Episode 7756 (12th December 2011)

Plot
As Leanne frets over a still absent Peter, he wakes at Carla's. They talk about last night and it's clear they didn't have sex but there's an intense bond between these two. It's like a new dawn for both as the burden of hiding their feelings has been lifted. As they go for a walk in the park, Peter's totally honest about his feelings and how much he loves Carla. At the same time, a desperate Leanne has started calling hospitals and has given Peter's details to the police. Simon is desperate for his dad to come home for his nativity rehearsal. Meanwhile, when Owen spots a driver delivering a batch of Christmas trees for Chesney, Owen sees his chance to get revenge on David and instructs the driver to pile them on the Platts' drive. Inside, David is frantically cleaning up for a visit from social services. A social worker arrives to visit whilst David frantically tries to remove the trees from his drive. Elsewhere, Karl suspects Lloyd and Stella are having an affair; Kirsty and Tina have another row; while Jason is unimpressed when he catches Eileen writing a Christmas card to Paul and Lesley.
