Yes, they've been very much in graveyard slots for sometime, and though I do think omnibuses have a place in this world of boxsetting perhaps linear isn't the best way to deliver them. Indeed I think the quick turnaround repeats of individual episodes suit linear better. The trouble for ITV was they always sat a bit too old for ITV2, too new for ITV3 - though considering ITV2 mainly replaced them with reruns of ITV gameshows they're still have been targetting a similar audience around lunchtime, though the slot has gone from 3 hours to 1 hour now.
I don't think ITV publish an advance schedule for their signed channel on ITVX but simulcasting the soaps really would be a huge step up in offering that service. Just hope they don't ditch the signed soap episodes completely.
