Peter has gone AWOL – no one has seen him since his drunken escapades yesterday and Ken is getting worried. Leanne eventually finds him at the flat sleeping off a hangover and unable to remember much about the previous day's events. She persuades him to get his act together and take teddy round to Simon at Ken and Deirdre’s.
Peter is ashamed as his son proudly performs his lines from the nativity play. Upset, Peter escapes to the back yard where he breaks down and tells Ken that he doesn’t think he can cope with being a dad.
Maria is furious when the police call round and tell her that they don’t have any evidence to lead them to think Tony killed Liam. But she's intrigued when later in the day, Jed arrives at the house and tells her he wants to talk to her about a murderer.

Peter tells Deirdre, Ken and Blanche that he wants to be a real father and they tell him that they will care for Simon until Peter gets himself sorted out.
Peter than has some groveling to do with Leanne and thanks her for helping him find Simon’s teddy. He invites her round to the flat but she tells him she has some shopping to do. Her attitude has softened though and he's left with a spark of hope.
Back at the flat, he finds a present Simon has left for him and opens a bottle of whisky – is he going to fall at the first hurdle?
Maria finds an unlikely ally in the shape of Jed, who tells her that he believes her theory that Tony killed Liam. Audrey advises caution and tells Maria that she should stop looking for someone to blame.

Michelle asks Steve if it's OK if she does a gig on Christmas Eve – Steve feigns disappointment and tells Becky that this is the last Christmas she'll be alone.

Elsewhere, Colin and Rita have hit it off and Lloyd suffers following the Brazilian Crunch class.
Wednesday 24/12/08
It’s Christmas Eve on Coronation Street and everyone is in high spirits. The factory girls are in party mood and Carla tells them to go home and come back in their glad rags for the Underworld Xmas Bash. Tony stays to get the party ready and finish off some last-minute wrapping but he’s surprised by a visit from a slightly tipsy Jed demanding more cash in return for his silence.
Angered by the pensioner’s belligerence, Tony snaps and using the negligee he has bought Carla for Christmas he throttles him. As he stands over a motionless Jed on the floor of the factory, he panics realising that Carla and the factory girls will be on their way back at any time.
Spying an empty storage hamper, he crams Jed’s lifeless body inside just in time. The next few hours are a nightmare for Tony as the drunken factory girls conga and dance around the hamper unaware of its grizly secret. Will Tony’s latest evil deed be discovered?
Rosie is looking forward to celebrating her birthday and having her first legal drink in the Rovers. She's planned a party at home but decides to cancel it and spend the evening with Gary Windass instead. Kevin and Sally are less than impressed when they return home and discover she and Gary have polished off the champagne the family were going to open to celebrate her birthday. Joe is not feeling very festive having discovered that he has been evicted from his flat. He confides in Kevin who advises him to tell Gail but Joe is a proud man and doesn’t want to burden her with his problems. At the Rovers, Michelle kisses Steve under the mistletoe but Steve tells Becky he would much rather be kissing her.
Thursday 25/12/08
Christmas Day dawns in Weatherfield with everyone preparing for the day ahead. One man with more to do than most is Tony Gordon, who has the small matter of a body to dispose of before he can get down to celebrating. He tells Carla that there's been a break in at one of the properties. Instead, he heads for the factory.
Meanwhile preparations are under way for Christmas dinner at Emily and Norris’s but Emily's not happy starting without Jed, whose bed hasn’t been slept in all night. Tony is desperate to make sure it looks as though Jed has done a runner and sneaks into the house to remove his belongings – will he manage to get everything out without being discovered?
Over at the Platts' the day gets off to a good start as Joe surprises Gail with an expensive watch. Gail has planned a party for later that day but as the Platts settle down for their Christmas dinner, they're invaded by some early arrivals – the Windasses have the timings wrong and turn up with party food, forcing Gail to invite them to stay for Christmas dinner, much to Joe’s annoyance.
By the time the Websters arrive for the party, things have gone somewhat downhill and when Gary turns up, David and Kevin are seething. It isn’t long before the whole shindig has descended into mayhem, forcing Joe to walk out. Another typical Christmas Day at the Platts'.
Christmas is a time to spend with your loved ones and Steve is desperate to get some time alone with Becky. He makes his excuses to get away from the Rovers and arranges to meet Becky at the cab office. She's delighted to discover he has decked the office out as a Christmas Grotto and they settle down to share a few snatched moments, unaware that Michelle is on her way over to find him...
Elsewhere, it’s a sad day for Maria who tells Fiz that she wants to go to the cemetery to visit Paul and Liam’s graves. She's shocked when she arrives and finds that someone has beaten her to it and already laid flowers. She's disgusted when she realises that they're from Tony and Carla. Maria destroys them before returning to the Street to let Tony know exactly what she thinks of his gesture. Things are a lot quieter at Roy’s Rolls where the dinner happens without hitch – thanks to a last-minute donation and some help from Auntie Pam.
Friday 26/12/08
Maria is still seething and scared after her encounter with Tony and asks Fiz to go to the police station with her. Fiz explains that she hasn’t seen or heard anything that she could tell them, leaving Maria frustrated.
Still desperate to prove to everyone that Tony murdered Liam, Maria resorts to desperate measures and armed with a pot of paint, daubs the word ‘murderer’ across the factory walls. Has she gone too far this time?
Gail still hasn’t heard from Joe but he turns up at the house with a bouquet of flowers by way of an apology for his behaviour. He promises her that he won’t do something like that again but still doesn’t come clean about being evicted.
Dev is like a bear with a sore head when Amber asks him to make himself scarce so she can spend some time with Darryl. Amber realises the only way she's going to get a love life is if she sorts out Dev’s first, so she immediately gets on the phone to Tara. At the Brazilian Crunch class, Liz saves the day when the instructor fails to show up – all they need now is some music. Cue Lloyd.
Elsewhere, Emily's sure that Jed has returned as his bedroom door is closed and it was open yesterday. She soon discovers he - along with his belongings - have gone.
Maria is hysterical as the police try to speak to her about the graffiti and Audrey tries desperately to calm her down. Tony intervenes and tells the police that he isn’t willing to press charges.
Maria's convinced that this proves he has a plan but Audrey and Fiz are worried about her and tell her it must stop. As Tony realises that the situation won't go away until Maria has disappeared, he suggests to Kirk and Fiz that they take her away from Weatherfield for a while.
To ease their burden, Tony even offers to pay. Carla, meanwhile, is left confused by her husband’s behaviour. Lloyd warns Steve that he's playing with fire and that it won’t be long before people start to notice the sexual tension between him and Becky. Steve, however, is convinced he can handle it. Later, Lloyd finds himself the centre of attention following the Brazilian Crunch class.
Tyrone is pleased that Molly is back at home but he’s got a stiff back from sleeping on the sofa. Molly offers to give him a massage but they're soon interrupted by Auntie Pam. Elsewhere, Dev and Tara realise they've been set up by Amber but Dev seizes the moment and offers Tara the flat above the corner shop.
