Episode 6716 (25th December 2007)

Plot
It’s Christmas Day and as Sally busily prepares for the family lunch, Rosie sneaks out to meet John who has lied to Fiz that he needs to buy nutmeg for the Christmas dinner. Upon meeting a panicked John, Rosie demands to know what the score is with Fiz, as she wants a proper relationship and she wants him to dump Fiz asap.

Back on the street, Fiz is excited about spending the day with her perfect man and hasn’t been able to resist the temptation of opening her presents but is baffled when she unwraps some sexy lingerie meant for a petite woman, who she instantly assumes is Sally. Storming over the road she thrusts the gift at a puzzled Sally claiming that its proof she's having an affair with her boyfriend. Meanwhile, when Rosie opens her present and finds a large pair of frumpy flannelette pyjamas, John’s horrified as it dawns on him he’s given Rosie Fiz’s present and left Rosie’s at home with Fiz.

Flustered, he races back to the flat, practically throwing Rosie out of the car, but in the Webster's, the two women begin throwing the underwear back and forth as Fiz continues to accuse and Sally continues to deny the allegation. When Rosie arrives home clutching the pyjamas that were meant for Fiz, there’s an awful silence as it dawns on everyone who the sexy underwear was meant for. Kevin is fuming and storms out of the house followed by Rosie and a devastated Fiz. When John appears, Kevin dismisses his excuses and instantly knocks him to the ground and continues to pummel him.

Bill manages to pull Kevin off him and Sally drags Rosie home, while distraught Fiz leaves John lying on the ground and seeks comfort in Chesney and Kirk. Back at the Websters', everyone’s in shock that the affair has been going on under their noses and are stunned when the police arrive to arrest Kevin for assault. Sally’s left alone amidst the debris of a ruined Christmas day, but it’s not just Christmas that’s been ruined.

Over at the Rovers, Michelle is determined to stay cheerful and tries to enjoy Christmas day for Ryan’s sake. However, Steve and Liam can see through her overly happy façade and although she claims she’s fine, she’s clearly suffering.

David’s Christmas presents do nothing to alleviate his sense of injustice while Sarah desperately tries to convince Jason that moving to Italy is a great idea. Seeing how important it is to her Jason finally agrees to make the move. Sarah’s ecstatic and immediately tells Stephen, but agrees to keep it a secret for the sake of a peaceful Christmas Day.

At Roy's Rolls, Roy has to face the festive season without Hayley and spends the day with Becky, Kirk and Chesney who make a distatrous attempt at cooking Christmas dinner and turn Roy's Rolls into their very own winter wonderland.
