Des sacks Liz from the betting shop. When Jim finds out, he is
really angry with Des, and goes hunting for him to give him a
good hiding. When he does eventually find Des, Liz is there in
time to stop Jim from hurting Des, but they manage to keep their
affair secret. Liz tells Jim that Des sacked her as the betting
shop was over staffed. It seems that Andy McDonald knows that
his mum and Des had an affair, and Liz confides in Andy.
Curly and Racquel arrive back from their honeymoon cruise. Curly
points out the star in the sky "Mrs. Racquel Watts"
and they are being very romantic together. Curly's boss, Eric
Firman, invites the newly weds to dinner at his house and Racquel
doesn't make too good an impression on Mr. Firman's wife when
she spills red wine all over Mrs. Firman's dress. Curly and Racquel
go home feeling terrible about it all but the next day Mr. Firman
tells Curly that Mrs. Firman is a terrible snob and hates to be
reminded that she was also, once a barmaid in a pub so Curly feels
ok now. The next night is the Firman's Freezers Christmas Party
and Curly takes Racquel, where Eric Firman makes a special announcement
- Curly is promoted! (he gets Reg's old job as manager). Christmas
Day brings its own problems for Curly and Racquel though when
both sets of parents arrive for Christmas dinner. It's a very
awkward dinner as its the first time they have all met each other
and their new daughter and son in law and assume that Racquel
must be pregnant and can't understand why they didn't invite any
one to the wedding. The only person who shows any thing bordering
on niceness to them is Racquel's mum, although Racquel's dad does
say sorry and give his daughter a hug.
Bet sends Christmas cards to Betty and a wedding card to Racquel.
In the message, she tells Racquel to throw out her clothes from
the Rovers and Racquel does this, she takes the outfits to a charity

makes an attempt to talk to Rita in the Rovers, and offers to
buy her a drink. Rita wants to be alone over Christmas, despite
being offered lunch with Mavis and Derek. Alf goes to Gail and
Martin's house for Christmas lunch, Audrey doesn't go. She is
still very upset with Alf over what happened in London when Betty
was with Alf instead of her. Audrey gets drunk in the Rovers and
tells Alma she is going to lead Alf a dog's life from now on.
Don buys Josie a bike for Christmas and doesn't buy Nick a present,
although he buys the other children a present.
Steve McDonald gets some cheap whisky and gives them as presents.
The police come around to the print shop and ask him where the
whisky came from, they suspect it's been stolen. They take Steve
down to the police station for questioning and leave him there
overnight in a cell before they talk to him. Vicky and his parents
are frantic, they don't know where he has gone to. When he does
eventually call Vicky he tells her to let his parents know that
he has gone nightclubbing and begs her not to tell them that his
is at the police station. When Steve does eventually come home
to Vicky, he finds his car has been broken into and his car stereo
has gone. Vicky is really upset with him, and as Steve lazes around
the house the next day, she has to go out and do the shopping
and buy presents from him for his family. The McDonald's are gathered
at Steve and Vicky's flat on Christmas Day enjoying their Christmas
lunch when the police come in to the flat with a search warrant.

in a flood of tears.
