Plot[]
Janice and Les get a Christmas card from Leanne. She is working as a waitress in Sydney and won't be back for Christmas. This puts Janice in a bad mood and she wants to cancel Christmas. Duggie convinces Mike that they should form an alliance against Fred. Fred then tries the same with Mike later. Mike agrees. Fred and Duggie later realise what he's been up to when he votes against one of Fred's ideas but not before voting in favour of Mike's idea of a big screen TV. Martin sees Rebecca Hopkins in a store. He tries to speak to her but she disappears. Les decorates the outside of their house to cheer Janice up. Glen visits Sarah. He tells her that he doesn't mind about Bethany and asks her out. After his stag night in the Rovers, Curly is arrested for being drunk and disorderly by PC Harper and PC Jones and put in the cells. This turns out to be a practical joke orchestrated by Emma. A young boy, Wayne Hayes, breaks into the cafe to steal food. He runs away before Roy can catch him. Martin makes up his mind to find Rebecca and talk to her.
