This week in the UK, Coronation Street fans will finally get the opportunity to farewell Deirdre Barlow as her death and funeral episodes air.
However, New Zealand fans are in for a long wait.
TVNZ representatives confirmed that while there is no set date for Deirdre's funeral to air, it won't be this year.
While Neighbours, Home and Away and Eastenders air here only a few weeks after being screened in their home countries Kiwi fans have long had to put up with being far behind in Coronation Street. The 50th anniversary episode, which premiered in the UK in December 2010, didn't air here until July 2012.
