One of the best things about Christmas Day and New Year's Day is settling down in your favourite chair in front of the TV for a solid 10 hours. Soap fans particularly look forward to these special days, as it signifies possibly the most dramatic day of the year for storylines with everything that's been going on the past year normally coming to a head.
However, for fans of more than one soap - as is normally the case - the upcoming New Year's Day specials have presented something of an issue, as Coronation Street and EastEnders are scheduled for the SAME TIME.
This is completely unheard of, as TV scheduling normally allows for soap fans to watch all the soaps in succession - but this time around, people will be forced to choose between watching an hour of Coronation Street and an hour of EastEnders, as they'll both be airing at 8pm on New Year's Day.
Of course, some fans of the shows have already taken to Twitter to express their disbelief, with many branding it a 'nightmare' scenario. One wrote, 'Oh NO! Corrie and EastEnders on at same time New Year's Day - thought the reason for exchanging schedules was to avoid such things.'
Another added, 'EastEnders and Corrie both clashing with each other on New Year's Day for a full hour, how often does that happen?'
