Explosive Christmases Trivia Quiz

Answer: Kathy

Throughout the Christmas Eve episode Kathy gets increasingly frustrated with people talking about Lou, and with seeing the things the old lady had given out the day before her death; at the end of the programme she shouted at her husband, Pete, before throwing the watch to the ground. The last scene of the episode is of the watch in pieces on the floor.

Answer: Santa

The young men were not in Walford at the time, having been involved in a single-vehicle accident on a delivery (Ian had messed with the brakes).

Later Wicksy is to decide to agree with Cindy and takes her and their son, Steven, off to Devon the next day.

Answer: Jingle Bells

Sharon later removed all the decorations from the bar, and then packed her bags and left. This was in 1994, just three years after their Boxing Day wedding.

Answer: she was taking the Pill

At this time Trevor was jealous of her family and she was in trouble with him for slipping across the Square to see Zoe when Kat brought her home. But it was when he found her supply of Pills in her handbag that he flipped and beat her up.

Answer: the Chapmans

Pete Beale had died a short time before Christmas, escaping the clutches of the local 'mafia' family, the Chapmans. This family turned their attentions to his family in Walford, and one of the things they did was deliver a basket of over-ripe fruit to the Fowler household. This was in 1993.

Answer: £200,000

This left Den as the kingpin in the Square again - only time will tell!

Answer: Peggy

Peggy had not had a good year, and was on tranquilisers; putting on a brave front, she had prepared a family Christmas with the few family left in the Square, but one by one they all deserted her and left her with an uneaten meal. Distraught, she binned all the food, smashed up the bar and kitchen and was eventually found by Phil crying on the kitchen floor, amid smashed crockery and pills.

Answer: 1988

Den was on remand at the time, and as the Christmas Eve episode unfolded, we learn that Nick was the person responsible for Reg Cox's death (he was the man found at the very beginning of the first episode). Pauline visited Den to warn him away from her daughter on the threat that she would tell Sharon of Vicky's parentage if he did not leave Michelle alone.

Answer: smashed up the living room

Arthur was to serve a prison sentence for the fraud, and some years later the conviction was to be held against him when Willy Roper framed him for a similar offence, having him serve time for a crime he did not commit.

Answer: Lisa

2000 was not a good Christmas Day for the Mitchells at all. Lisa had almost found Mel in a compromising position with her partner, Phil. Mel's finance, Steve, had been battling with Phil for the post of kingpin for some weeks, and on Christmas Eve they had had a fight in and out of the Queen Vic; determined to get his own back, Phil had lied to Mel and wormed his way into her bed for a brief, and to her mind, regretful, liaison.

This was to set in motion yet more explosive incidents in the year to come, including a JR-type shooting incident.
