Emmerdale attracted 6m (29.9%) at 7pm on ITV and 119k (0.5%) on +1 as Cain uncovered Kirin's guilt. Facing Holby City, an extra Emmerdale episode later claimed 5.18m (23.1%) at 8pm and 210k (0.8%) on +1.
Holby City dipped due to the Emmerdale clash, bringing in 3.42m (14.7%) at 8pm on BBC One as Jesse had to face the consequences of his actions.
Hollyoaks interested 976k (5.1%) at 6.30pm on Channel 4 as Celine became concerned over Jason. E4's first look topped the day's multichannel ratings with 772k (3.8%) at 7pm and 115k (0.5%) on +1.
Neighbours appealed to 611k (8.4%) at 1.45pm and 798k (5.1%) at 5.30pm on Channel 5 with Paul's latest meddling in Terese's marital problems.
