1. Becky’s festive game plan

Becky reckons Christmas is the perfect excuse for Lisa to shove thoughts of Carla firmly on the naughty list. When Lisa starts moaning about a stiff neck, Becky steps in with a hands-on solution, and things quickly drift from massage to mistletoe territory.

A kiss lands on the back of Lisa’s neck… but will Lisa melt or pull away?

Sensing an opening, Becky tempts Lisa with the idea that nothing (and no one) is stopping them from slipping back into their old ways. Trouble is, Lisa’s heart has other plans.

Behind Becky’s back, she fires off an emotional text to Carla, declaring her love and promising she’ll do whatever it takes to win her back. Awkward.

2. Maggie snoops and strikes gold

Adam encourages Eva to pour her heart out onto paper, suggesting a letter might help clear her head. Bad timing though as Alya walks in and Adam panics, thrusting a jewellery box at Eva and begging her to stash it away. It’s Alya’s Christmas pressie, after all.

Watching from the sidelines, Maggie Driscoll’s curiosity goes into overdrive. She later digs through Eva’s handbag, hoping for scandal… only to find a sweetly engraved necklace for Alya. Disappointed, she goes to put it back and then strikes gold. Eva’s letter tumbles out.

After reading its explosive contents, Maggie’s festive spirit turns positively mischievous. She then insists Adam and Alya simply MUST join the family for Christmas dinner. And Maggie never insists without a reason…

3. A bleak Christmas for Carl

Carl Webster opens up to James, admitting his mum’s death sent him spiralling – booze, regret and a text he wishes he’d never sent.

But instead of sympathy, James delivers a chilling threat. He might just tell Abi everything. Can Carl stop the truth from ruining more than just Christmas?

4. Joanie and Shanice surprise their mum

Meanwhile, Sally, Brody, Joanie and Shanice brave the cold outside the prison, holding up a homemade banner reading ‘Happy Christmas Mumin the hope that Lou catches sight of it on the security cameras. Proof that even behind bars, the season of goodwill still finds a way.

5. Theo wants Todd to put in the work

Horrible Theo tries to make festive small talk by asking Todd if he’s looking forward to Christmas, but Todd neatly dodges the question, banging on instead about how good it feels to be back at work. Theo clocks the deflection straight away, and he’s not impressed.

The tension ramps up later when Theo arrives home buried under shopping bags and casually announces he’s invited half the Street round for Christmas dinner… and yes, he’ll be handling the cooking. Todd’s reaction says it all. A surprise feast he didn’t ask for? Hard pass.
