Plot[]
Christmas Day: Ryan helps Amy to unwrap her presents, watched by Steve and Michelle. David tells Gail he already has the DVD that she bought him. Fiz finds a present hidden under the bed - she puts it under the tree. Bill and Audrey arrive at No.13, Bill and Kevin plan an escape to the Rovers. Rosie uses the pub as an excuse to get out of the house to see John. Kirk and Chesney follow Becky into the cafe. They bring their new skateboards, a Yule log and a burnt joint of beef. Becky feels proud as she gives a card to Roy. Jason tells Sarah he agrees they should go to Italy. David is suspicious. John sneaks out of the flat to meet Rosie. He takes a present from under the tree. Rosie insists that John takes her out in the car. Becky rounds up Chesney, Roy and Kirk for a game of "Murder". Steve asks Jim to stay for Christmas dinner but Jim declines. John and Rosie pull up in a quiet spot, Rosie again tells John to dump Fiz. Darryl shows an interest in Lauren, they get talking. Fiz calls John on his mobile wondering where he's got to. John lies and says he'll be home in a minute. Fiz becomes a little suspicious. Fiz opens the present she found under the bed. It contains some sexy underwear several sizes too small for her. Fiz is distraught thinking it's meant for Sally. Rosie opens her present from John to find it's some huge pyjamas. John panics realising he's muddled up the presents. Fiz storms round to the Websters' and accuses Sally of having an affair with John. Sally denies it just as Rosie walks in with a present wrapped in the same paper. Sally and Kevin realise to their horror John's been having an affair with Rosie. Kevin thumps John in the street and Bill has to drag him off. The police call at No.13 and arrest Kevin for alleged assault. Kirk chokes on a coin and Becky gives him the Heimlich manoeuvre. Sarah and Jason tell Stephen that they would like to take him up on his offer. Tony tells Carla he's taking her to Paris. Sally's disgusted with Rosie and slaps her across the face. Roy finally gets the phone call he has been waiting for - from Hayley.
