Sean and Ronnie learn the truth

Christmas Day - Part 2

Everybody around the table is stunned as Sean confronts Roxy over baby Amy's paternity. Jack soon realises that he's a father again, while Roxy stares at her plate as the seriousness of the situation finally hits home. As Roxy tries to run upstairs, Ronnie catches her and she breaks down in her sister's arms. Ronnie quizzes Roxy about Amy's father but Roxy's dismissive and feigns ignorance as to his identity. Sean heads across to the Slaters' with Roxy clinging on to his arm. Once at the house, Stacey's shocked to learn that Sean's not Amy's dad.

Marching around to The Vic, Stacey confronts Ronnie about Roxy and baby Amy and draws comparisons between the Brannings and the Mitchells. Jack quickly pushes Stacey out of the door, prompting Ronnie to question his actions. Roxy finds Sean in the launderette and is bombarded with questions as to Amy's father and the DNA test. She confesses that she was scared to tell him the truth in case she lost him - he'll always be Amy's dad to her. Sean, however, is persistent - he wants to know who Amy's father is.

Desperate to keep Sean, Roxy swears on Amy's life that the girl's biological father is nobody Sean knows. At that moment, Ronnie storms into the launderette with Jack in tow. Jack tries to persuade Ronnie to leave, but her curiosity is pricked - she wants to know why he's acting so strangely. Sean realises Jack's hiding something and the pair tussle outside and realisation hits for Sean - it's Jack, he's Amy's dad. Roxy looks on in shame as Ronnie processes the revelation.
