SOAP UPDATE

ITV, 7pm & 8pm No bad deed goes unpunished, especially in the soaps. And Bernice is about to discover that there are consequences to her actions. Will she lose her daughter? Will she be arrested?

There’s comedy when Charity wants to meet Vanessa in the cellar. Then Paddy heads down there looking for something... you can work out the rest. And elsewhere, Alex makes a move on Aaron.

BBC1, 7.30pm Max is lurking around the Square like a bad smell. And every time he talks to someone, he leaves them feeling nervous and on edge. With his behaviour clearly a bit erratic, everything escalates and you’ll wonder how far he is willing to go to get his revenge.

There’s the usual trauma with a bunch of secret Santa gifts after a rather unfortunate mix-up.
