Episode 7233 (18th December 2009)

Plot
Audrey and Norris arrive at the Weatherfield Traders' Association Christmas lunch and Audrey's pleased to bump into her old friend Claudia and her charming partner Lewis. Audrey's shocked, however, when Claudia reveals that Lewis is, in fact, an escort. With that, Claudia gives Audrey his card.

Hayley calls a meeting of the factory girls and persuades them to cut Carla a bit of slack and give her a second chance. Carla's grateful when Fiz, Sean, Julie and Hayley tell her they're willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Meanwhile, it's a bad day for Molly as first Tyrone buys a huge Christmas tree and tells her about the miserable Christmases that he had to endure as a child. He goes on to say that he wants this Christmas to be extra special. Later, Molly's devastated when she discovers that Kevin and Sally are heading off on a trip somewhere.

Rosie's looking forward to her first night as a promotions girl and parades round in her provocative outfit, much to Kevin's disapproval.

Elsewhere, Gail and Joe set their wedding date for 2nd January but Audrey's not best pleased and decides to give Nick a call; and an embarrassed Ben feels uncomfortable in Michelle's company and decides that it's time he move back home.
