Episode 5798 (24th December 2010)

==Plot==
Hazel and Aaron are gutted when they go to collect Jackson and the doctor informs them that there's been a slight complication and he needs to stay overnight. At the hospital, it's getting late and Jackson's surprised when Aaron arrives, telling him he wasn't going to let him spend Christmas Eve alone. As they watch a DVD on Jackson's bed, there's a tender but bittersweet moment of closeness between them. Meanwhile, Charity is floored when Chas defends Carl after she tries to imply that he and Eve were up to something last night and warns her not to put the brakes on this now. Later, Charity can't believe it when Chas tells her she doesn't know what to do - all she knows is that she loves Carl and she needs some space. Elsewhere, Declan is unable to resist Ella's attraction when they kiss under the mistletoe; Eric panics when he overhears Amy taking a Christmas dinner booking for one from a lady called Elizabeth; Eve is grateful when Edna tells her that she'll come to the wedding to support her; and Katie and Gennie are being plagued by nuisance calls.
