Lenny has a special surprise for all the family in River City

Christmas Day in Shieldinch…

It’s Christmas Day but festive cheer is missing between Scarlett and Andrew; Sonny struggles with his grief, facing the festivities without his daughter; and Lenny grows suspicious that Victoria has double-crossed him.

With Christmas celebrations well underway at the O’Hara’s, Scarlett pops out to surprise Andrew. However, on arrival at Andrew’s flat, she’s confused to find him packing his suitcases. Andrew reveals he’s leaving because he’s in danger and that Lenny was behind the attack which put Scarlett in hospital. Pushing for answers, Scarlett’s stunned to discover secrets surround Andrew.

Back at the O’Hara’s, the Christmas dinner doesn’t go to plan but Lenny has a special surprise for all the family – Callum’s back!

Elsewhere, Sonny puts on a brave face but emotions take over when he accidentally sets an extra place at the Christmas table. Removing himself from the festivities, Sonny sits in his car listening to a recording of Lou’s voice. Amber joins Sonny as they reminisce. However, seeing how distraught Sonny is, Amber comes close to confessing all about Lou’s death.

Lenny’s on edge as Victoria continues to dodge his calls with her promise to have Callum home for Christmas falling short.
