Festive spirit?

And Debbie wonders if Charity is behind the attack!

Jai also comes under suspicion and he challenges DI Fletcher to either charge him or to let him go!

The peelers then focus their attention on John, and when Cain is rushed into hospital with a clot in his brain, John is informed that he could be facing a trial for murder!

Amy also finds herself being questioned but Pollard and Val leap to her defence asking the police how, indeed, a young lady in her condition could have carried out such a serious assault.

Meanwhile, Debbie's mood keeps changing (what else is new), for one minute she is accusing Charity and the next she is DEMANDING that "Aundy" come over because she is ovulating.

Aaron returns to the village and when he finds out what's been going on, has to be restrained by Adam for taking a swing at John.

Then, with Aaron at his bedside, doesn't Cain begin to come round.

The police arrive and Cain tells them that Jai attacked him but is the dirty, devious Dingle telling the truth?

Laurel and Ashley's plans for the renewal of their wedding vows come unstuck as she breaks down and empties her whole stomach to Nicola.

Wee Belle is impressed when Sean steals Ruby's car to take her to the hospital and Val is more determined than ever to change Amy's mind about keeping the baby.

Papa don't preach!!!

Meanwhile over in Weatherfield, Leanne is worried sick when Peter does not come home, unaware that he has spent the night at Carla's.

Lloyd and Stella feel really awkward around each other and their embarrassment is made worse when Karl suggests that she invite Lloyd over for Christmas.

Owen sees his chance to get revenge on the hallion David Platt and his scrubber wife Kylie.

He has a load of Christmas trees dumped on his drive just as the social worker is due to call!

Meanwhile, Kirsty and Tyrone are all loved up now that she has moved in bag and baggage but it is not too long before she and Tina clash again.

Peter returns and tries to provoke Leanne into dumping him but will it work? He was always a two timing, lying, cheating bigamist! Not that I was ever one for casting up....

And with Lloyd on the point of departure, Tracy is mad as hell to discover that Becky is using her divorce settlement to buy into the cab company.

As Frank's trail draws ever closer, Carla goes to see her solicitor and is shocked to learn that her relationship with Peter could, well and truly, jeopardize proceedings!

Jason flips his lid on learning that statuesque Eileen has invited Paul and Lesley to their Christmas dinner and he angrily announces that he will be heading round to the Websters' instead.

But will his momma listen?

And a paranoid Tracy follows Steve and Becky to the hotel but she is overcome by abdominal pains and rushed to hospital!

All in all, a lovely run up to Christmas!!!!!!!!!
