Christmas Day on Coronation Street is not known to be an easy ride – and that's no exception for Gail who is forced into making a huge decision in front of her whole family
Coronation Street fans are set for a full feast this Christmas with an hour long episode showing explosive drama on the Cobbles.
Last night saw Gail get a ghostly visit from her ex-husband, the murderous Richard Hillman, as she considered her options. She found out that Jesse and David had been plotting behind her back, which left her completely stumped. Tonight she is set to walk down the aisle, but she finds herself torn. Adding to this, the rest of the Platts are at each other's throats. In a typical family Christmas, things are set to get a lot more tense for the Christmas finale.
The episode will revolve around the Platts and follow Gail as she considers her options. Premiering at 7pm on ITV, the episode could see us bid farewell to a long-loved character.
Christmas morning means it's Gail and Jesse's wedding day, but will Gail leave Weatherfield as a newly-married woman, or bid farewell to her feuding family on her own? The character has had plenty of mulling over, and it is not clear whether she'll choose Jesse or Audrey.
The reset of the Platts have gathered in the living room to open presents. David grows suspicious of Shona when he doesn't unwrap the aftershave he found in her bag, which he believed to be his.
Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) calls round smelling strongly of aftershave and explains it was a Christmas present,. David is not convinced and as he invites Adam to join him for a birthday drink, David devises a plan and secretly drinks water while Adam knocks back whiskey.
Shona and Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) arrive to hear David accusing Adam of sleeping with Shona behind his back. A row quickly breaks out, which leads to a shock stunt where Adam falls down stairs and lands on his back.
Toyah helps Nick set up for Gail's wedding at the Bistro, explaining that Leanne has lifted her ban for the occasion. As guests arrive, the police show up and tell Nick and Toyah they need to question them about a fraud allegation.
Kit shows Nick the account from TLH Holdings, who have been taking money from the account. Confused, Nick says he's never seen it before. Elsewhere at the station, an argument between Leanne and Toyah escalates into a fight, filmed by Max.
Bethany goes to the Bistro in her old glamorous clothing, which leaves Daniel delighted. But when she gifts him an expensive vintage watch, he seems underwhelmed and an upset Bethany confronts Daniel, convinced he doesn't want to be with her any more.
Daniel assures her this is not the case, and gets down on one knee to ask her to marry him.
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX
