Opening Titles
Darcy Dixon sat up from her bed and looked at the wall, she sighed and poured herself a cup of tea and left the room. “You okay in there, I’ve got breakfast” Darcy asked as she knocked on a door. “I’m fine, you can come in” the voice shouted. It was Damien Dickinson and was midway through getting changed and was buttoning up his shirt. “Mum still mad at you?” Darcy asked. “Still, I can’t help being homophobic it’s just I find them queers creepy” Damien admitted. “Well if you’re gonna say that word then you can get out.” Darcy said as she passed a plate of toast and a mug of tug.
Over at the Oak Barn Martha was serving Chris a drink. “It was a pint right? That’s a fiver” Martha asked. “Yep, here’s my cash” Chris said as he handed over the note. “You know Ena’s planning a fancy dress disco party for all the residents” Martha smiled. “Well it could be fun, if we were eight” Chris laughed. “Well Rob Price could be Scrooge” Martha admitted. “It could be a laugh actually, I’ve got a snowman costume from the gym and Becky’s boutique has a bit of fancy dress, I can pick up a fairy dress and a turkey costume for you and Diane” Chris said. “Sounds great” Martha smiled as she wiped a glass dry. “I’ll get Rosanna, Leo and the Barton’s here, Ena wanted as many people as possible” Martha said. “Well I best be off, I’ll tell Amy, Josh, Amber and Ashley” Chris said as he then drank the last of his beer. “Is that a good idea? I mean Ashley’s just got out of hospital and Amy’s pregnant” Martha said. “Amy’s pregnant?” Chris said shocked. “How did you not know?” Martha asked. “Well I don’t go stalking people’s facebook pages and I’ve got to get to the gym, Tom’s taking a break so it’s just me” Chris said.
Jennifer sat in a booth in Little Haven with Becky Davies and Lorraine Barton. “So Martha texted me and Ena’s throwing a big Xmas bash together, its fancy dress so I need a costume” Lorraine said. Jennifer nearly spat her drink out and then said “fancy dress?” Jennifer cried in mock disgust “I don’t want to live the rest of my remaining life dressed as bloody elf” Jennifer laughed. “Well I can show the fancy dress stock if you want” Becky muttered. “Becky love, what’s wrong?” Lorraine asked as she put away her menu. “It’s just Scott, I mean I really loved him and now I have no idea where he is” Becky admitted. “You never knew he was a creep though? You should speak to Hilda” Mary said as she overheard the girl’s conversation. “Mary, I’d have to tell Hilda first and then she’d be a proper pain. She’s so controlling and obsessive, it was her who set me up with Scott and she’d go mad and lead a troop to hunt for Scott and then cut up him limb by limb” Becky sighed. “Becky, you need to tell her, or I will” Lorraine warned. “Fine, you can do it” Becky sighed.
Rob Price sat watching TV and Wendy came in. “Rob, how you are?” Wendy asked. “Fine mum, I don’t need you watching me every few minutes” Rob huffed. The door opened and Joel came in carrying a pile of costumes covered in glitter colour “What the actual hell?” Rob asked. “The Oak barn’s having a fancy dress party” Joel smiled as Wendy beamed. “I’d rather swallow my puke than dress up for a party”. “That’s why I got this for you” Joel said as he held up a black Scrooge costume. “Of course I got a reindeer costume for me and a Christmas tree costume for mum” Joel said.
The Longstaff’s had arrived at the pub early to help set up and Frank said “Hey you Longstaff’s I’m renovating the basement, gonna turn it into a proper lounge area”. “That’s great, how about me and mum take a look at it? Diane smiled innocently. “That would be great, your full of idea aren’t you Diane” Frank chuckled.
Martha led Diane towards the basement and Diane said “Ruddy old git doesn’t know how pathetic his wife is” Diane smiled. “Watch your lip” Martha said. “What are you gonna do? Disown me” Diane smirked. “So I assume this is the body?” Diane said as she kicked the bin bag. Martha looked shocked by this and whimpered “Yes”. “Well help me move it then” Diane smiled. “Why?” Martha asked. “We’re gonna leave it out and wrap it up as the raffle prize” Diane smiled “Better hope you win” Diane continued. “Diane, you have gone far enough, you’re blackmailing your mother, you’re sick, you’re the ruddy old git, and you can piss right out of my house as I never want to see you again” Martha shrieked. “Fine, I’ll tell Chris and Frank to come down here” Diane smiled. “You do that then, Chris will be sickened when he finds out you blackmailed me, I wouldn’t be surprised if he never spoke to you again” Martha smiled. Diane looked defeated and weakly said “Chris won’t care, he only cares about his damn son and his dam gym” Diane said as she swept out.
By 8 the party was in full swing and Ashley and Amber came dressed in matching elf costumes whilst Mary had somehow convinced Leo and Rosanna to come in the ghost of Christmas past, present and future. The Price’s sat in the corner in their outfits and the Barton’s took over the karaoke and Lorraine began to sing
“Birthday Song” by 2 Chainz.
Darcy Dixon arrived at the party dressed in an angel costume she was greeted by Ena and Frank who were dressed as Mary and Joseph “Darcy, glad you came, come and ask sexy Santa what you want.” Ena smiled. “Sexy Santa, which unfortunate person is doing that?” Darcy asked. “I told Stefan that I’d give him free drinks for the entire year” Ena said. “But its December, that’s not much” Darcy said. “Exactly” Ena smiled.
Darcy sat down and was joined by Damien who dressed as Jacob Marley. “Darcy, how are you?” Damien asked “Good, Damien can you leave me alone though?” Darcy said. Damien left and was handed a drink by Martha. “Drink on the house darling” Martha smiled. Darcy ignored this and was joined by Hilda. “Darcy, cheer up, its Christmas” Hilda said. Darcy turned away and checked her phone more texts appeared such as “Bitch, go rot in hell” or “Drop dead” or the more extreme “Darcy, EVERYONE hates you, kill yourself before I do”. “Darcy, what are those texts?” Hilda asked. “Leave me alone Hilda” Darcy warned. “Tell someone” Hilda said. “WHO” Darcy yelled. “I have no family, no friends and someone’s stalking me” Darcy cried. “Darcy got up from her chair and made her way to the microphone where Mary and Josh were singing “
Summer Nights” from Grease. “Listen everyone” Darcy said as she held the microphone. “Some crazy bitch is stalking me and telling me to kill myself, I need your help, it could be anyone in this room and I have no one to tell. I have no family. I’m worried sick, they could kill me” Darcy sobbed. “Look it’s snowing” Stacey said and entirely ignored Darcy’s tears. The guests seemed more interested in the snow then Darcy and Frank yelled out “Let’s play in the snow”. The villagers piled out of the pub and put on their scarves and gloves and Ashley started a snowball fight with Amber, Josh. Amy and Leo. Stefan shuddered at the cold and said “I’m freezing in this”. “Well you should have thought about that before you dressed up as sexy Santa” Hayley pointed out.
Darcy ran out of the pub and ran past the spa and gym both which had be covered in Christmas lights. Darcy ran and stopped outside her B & B. A female figure popped out behind the wall. “Hello Darcy” the person smiled. “Eve, what the hell are you doing here? When did you get here?” Darcy asked. “Well I’ve been here for a few months, you know throwing bricks at windows and leaving lovely death threats” Eve smiled. “It was you?” Darcy gasped. “YOU BITCH!” Darcy screamed as she punched Eve in the face.
