Emmerdale and Coronation Street fans, get your diaries out and sharpen your pencils because there are some huge changes to the usual schedules in the coming weeks. But fear not \u2013 we\u2019ve got everything you need to know so you don\u2019t miss any of the soap action.<\/p>\n
There are some massive storylines running currently in both the ITV soaps. Coronation Street fans are wondering whether serial killer Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) could finally be running out of luck as people are starting to get increasingly suspicious of his activities.<\/p>\n
Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine), who\u2019s long had his doubts about Stephen, is set to try to alert Sarah Platt (Tina O\u2019Brien) to his suspicions \u2013 leading her to do some investigating of her own. Peter (Chris Gascoyne) and Carla (Alison King), meanwhile, are also on Stephen\u2019s trail as well. Could he soon be facing justice \u2013 or might he kill again if he\u2019s cornered?<\/p>\n
Meanwhile things continue to spiral for Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) after the devastating acid attack and Cassie (Claire Sweeney)\u2019s return to Tyrone (Alan Halsall)\u2019s life causes more upheaval. And there\u2019s the hugely emotional story of Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) and his deteriorating health.<\/p>\n
Emmerdale viewers have just seen Mackenzie (Lawrence Robb) and Charity (Emma Atkins) sleeping together in a moment of madness ahead of baby Reuben\u2019s christening, and there are bound to be repercussions \u2013 and broken hearts \u2013 in the wake of that.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere Mary (Louise Jameson), Paddy (Dominic Brunt) and Marlon (Mark Charnock) are all about to take major steps forward as Rhona (Zoe Henry) forces them to face their fears.<\/p>\n
And there\u2019s a devastating storyline unfolding for Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick), who has just reconnected with her old friend Craig (Ben Addis). He\u2019s someone she was close to when they both lived in a children\u2019s home and was revealed as the father of her baby Toby.<\/p>\n
In upcoming scenes Craig will rape Lydia, in a storyline which Karen Blick has described as \u2018one of the most important and sensitive stories I have been part of during my time in Emmerdale.\u2019<\/p>\n
