Soap fans are already furious at plans to move the beloved shows to show the FIFA World Cup instead.
The football competition happens once every four years and will begin next month, and fans of Corrie, EastEnders and Emmerdale are already dreading it.
For a month from the middle of June to the middle of July, fans of the shows face disappointment as the sporting competition is slated to broadcast.
At least 16 evenings when the soaps would usually air will be affected by the competition.
The first confirmed move will be on Friday June 15 when EastEnders will be removed from its usual 8pm slot to the post-watershed 9:10pm slot due to Portugal v Spain.
