Emmerdale star Tony Audenshaw has revealed ITV and the soap had wanted its new later airing time for a while, before making the change this month.
From this week, fans of the soap can watch it at 7:30pm every night on the channel, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays - instead of the two 30-minute episodes that normally air.
The Bob Hope actor revealed those working on the soap have been keen on the 7:30pm time slot "for a long, long time" and now they finally have it.
