Episode 6190 (23rd December 2005)

Plot
The factory workers try to convince Danny and Mike to let them off early so they can go for Christmas drinks. Mike struggles to add up the workers' bonuses, upsetting Penny as he is being forgetful again. What Penny doesn't know is that Mike has bought a Diamond engagement ring but when he realises he's left the ring at Underworld, he goes to get it but when he arrives at the office he forgets why he's there.

When Steve asks Tracy if he can see Amy on Christmas Day, Tracy winds him up and tells him Amy is with Deirdre. When Ken and Steve confront Tracy she admits Amy is at nursery and she doesn't think Steve, Ken or Deirdre should see her on Christmas Day, but she gives in at Charlie's suggestion that she allow it in exchange for everybody backing off about her and Charlie.

Meanwhile, Rita and Emily go to Rev Ashbourne's final service. Ed drives them home from church, but Emily tells Rita he is only nice to her because he sees her as a good cause, a lonely old widow.

Carol is upset that Jamie sees his present early, a ring engraved 'love from Mum'. He says he likes it, but his face falls when she suggests they move in together. Elsewhere, Steve leaves Ronnie with the impression he's got serious money worries.
