Emmerdale fans may be left disappointed if they sit down to get their Tuesday fix of the ITV show tonight.

The ITV soap usually airs at 7.30pm on Tuesday, however, it’s been taken off air again tonight following yet another schedule shake-up. The soap schedule has been all over the place this summer due to a number of huge sporting events – and the schedule continues this week.

Tonight, ITV will be broadcasting coverage of the first UEFA Women’s Euro semi-final, in which England will be taking on Italy live at the Stade de Genève in Switzerland.

Coverage will begin from 7pm and run all the way up until the ITV news at 10.30pm. A win for the Lionesses will take them through to the final, which will take place this Sunday (July 27) and will be held at St. Jakob-Park in Basel.

The winner of tonight’s semi-final will be facing the winner of tomorrow night’s semi-final, which will see Germany take on Spain. The second semi-final will air over on BBC, meaning EastEnders will be taking off air tomorrow night.

Although fans are missing out on tonight’s episode, Emmerdale will be back in its usual 7.30pm slot tomorrow night and in its one hour slot on Thursday night.

The missing Emmerdale episode comes after a highly dramatic episode last night (July 21). On Friday we saw John head to the house of patient Owen, the man who had drugged Robert Sugden just weeks before. John found him lifeless after an apparent overdose, and instead of calling for help he let him die.

Before fleeing the scene he wrote a suicide note on Owen’s laptop which was a confession to Nate’s murder. Last night, a detective told Cain and Tracy Owen was dead with them believing he had taken his own life, leaving his confession before taking an overdose.

Of course, fans know that it was all John’s doing. However, John went into so much detail in the note, hoping he wouldn’t be found out. But will he manage to get away with it?

It’s set to be a huge week in the Dales next week, spoilers reveal. There’s drama in with the Sugdens as Robert continues to look into his mysterious brother John, leading to the latter eyeing up the former as his next target…

How long can John get away with his act?
