Episode 7763 (23rd December 2011)

Plot
It's the day of the nativity and Katy helps Faye with her lines as Mary. Katy gets her word perfect, but as Faye prepares to go on stage, she is suddenly hit with stage fright. At the last minute, Katy is forced to take her place. Having finished a day working at the garden centre with Gary, Chesney is rushing back to see the play - with both dressed as elves. However, when Gary's van fails to start, it looks like they won't make it. On stage, the play is going brilliantly and as Katy relives the birth, the audience gasp at her realistic portrayal of labour. What they don't realise is that her 'performance' is real, and as they applaud, she cries out for an ambulance! Pandemonium ensues and as Chesney gets the call to get there quick, the elves are forced to make a run for it. Meanwhile, Sian is determined to give Sophie her dream wedding and introduces her to Father Douglas, who has agreed to give a service of celebration of their wedding in his church. Sian has cancelled the other venue as she knows what Sophie really wants is a church wedding. Elsewhere, Becky begs Tracy to tell the truth when she sees her at the nativity, while a jealous Kirsty tells Tyrone that she wants him to keep his distance from Fiz - claiming that as a copper she can't associate with criminals.
