PlotEdit

Gail is delivered of a little boy, David. She is put in a bed next to Sally. Curly tells Vera about his bust-up with the Taylors. Jack returns Boomer to Bert Latham but he refuses to give Jack his £25 back. Ivy is cross that David's surname is "Tilsley" on his bracelet as he's a Platt. Ken spends Christmas with Susan and returns with presents. He gives Tracy a present from him to Deirdre, as well as a TV for herself. Vera asks Brenda Taylor to give Curly a second chance but she refuses. Rita throws a little party. Derek saves his job by getting a big order - from Angela Hawthorne. Deirdre refuses to open Ken's present. Phil invites her to Paris.
