Amidst the John Sugden drama in Emmerdale this Christmas Day, there was also some merriment, a secret bubbling away and a huge Corriedale hint…

Chas’s Christmas Day gift in Emmerdale

Liam gave Chas a cardigan. She does love wearing cardigans but apparently she was not impressed with this one. But the big news is, he also gave her a murder mystery evening at a hotel.

And where is the hotel? Only in Weatherfield! What are the chances the event is on Monday January 5, eh?

Ray and Laurel were all loved up

Ray arrived to see Laurel, but Rhona was not happy at all to see them together. Laurel, however, was ecstatic to have Ray by her side and the feeling was clearly mutual.

Ray gifted her an expensive bracelet and Nicola and Jimmy arrived to play charades. Ray had clearly never played it before and had no idea of the rules. It was touching and sweet – and oh so awful because he is not a nice guy.

Vanessa wanted to blow Charity’s secret this Christmas Day – but John got there first

Vanessa arrived at Charity’s for Christmas clearly unhappy to be there and downed her drink.

Things soon got pretty raucous as everyone drunk more and more. A very inebriated Vanessa wanted to play truth or dare. Then she suggested never have I ever. Charity knew she was on borrowed time as she steered Vanessa out for some fresh air.

Vanessa told Charity she had to come clean, but Charity was adamant Sarah wants the baby. And who was listening? Only John Sugden – he really does get everywhere, doesn’t he?

He wrote a note to Mack revealing the truth. So is this how the baby secret will come out?

Kim made amends

Kim was drinking alone looking at pictures of Will. Lydia turned up again and walked in despite Kim not answering the door. She apologised for overreacting. And it seemed Kim was starting to soften slightly. She then broke down as Lydia gave her a hug.

Kim went to visit Will’s grave, as did Dawn and Joe and they all finally made up. Kim suggested they move back in.

Kim, Dawn and Joe then went to the Dingles’ for Christmas lunch! Kim gave Lydia and Sam their jobs back. They even made Kim drink from the welly – and she did!

Kim then decided Lydia would still inherit Home Farm. Aw, what a lovely Christmas Day!

Also in Emmerdale this Christmas Day

Jacob was still sulking over Kerry and Pollard hijacking their wedding day. Jacob would not let it go and raged at Pollard as he tried to get in the festive spirit.

Kerry and Pollard departed for the Dingles’ where they enjoyed festive lunch – and lots of questions – with Kyle and the family.

Claudette and Jimmy bonded over lost family at the cemetery. Cain also went to visit Nate’s grave. Cain then gifted Kyle a car to do up together.

Dylan was home from hospital and Mandy and Paddy brought him to Rhona and Marlon. Paddy was upset over missing Bear.

But things for Bear were pretty grim as Christmas at the farm was far from festive. None of them even knew if it was Christmas Day or not.

Back at Marlon’s April was under pressure from Celia over the move. She called Celia and told them she would go if they left her family alone.
