British soaps have been impacted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in the UK and around the world.
For now, all four soaps - Emmerdale, EastEnders, Coronation Street and Hollyoaks - have halted filming.
With fears episodes could run out soon, the shows have all reduced the amount of episodes they air weekly.
EastEnders and Hollyoaks air two new episodes a week on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Meanwhile, Emmerdale and Corrie have stuck with three episodes per week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Now, soap fans have been treated with more soap content to fill the time.
EastEnders is airing past episodes of the BBC soap on the Drama channel, giving plenty of nostalgia to fans.
These air at lunchtime in a double bill, and currently the episodes airing are from the early 90s.
Hollyoaks have also opted a similar approach, airing some of their best and biggest episodes from their history in replacement of the newer stuff on E4.
These episodes air at 7pm Wednesdays to Fridays, taking the time slot the soap would normally take.
Emmerdale and Coronation Street actually started airing re-runs on ITV3 last year, before the lockdown.
But the episodes will no doubt be welcomed by viewers who are missing their normal soap fix.
Two episodes of both soaps air in the early afternoon, before being repeated early the next morning.
Both Corrie and Emmerdale, like EastEnders, are airing episodes from the 90s.
The full soap repeats schedule is as follows:
Coronation Street - Mondays to Fridays, 2:50pm and 3:20pm, and 6am and 6:25am
EastEnders - Mondays to Fridays, 1pm and 1:40pm
Emmerdale - Mondays to Fridays, 1:45pm and 2:15pm, and 7am and 7:30am
Hollyoaks - 7pm Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
Current EastEnders and Hollyoaks episodes air Mondays and Tuesdays, while Emmerdale and Coronation Street air Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
