Another week, another schedule change for Coronation Street on ITV.
It comes as the soap is once again affected by the broadcasters showing of the Rugby World Cup for the bronze final between Argentina and England.
The match will kick off at 8pm on Friday, October 27 when Corrie usually airs.
Instead, this episode has been moved to earlier in the week, meaning there will be three consecutive showings of Weatherfield drama.
This will run similar to last week’s schedule change on ITV.
Next week: Daniel demands the truth, Stu seeks some answers and has Aadi made the right choice?

When is Coronation Street on TV this week?
Coronation Street was on ITV at its usual time last night (October 23) but it will also be on again tonight (October 24) and tomorrow night (October 25) from 8pm until 9pm.
The official Corrie account announced the news to fans on X, formerly known as Twitter earlier this week.
Coronation Street fans say ‘leave Corrie alone’ amid another ITV schedule change
Viewers were quick to respond to the post, as one account replied: “While I like three consecutive days of episodes. It does get boring waiting from wed to Monday for another ep! Roll on the Sunday and end of Rugby. Especially now England are out!”
Another added: “It's been M, T, W almost every week. You'd be as well making it a permament thing. Or stick to M, W, and F without exception. You can always show the rugby and other football on ITV 2 instead.”

Britain's Got Talent's Jack Carroll joins Coronation Street
A new face is set to arrive on the cobbles as Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) comedian Jack Carroll joins the cast.
Jack, who has cerebral palsy made the final of BGT when he was just 14 years old but missed out on the top spot in 2013 when shadow theatre group Attraction was crowned winners.
The Pride of Britain winner will play Carla Barlow’s nephew Bobby, the son of her brother Rob Donovan.
Jack reportedly began filming on the soap this week and will turn up on Corrie “out of the blue” giving Carla quite the shock as she finds out about her new family member just after Christmas.
Bobby's dad Rob is currently in prison, serving a life sentence for the murder of Tina McIntyre who was played by Michelle Keegan.
He only recently found out he has a son but hasn’t told his sister Carla about him.
Speaking about his Corrie debut on X (formerly Twitter), Jack said: “I'm delighted and honoured to be playing a part in the history of the cultural institution that is Coronation Street.
“I hope Bobby brings viewers a lot of laughs in the vein of some of the street's classic comedy characters."
Coronation Street airs on ITV and ITVX, Monday to Wednesday at 8pm this week.
