Emmerdale's Chas Dingle is lonely this Christmas, as she finds herself abandoned by the Dingles following the reveal of her affair with Al Chapman.
It's obviously more complicated too due to Al's recent murder at the hands of 10-year-old Kyle Winchester, while his dad Cain Dingle has taken the blame.
Cain knows all about his sister Chas' affair with Al, and it was this fling that led to Cain and Al having a deadly showdown.
Viewers later saw though that Kyle had followed them to the barn, and it was him who shot Al.
A few of the residents now know the truth about Kyle, and they have been trying to cover it up – only for Kyle to struggle with his secret.
This Christmas, viewers will see Chas desperate to make amends as everyone finds out how she betrayed her husband Paddy Kirk with Al.
On the big day, Chas drops off some Christmas presents for the Dingles as well as a small birthday present for Belle.
