Emmerdale topped a relatively low-rating evening for the soaps on Thursday (July 24) as Finn Barton found himself in serious danger, overnight figures show.
4.59m (29.1%) watched at 7pm on ITV and 100k (0.6%) on +1 as mystery newcomer Brad kidnapped Finn and tried to kill him, while the audience increased to 4.67m (26.6%) at 8pm and 239k (1.3%) on +1 as Finn was rescued and rushed to hospital.
