Becky urges Lisa to forget about Carla and enjoy Christmas. When Lisa complains of tension in her neck, Becky gives her a massage. Becky then starts to kiss Lisa on the back of her neck. Will Lisa respond?

Becky suggests to Lisa that there’s nothing to stop them from rekindling their old life. Lisa sends Carla a text telling her how much she loves her and how she’d do anything to win her back.

Meanwhile, Adam tells Eva it might help to write down her feelings in the form of a letter. When Alya enters, Adam shoves a jewellery box at Eva and asks her to hide it as it’s Alya’s present. Maggie watches as Eva hides the box.

Maggie rifles through Eva’s handbag but she’s disappointed to find it’s a necklace engraved for Alya. However, as she puts the box back, she finds Eva’s letter. Shocked by its contents, a conniving Maggie insists Adam and Alya must join the family for Christmas dinner.

Elsewhere, Carl explains to James that he had some awful news, he got drunk and he regrets sending him a text. James threatens to spill the beans to Abi. Can Carl stop him?

Also today, when Theo asks Todd if he’s looking forward to Christmas, Todd changes the subject and remarks how good it was to be back at work. Theo bristles. Returning with stacks of shopping, Theo explains that he’s invited all their friends for Christmas dinner but he’ll be doing the cooking, how will Todd react?

Finally, Sally, Brody, Joanie and Shanice pull up outside the prison and wave a banner which reads “Happy Christmas Mum” in front of a security camera in the hope that Lou will see it. Shanice answers the phone with excitement to realise it’s her Mum. Sally and Brody are thrilled to realise their banner worked.
