Coronation Street, Rita

Coronation Street is CANCELLED on ITV tonight, much to the chagrin of Corrie viewers who are up in arms over losing their Friday fix.

We know - it's every soap fans worst nightmare.

For some of us, there's only one thing that can get us through the day - and that's the thought of settling down after tea with our pjs and cuppa on after a long day to see what's going on in either Walford, Weatherfield or The Dales.

Or all three!

But when we discover that our lovely, relaxing plans have been SCUPPERED... We take a very dim view.

And we're afraid to say, ladies and gents, that your Corrie evenings will very much be scuppered tonight.

And for what reason, we hear you ask?!

FOOTBALL.

OF ALL THE THINGS.

FOOTBALL is what stands in our way.

And isn't this literally the worst time for Coronation Street to be cancelled too?!

EVERYTHING is kicking off - and we need to see what happens to Evil Phelan.

As always, Corrie fans have taken to Twitter to express their utter outrage.

This person used the site to update fellow fans.

This viewer used a clever maths formula to work out which was more important.

This person was quite simply furious.

One quick-thinker had a better idea for the ITV scheduling team.

And this guy flipped the situation on its head.

Sigh.

We literally can't cope.

What will you be watching instead tonight now that Coronation Street will not be on? Let us know over on Facebook and Twitter.

Tracy gets pregnant

Tracy then became pregnant, and for some strange reason we can't quite remember pretended it was ROY'S baby (why oh why). She gave birth to her baby, whom Roy named Patience (bleh) but was renamed Amy when Tracy decided she wanted to give motherhood a go.
