ALL DAVID WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS, IS SHONA As Max and Lily excitedly rip open their Christmas presents, Shona gives David a six foot cuddly rabbit to replace Barney, his childhood pet. David loves it. When Lily gets a jewellery bead stuck up her nose, David and Shona reluctantly set off for A&E. Whilst the nurse sees to Lily, Shona calms her down and makes her giggle as David watches with a heavy heart realising how much the kids will miss her. Having returned to the street, David and Shona approach Jenny’s drinks stall. But Shona loses it and storms off when she spots Daisy being flirtatious with David and storms off. David finds Shona in Victoria Garden and they finally clear the air. After admitting that they still love each other and want to make a go of it, David forms a plan. At No.8, David and Shona, with the help of Max and Lily, re-enact their wedding day. As the Platts tumble out of No.8, the snow begins to fall and Shona stares up in wonderment. David gazes at his wife, his love for her renewed.
IT’S A FAMILY CHRISTMAS FOR TOYAH AND IMRAN After a sleepless night with baby Mason, Toyah and Imran share a smile, happy but slightly out of their depth.

Ignoring Toyah’s messages, Leanne hides away in her flat, consumed with grief.
