You are going to be missing one trip to Weatherfield, and a visit to the Yorkshire Dales. I don’t make the rules, don’t come for me! It really has been a year of soap sacrifice for football, with the World Cup causing constant schedule changes, as well as the Carabao Cup and the UEFA Nations League. All tournaments have seen the soaps shunted around the schedules, with missing weekday episodes and the occasional double-up and Sunday special. So, what’s the deal with this week?
