There's a stash of money goes missing at the factory and as it's the girls
Christmas party money, they're not best pleased. It goes missing at the
same time that Angela starts talking about the computer they're buying for
their young wotsit me laddo (why can't I even remember his name?) and the
girls point stubby fingers of suspicion at Angela and lay the blame squarely
on her head. They're wrong, of course, as Frankie had taken the cash to
the bank not realising it was the party money. Anyway, the girls realise
their mistake only too late and they aren't over the moon at Underworld when
the Christmas party knees-up turns into a downer. That is, until Danny
sends Hayley to get Angela to come along, which she does and then the party
kicks into full swing. A time for sentimentality and too much cheap
plonk, Mike Baldwin and Janice get cosy under the mistletoe and he offers
free kisses all round: "I'm a pussy cat!" he yells as Sean zooms in for a
kiss with his mistletoe and a cry of "Here, kitty, kitty!". Much mirth ensues
and they all end up on the floor doing Whoops Upside Your Head or whatever
it's called. Karen's been on the orange juice now that she's pregnant and
although she's not drinking she joins in with the dancing. But it all
ends in tears; Karen starts to have pains and ends up miscarrying the baby
in the factory loo.
Ashley was planning on Nick coming up to be his best man but Nick rings
to say he's not coming so what's he to do? Well, Claire arranges for Tyrone
to best man as it'll impress Maria but she doesn't tell Ashley, who asks
Martin to be his best man. When Fred hears Ashley asking baby Josh to be
his best man, he assumes Ashley is talking to him, not the babby, and agrees
to the duty now that Yvonne is giving the bride away and he's not needed
there. So now Ashley's got three best men for the wedding on Christmas day.
They decide to chivvy up the chores between the three of them and throw
a coin to decide on who gives the speech. In order to decide who throws
the coin, they have a game of darts and draw straws to decide who's going
to throw first. It's a right old malarky.
Charlie continues to pick faults with Shelley where there are none and
offers himself as her only salvation. Shelley of course, knows what he's
doing's wrong but is too weak to argue. Meanwhile Jason and Violet
have a heart to heart and he tells her he loves her. She pulls away
and says she wants nowt to do with him then admits she's had her heart broken
by an older, married man in the past and didn't want to get too involved
with Jason just yet.
Katy's in the Rovers with some of the young 'uns and kisses Warren under
the mistletoe in full view of Martin who walks in just in time to see this.
It all goes wonderfully wrong for Martin and Katy, she accuses him of acting
like a kid and he accuses her of acting her age. To get revenge on young
Warren, Martin kicks him in the knee in a game of football on the cobbles
and tells him to keep away from his girlfriend in future. Warren's
on crutches and Danny's not happy. He has a go at Martin in the Rovers, telling
him he's a disgrace for lusting after a school girl. When Martin gets back
to the flat Sarah's there to thump a bit of sense into her step dad and tells
him to grow up. Gail, of course, comes round to gloat too.
Cilla finds Chesney looking at ladies lingerie in the catalogue so tells
Les he has to have a word with the boy about the birds and the bees. In
a wonderful scene, Les does his best but Chesney does better and ends up
telling the facts of life to Les. Les is astounded, he didn't know
half this stuff and he certainly didn't know that Chesney was so academic.
Cilla decides that posh Oakhill is the place for Chesney to go and gets
herself an invite to the Christmas fayre. Ah, yes, the Christmas
fayre. When Sally finds out she's not happy that the likes of the Battersbys
are thinking of sending Chesney to the same school as Rosie. "The
only thing we have in common with the Battersbys is our poost coode" says
Sally with a flick of her hair in the direction of her working class husband.
Sally's cooking up a storm for the fayre and putting all the best stuff she
can lay her hands on in the food parcels for the needy to be given away at
the School and forgets to buy anything for the family tea. To
get some attention young Sophie invents an invisible friend, Ebony Rae, whom
Sally ends up killing when she's sucked up by the hoover.
And that's just about that for this week. Merry
Christmas.
