Here's when all the soaps are on over the Christmas...

Any soap fan worth their salt knows that Christmas is when the soaps are at their most soaptastic - if something big is going to happen, it will inevitably happen over the turkey and ham, and if someone's number is up, you can guarantee it will be a yuletide end for them.

This Christmas is no different in soapland, with a feast of drama in store on all of the soaps. Max will be wreaking havoc in EastEnders, while Peter and Billy face off in Corrie. In Emmerdale, things get a little bizarre as Robert has a Groundhog Day Christmas while over in Fair City there's a surprise in store for Kerri-Ann that leaves her in quite the predicament.
