Tracy McDonald (Kate Ford) is unimpressed to realise that she is cooking Christmas dinner for ten people, and a joke about relationship gap years causes friction between her and husband Steve (Simon Gregson).<\/p>\n

Chesney and Todd fear Paul\u2019s had a fall as they break down the door of the flat, and get more than they bargained for!<\/p>\n

Later, Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) video calls the family from prison, and they sing \u2018Away in a Manger\u2019 together. Elsewhere, the Platts and Websters take their seats at the Bistro and peruse the menu. Will the day be harmonious for them?<\/p>\n

Our Hero\u2019. Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) invites the Baileys to join her family at Speed Daal for Christmas lunch.<\/p>\n

As the week continues, Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) calls round to explain the police haven\u2019t been able to trace the burglar. Joel Deering (Calum Lill) tells Ed he\u2019s got a wealthy client who\u2019s looking for a decent and honest builder, so he\u2019ll put in a good word for him.<\/p>\n

Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) and Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) present Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell) with a Wendy house for little Glory, saying they clubbed together and bought it from a pawn shop. But Michael recognises it as the same one stolen from his house, and reports the finding to Craig.<\/p>\n

The family later reel from the discovery that Ed has been gambling, and Michael wants his dad out of the house. Dee-Dee is furious that Joel and Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) both knew about the gambling, while Ed confides in Todd that his family hates him over his gambling, but they don\u2019t know the worst.<\/p>\n

Ed decides to come clean, and in the aftermath, Dee-Dee tells Ed he can\u2019t stay on her sofa forever and they need to call a family meeting to come up with a solution. But Michael won\u2019t hear of Ed moving back home, while Sarge Bailey (Ram John Holder) realises something needs to be done.<\/p>\n

Ed admits to Dee-Dee that he\u2019s sad to lose the builder\u2019s yard, but clearing his debts is his priority and he\u2019s going to a gambling support group.<\/p>\n

The returning Damon offers Ed a job renovating the bar, and reveals he\u2019s getting his money from the Bistro so he can pay Ed before the yard is sold. Dee-Dee is alarmed that her dad has struck a deal with Damon and urges Ed to stay away from him. But will he listen?<\/p>\n

Ty senses Evelyn\u2019s fears as she refuses to go to the hearing, claiming she is busy.<\/p>\n

She almost knocks over a lad called Bobby, who later calls round to tell her that he\u2019s Rob Donovan\u2019s (Marc Baylis) son! Bobby spins Carla a sob story, but Rob phones and puts her in the picture. Carla agrees that Bobby can stay for a few weeks if he plays by her rules.<\/p>\n

A van later pulls up, and Bobby realises his mum has sent on all his possessions. Carla is gutted as it dawns on her that Bobby is going nowhere, but Simon offers his bedroom and announces he\u2019ll go and live with his mum.<\/p>\n

Carla soon finds Bobby in the Chariot Square bar chatting up Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney), and drags him home. Carla finds him helping himself to her wine and insists he must find a job.

Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) puts her earpods in and refuses to engage, and Alya and Yasmeen Metcalfe (Shelley King) worry for her, knowing how upset she was when dad Dom Everett (Darren Morfitt) failed to show up for Christmas.<\/p>\n

But Stu feels wretched, and leaves Dom a message telling him Eliza is very upset and he thinks he made a mistake. Stu finally admits to Yasmeen that he\u2019s to blame for Dom\u2019s disappearing act as he paid him \u00a310k to stay away from Eliza, thinking it was in her best interests, and now Dom won\u2019t come back.<\/p>\n

Yasmeen is horrified and she confides in Roy about Stu\u2019s deceitful behaviour, and how yet again she\u2019s fallen for a man who does nothing but lie to her.

Gary Windass (Mikey North) hangs Betty Williams\u2019s (Betty Driver) picture back on the wall in pride of place, and the staff compare their \u2018bad taste\u2019 outfits but one resident is less than impressed with their costumes.<\/p>\n

Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) drops Harry off with Sarah (Tina O\u2019Brien). Noting that she\u2019s dressed to the nines, Adam assumes she\u2019s got a date and pretends he\u2019s got one too! In the Bistro, Adam and Sarah admit neither of them has a hot date lined up.<\/p>\n

When Adam offers to buy Sarah a glass of champagne, Sarah accepts and it\u2019s clear the pair still have feelings for each other. Following his panic attack, Adam assures Sarah he\u2019s feeling better, and Sarah suggests they meet for a drink as Adam is hopeful for a fresh start with his wife.<\/p>\n

In the pub, Sarah looks up panic attacks and promises Adam they will tackle his anxiety together, but later they don\u2019t notice Damon watching them. As Adam heads for his office, he\u2019s followed by a man, and Adam finds himself tied up in the back of a van!<\/p>\n

Adam later tips off the police when he sees a carefree Damon strolling into the Bistro to ask Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) and Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) for the money he gave brother Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor) to invest in the Bistro.<\/p>\n

Craig questions Damon about Adam\u2019s kidnapping, and Sarah has no time to take it all in when Adam tells Sarah what happened, as Craig arrives.

Jenny reveals that Daniel slept with Bethany the night before, and Gail, Sarah and David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) are stunned. Bethany later confronts Damon and calls him a homewrecker, and makes a sneering comment to Daisy about the empty pub, leading Daisy to offer punters a free drink with every hotpot purchased.<\/p>\n
