From this week, the Emmerdale and Coronation Street omnibuses have both been dropped from ITV2 and 3, meaning that there are no longer any repeats of current day episodes, with ITVX being the only option available.

I guess that does make sense. If you’re a big fan of a soap, so much that you don’t want to miss an episode, you’ll probably have it on series link to record, or use a catch-up/streaming service.

The idea of having to wait until an omnibus episode airs to catch up is a bit redundant now. And the number of people who choose to watch all the episodes in one go must be low these days now they’re on for so long. I couldn’t imagine sitting through nearly three hours of a soap in one sitting.
