Coronation Street opened up a healthy lead over EastEnders on Friday evening (February 15).
The Weatherfield soap appealed to 8.7m (38.4%) at 7.30pm as well as 269,000 on ITV +1, before 8.38m (34.6%) returned at 8.30pm and 224k on timeshift.
EastEnders could only muster 7.26m (31.6%) for an episode centred around the Alfie-Kat-Roxy storyline, while BBC Three's 10.30pm repeat grabbed 489k (3%).
