ITV's Thursday schedule isn't doing brilliantly, is it?
Corrie is being beaten by EastEnders every week. Axe the Emmerdale episode and put the Corrie episode at 8pm and that might help?
I wonder if ITV might jiggle them about again in the new year. Wouldn't be surprised IMO. Reinstating Sunday's episode would be a start. It still has a place, even with the more entertainment-y skew. This would work fine:
7.00pm Emmerdale
7.30pm Coronation Street
8.00pm Dancing on Ice: The Result
9.00pm Wild at Heart
10.00pm ITV News
Good schedule IMO, and it would mean they could move axe that silly 8pm Emmerdale on Thursday and either move Corrie to 8 and axe a Friday episode or cut that out of Thursdays too, though that would leave a 4 day gap between Corrie episodes.
