Gail's delighted when Nick returns home

It's Christmas Eve and Rosie's excitedly unwrapping her birthday presents. Sophie's impressed by what she sees and hopes that her presents will be as good as her sister's.

Kevin, meanwhile, is worried about Molly, while no-one notices that Sally seems a little preoccupied. Still furious at Kevin for going to Paris with Sally, Molly tells him that it's over between them.

Meanwhile, Tina's feeling guilty after snogging Nick and when Jason apologises for their argument the previous day, she readily accepts and says sorry, too.

There is a dodgy moment, though, when Jason asks David how he hurt his arm but David covers for Tina, claiming that he sprained it. Tina's grateful for his discretion and it's clear that there's a thaw in their relationship.

Nick arrives at the Platts' and Gail's delighted to have her prodigal son home for the festive period. David, however, is certainly not best pleased to see him.

Over at The Rovers, the regulars have gathered for the fourth panto and with the last one being over 20 years ago, nobody knows quite what to expect - perhaps with the exception of Betty, who's had a starring role in more than one production!

As the curtain goes up, the scene is set by John Stape and Cinderella begins. It goes like a dream, with few minor hitches - until Amy takes to the stage to sing her song at the ball.

When she forgets her lines, she remembers one very choice word that she's obviously heard Becky utter on more than one occasion!
