I wondered if VE Day was going to be mentioned in Emmerdale or whether they simply rewrote the episode as they had plenty of time to do some rewrites before filming restarted.
It would seem pretty odd to leave it in now.
So I guess at 3 episodes a week they'll get to the year 2000 in less than a year, and then it'll be 6-7 months a year from there on in for as long as they air double episodes every weekday.
The increasingly frequent hour long episodes and 5 episode weeks from 1997 onwards will slow down how long it takes for ITV3 to get through the episodes as well.
In last nights episode Lydia and Chas were getting ready for an event and putting up bunting but VE Day was never mentioned directly so im guessing the scenes were rewritten. At some point they will need to get the time frame of the episodes back on track so Halloween and Christmas etc all fall on the right dates when writing future scripts although they could this without much explanation of any jump in time afterall weekends rarely happen in soaps!
Really other than those soaps aren't even that season any more - they churn so much content out they don't particularly have time to be - you don't even get the summer holiday episodes you used too.
And it seems any Kim scenes were all pre-lockdown as Claire King hasn't returned to filming yet, which answers the question of whether we are still in a mixture of pre/post lockdown scenes since all of Kim scenes up to Last Wednesday were all pre-lockdown.
Im not sure about Kim. I had thought there were only 3 weeks (9 eps) of a mixture of pre and post lockdown filming but maybe not. I guess Emmerdale film far more scenes in advance that are out of sequence due to the location of the village being quite a distance from the studios plus having to produce 7 episodes a week for what seems to be half the year.
It shows how complicated - or efficient - soap filming actually is. I guess even in usual circumstances scenes in an episode could be filmed a month apart.

The case in point re the Kim scenes being pre-lockdown (which has only just come to light today) and i'm guessing the mixture of pre/post lockdown scenes must be more than was said.

Exactly. In any one episode scenes could have been filmed between 4 and 8 weeks ago but they usually quote 6 weeks when they mention how far ahead they are.
