Plot
Robert finds himself being off with Tracy and decides to visit Rob to set his mind at ease. Todd answers Tracy's phone to Rob. Tracy pretends it's the first time he's called but Todd isn't fooled and gets the whole story from her. Tyrone insists that the Lapland project goes ahead. The residents get to work on transforming the street. Todd can't believe that Tracy is defending Rob after what he did. The factory staff get in training for the ping-pong tournament with O'Driscolls. Beth reveals to Aidan that Kirk has trophies for ping-pong. David goes Christmas shopping and bumps into Marion Logan and a police officer; her purse has been stolen. Feeling sorry for her, David treats her to a coffee but struggles to contain his guilt when she talks about having nowhere to go for Christmas after falling out with her sister over Callum. He offers to bring Max over to visit her. As David is late arriving home, Nick drives the Platts to the panto in his van. Sally tells Anna that she and Tim want to spend their first Christmas as a married couple alone and asks her to break the news to Faye. Kylie thinks David missed the panto deliberately and tells him they're over. Anna is gutted after seeing Kevin and Joanne returning from their second date. Leanne spots Robert's visiting order and gets him to confide in her about Rob. David feels that Callum has succeeded in tearing his family apart.
