ITV is running low on episodes of Coronation Street, meaning the soap may not run past July, according to reports.
Filming of the hit show - which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year - was suspended on March 23 as the cast and crew headed into lockdown.
As a result, to try and prolong the length of time it would be on air, episodes were reduced to three a week instead of six.
Soap site Eastieoaks claims that Coronation Street had 21 episodes left to run - and after one episode aired last night, this would mean there are only 20 left.

With the store cupboards of episodes dwindling, this would mean the soap will come off air at the very beginning of July.
Standard Online has contacted a Coronation Street spokesperson for comment.
ITV boss Kevin Lygo previously claimed there are enough Corrie episodes to last through June if filming doesn't recommence.
ITV also recently stated the channel was in the "final stages" of working on plans for both Emmerdale and Coronation Street return to production.
A spokeswoman said: “The health and wellbeing of our people and those who work with us has always been our highest priority and remains so as we look to restart production.
“We are in the final stages of working with others across the industry on a return to production protocol and we are in active discussions with Government on this.
“We will share more news in due course.”
The BBC is set resume filming of their flagship soap, EastEnders, by the end of June.
ITV has confirmed Emmerdale will run out of episodes at the end of May – although an exact date has not been specified.
The government has confirmed TV and film productions can start filming again if they adhere to social distancing guidelines, such as staying two metres apart on set, filming scenes with smaller groups, and cast members doing their own hair and makeup.
