Episode 4318 (17th December 1997)

Plot
Shannon's cries annoy Liam Shepherd but Zoe is happy that they're a family at last. Liam tells her to face reality - they've got nothing to offer the baby. Liz turns to Jim for help, telling him everything's falling apart for her and she feels lonely, useless and old. Liam thinks they should sell Shannon back to the Malletts so she can grow up having nice things. Jim gently points out to Liz that she can't run to him every time she has a set back. Les takes possession of a live turkey, telling horrified Janice it's their Christmas dinner. Kevin demands to know how much time Chris spent with his daughters and accuses Sally of sneaking her toy-boy in and out of the house. She tells him he has no right to accuse her of anything. Liam tells the Malletts they can have "Katie" back for £2,000. Gary throws him out, telling Judy they'll always be paying. Judy is upset that he won't consider the idea. Sally tells Kevin he's played right into Natalie's hands; she knows he thinks more about his injured pride than her or the girls. She tells him he makes her sick. Behind Gary's back, Judy tells Liam she'll get the money for him.
