"Emmerdale recorded its best ratings in over a month last night (July 9) for Alicia&amp;#039;s court sentence. The Yorkshire soap logged 6.79m (34%) for its standalone Monday episode at 7pm and 138k (0.6%) on ITV1 +1 as Alicia was sent to prison for punching Val.  Emmerdale, which pulled in its highest figures since June 7, has been severely dented by airing opposite the BBC&amp;#039;s coverage of Euro 2012 and Wimbledon at various times over the last few weeks. Coronation Street topped the soap ratings with 8.38m (38.8%) for the arrival of Carla&amp;#039;s brother Rob at 7.30pm (+1: 158k/0.7%), while 8.18m (34.8%) indulged in Peter Barlow&amp;#039;s woes at 8.30pm (+1: 242k/1%). EastEnders managed a decent 7.92m (34.7%) for  the entrance of Masood brother&amp;#039;s AJ at 8pm, then 686k (3.5%) tuned in for BBC Three&amp;#039;s 10pm repeat.  Meanwhile, Hollyoaks attracted 1.04m (5.6%) to Channel 4 at 6.30pm, after which E4&amp;#039;s first look grabbed 578k (2.9%) at 7pm (+1: 123k/0.5%). Returning after a fortnight off, Doctors delivered 1.29m (17.9%) to BBC One at 1.45pm for an episode titled &amp;#039;Survivors&amp;#039;. Elsewhere, Neighbours soared to 710k (9.5%) and 1.03m (7.1%) for its respective lunchtime and teatime screenings, while Home and Away nabbed 770k (4.5%) and 436k (2.4%) for 5*&amp;#039;s first look.
