Yahoo News Emmerdale to air early again with Faith's final episode
Emmerdale spoilers follow.
Emmerdale fans should watch out for yet another scheduling change tonight (October 13), as the soap airs in an earlier timeslot.
The ITV show traditionally airs at 7.30pm every weeknight, as part of a soap scheduling shake-up that was unveiled in March.
In recent days, Emmerdale has occasionally moved back to its old slot of 7pm to make way for live Women's International Football coverage.
Thursday's hour-long episode will also air at 7pm, as the National Television Awards 2022 are being broadcast live on ITV from 8pm.

The emotional Emmerdale episode will feature Faith Dingle's final scenes, as her terminal cancer storyline reaches its tragic conclusion.
With Faith ready to die on her own terms after spending a perfect day with her family this week, she prepares for the end by saying some veiled goodbyes.
After Faith heads to bed at The Woolpack, her son Cain and daughter-in-law Moira realise what she has done.
Sally Dexter, who plays Faith, recently explained: "I have enjoyed being back. I will miss the laughter, the fabulous Yorkshire countryside and the skill, talent and dedication of the whole team of people I respect, admire and have huge affection for.

"I'm hugely sad that Faith can't return. If you spot me on the street you might recognise me wearing a few items!
"I always knew Faith was coming back to die. My idea was to have her save Cain and Chas from some sort of attack in the Woolie – say from a bullet or a knife aimed at her children from a crazed intruder! I could picture her sliding down the side of the bar, with Cain and Chas declaring her a heroine!
"But the story Jane [Hudson, Emmerdale's executive producer] and the team wanted was a far more important and difficult one to tell. I only hope we have done as much justice as we could."
Emmerdale airs tonight at 7pm on ITV, and streams on the ITV Hub.
