mean not having a longer "break" between episodes if you see what I mean. The aussie soaps are at a different pace so suit the 5 episodes a week situtation better IMO, but I find im bored of Hollyoaks sometimes and it was better at 3 a week.
The fact ITV dont have other programme to replace it with is a poor excuse - Corrie and Emmerdale houldnt be churned out to the amount it has been just because they cant come up with sucessful ideas.
PS Im not watching Corrie at the moment as ive just got home so im going to watch my 46 minutes of Corrie alltogether

I think the Sunday episode was far less intrusive on the "weekend" schedule than the Friday episode is now - and though I think getting rid of the Sunday Emmerdale is the right decision, I'm not convinced with Corrie.
And also at least with Corrie firmly at 7.30pm we had none of this stupid 7.50pm/9.20pm start time rubbish!
Though I wouldn't be complaining if they did what Jez did and dropped it to 4 a week (going back to 3 would be too much of a cull IMO), it's more the double episodes than the number of episodes which is the problem at the moment - and really I think ITV should just bite the bullet and put it at 7.30pm each weeknight, freeing up the 8pm stuff for other programming.
The problem at the moment though is ITV simply don't have that other programming!
