Bear And Moira Are In Trouble!
The soap has been airing many intense plots lately, including Moira’s struggles and Vear’s return. These all revolve around the aftermath of Ray and Celia’s deaths. Celia died but framed Moira by forging her signature on Turkey invoices.
When Moira learned about it, she slapped her but remained unbothered. Now the police have been doubting her, thinking that she was running the human trafficking scandal.
Furthermore, Ray’s death has put Bear Wolf into trouble. The soap fans finally learned in the flashback episodes that Bear Wolf killed the drug dealer. He choked him to death. Paddy and Dylan tried to cover up the crime by bundling his body in the back of Jai’s van. But now Bear has returned, and Ruby spotted him yesterday.
Bear opened up about Anya to her. Though Paddy came and shoved her out of the door, she was dubious. She thought Anya had been murdered. So Ruby ended up calling the police. Thus, Bear Wolf is in danger.
Soap Fans Explode Due To Changes!
Elsewhere, Emmerdale and Coronation Street were relaunched in a new timeslot earlier this month. Emmerdale airs at 8 p.m. for thirty minutes while Coronation Street airs at 8:30 p.m. However, just weeks into the new schedule,s the soaps will see a shakeup again next week due to the sports coverage.
Both the soaps will be off air on Tuesday due to the Arsenal and Chelsea match as part of the Carabao Cup. Furthermore, on Thursday, ITV will air a Six Nations rugby match between France and Ireland.
Thus, the soap viewers are angry. They have been slamming ITV for the schedule shakeup. A soap fan claimed that they remember the episodes being moved to other times because of Football. However, now it seems like the new standard is simply no episode at all due to the sports coverage. Meanwhile, a second one wrote that it is so painful. Thus, there are very few shows that they keep airing them off.
Another one added that they are silly to cut all the extra episodes, going from 6 to 5 per week. However, now every other week it seems that they lose another episode. Another slammed that the whole new schedule is a ploy to tear their beloved episodes away from them. Meanwhile, share your opinions about it in the comments.
