Episode 6454 (24th December 2006)

Plot
When David discovers that Sophie’s ‘messages from the past’ are coming from his grandmother’s diary, he demands that she hands it over to him. However, when he reads that Gail had planned to have him aborted he is furious.

As Les and Yana climb into their bath of cold mushy peas (bought on a discount from the chippy!) on Christmas Eve, Cilla watches on in glee. As it gets later and colder, Cilla decides that they should stay until midnight to raise more money! Janice, who is also thoroughly enjoying Les’s humiliation, backs up Cilla for once and pledges her last tenner if they stay put! As midnight approaches and they finally clamber out, Cilla watches in delight as they realise that their robes are missing! Meanwhile, Fiz tells Kirk how upset she is that this could be her last Christmas with her mum. Over at The Rovers, Michelle had a great time last night with Sonny and is looking forward to their next date. So, when a hopeful Steve comes over with a bunch of flowers to apologise for standing her up and to arrange another date, Michelle has to inform him she’s met someone else and has plans.

Meanwhile, Deirdre becomes more worried about Tracy when she leaves Amy with Steve for Christmas. And the Websters and Platts busily prepare for their joint celebrations.
