As the parties kick off, Viv is upset that her event is not as successful as the pub\u2019s \u2013 mostly because she doesn\u2019t have a licence to sell alcohol!<\/p>\n
Angry Viv turns up at the pub with her bucket and guilt trips everyone into making a donation for her charity instead.<\/p>\nBelle\u2019s panto hits a snag when lots of the villagers come down with food poisoning (Credit: ITV\/Shutterstock)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n
Pantomime drama!<\/h2>\n The following day, the villagers are all stricken with food poisoning after the Christmas parties. Viv and Marlon realise they bought their meat from the same source \u2013 the Dingles!<\/p>\n
But the sickness means half of Belle\u2019s cast aren\u2019t able to perform in the pantomime. She makes a desperate attempt to get some last-minute replacements on board, signing up Jasmine, Eric and Viv.<\/p>
<\/div><\/div>\n
Things are tricky though as Jasmine gets fed up with Viv making changes to the script.<\/p>\nPerdy visits Matthew in prison (Credit: ITV\/Shutterstock)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMatthew\u2019s getting desperate!<\/h2>\n Jimmy and Carl go to visit Matthew in prison, but he\u2019s in a bad way. He demands to see Perdy, and rants about being set up by Grayson.<\/p>\n
Later, Perdy is shocked when she finds a malicious viral email against Matthew on Gray\u2019s computer, which has been copied to all of the Kings\u2019 clients.<\/p>\n
When she asks Gray about it, his shifty behaviour makes her wonder whether he could have set up Matthew.<\/p>
<\/div><\/div>\n
Perdy sneaks off to visit Matthew in prison but he\u2019s upset that she doubts his innocence.<\/p>\n
Matthew insists that the evidence against him could easily have been planted by somone. He makes it clear that he believes Gray is responsible.<\/p>\n
Perdy listens but insists she has to leave, Matthew pleading with her not to give up on him as she heads off. She later admits to Carl that Gray was responsible for the viral email.<\/p>
<\/div><\/div>\n
She begins to search for evidence to confirm her suspicions and she\u2019s horrified to find Rosemary\u2019s cardigan and a letter that proves she\u2019s alive and kicking in Gray\u2019s briefcase!<\/p>\n
Panicking that Perdy\u2019s on to him, Gray disappears with the case, intending to burn the contents. But he\u2019s shocked when he discovers it\u2019s empty.<\/p>\n
Katie\u2019s furious<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n
With everything out in the open, Perdy leaves Gray for Matthew. When Katie finds out, she is furious and she demands to know where that leaves her as she thought she was carrying a baby for a committed couple.<\/p>\n
She confronts Perdy and threatens to have an abortion now that everything has changed. Terrified of losing another baby, Perdy tells Gray to sort things out with Katie, or she\u2019ll tell the police about his attempts to set up Matthew.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Jimmy and Carl are surprised when Matthew tells them that he\u2019s asked Perdy to move in with him. Worried things are moving too fast, they ask Matthew if he\u2019s sure, but he refuses to back down and insists that he will stand by Perdy and her unborn baby.<\/p>
<\/div><\/div>\n
Later, Gray begs Katie to keep the baby but she insists she was carrying the child for him and Perdy, not Perdy and Matthew.<\/p>\n
And Rosemary really is dead!<\/h2>\n But things change when Grayson gets the terrible news that Rosemary has taken her own life in America.<\/p>
<\/div><\/div>\n
Katie comforts a distraught Grayson and when he begs her to keep the baby, she agrees.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Perdy is stunned when she learns about Rosemary\u2019s death, but she is honest when she admits that she\u2019s happy that her ruthless mother-in-law will no longer be around. Matthew is shocked by Perdy\u2019s harsh words.<\/p>\n
Are Jack and Diane over for good?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n
At the Woolpack, Diane\u2019s full of Christmas spirit but the rest of the Sugdens are awkward. But eventually the champagne flows and things start to improve. And then there\u2019s a knock on the door\u2026<\/p>\n
After Christmas, with Jack and Diane on the rocks, Victoria\u2019s delighted. But Val defends Diane when Victoria crows over her sister being dumped.<\/p>\n
She confronts Jack about what\u2019s happened, and begs him to give Diane another chance. Soon, Val realises that Jack is as devastated as Diane about their break-up.<\/p>
<\/div><\/div>\n
But Diane is dealt another blow when Jack considers an offer on the cottage from the Dolands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
