Emmerdale has confirmed plans for another seven-episode week in the latest official schedules.
The show has slotted in a bonus airing at 8pm on Tuesdays for the past two weeks – and we've already revealed plans for this to continue next week too.
Beyond that, new schedules released for the week commencing Monday, April 29 have now revealed that the bonus episode is sticking around for a fourth consecutive week.
Once again, Emmerdale will air a double bill at 7pm and 8pm on Tuesday (April 30) – giving fans even more Dales drama to enjoy.
Although no official reason has been given for the extra episodes, we know a number of the soap's stories are currently building up to a dramatic peak.
Next week's episodes see the villagers head off for a life-changing night out at a club, which will see Maya Stepney's true colours finally exposed and Ellis Chapman face potential danger from gangster Max.
What to Read Next
The night out will later be revisited in the week commencing Monday, May 6, when flashbacks offer viewers the full story of what happened.
ITV schedules beyond Friday, May 3 have yet to be revealed, so it's not clear yet how long the extra Emmerdale episodes will be around for.
