But there will also be love and joy in the festive season, as David and Shona Platt take centre stage.

Is Ian Beale leaving EastEnders for good, and does he die after Sharon twist?
EastEnders aired brutal scenes earlier this month as Ian Beale was attacked and left for dead - and his attacker has now been exposed after trying to kill him again.
But does Ian die, and is actor Adam Woodyatt leaving the role?

Now, it's been confirmed his wife Sharon asked ex Phil to carry out the crime, after learning what really happened to her tragic son Dennis earlier this year in the boat crash.
She had the incriminating voicemail message that revealed Ian locked Dennis in a room on the boat before he drowned.
Sharon's crime was exposed on Christmas Day, as she begged Phil to kill Ian yet again only for him to refuse.

She's now taking it on herself to get rid of her husband, by poisoning him.

thedailymirror--2020-12-24--Pixar’s Soul is a 'tear-jerking animated adventure' available on Christmas Day

The latest Pixar animation feels like an ideal partner for its previous existential hit Inside Out .
Soul follows jazz musician and teacher Joe Gardner ( Jamie Foxx ) who has spent much of his life teaching pupils how to embrace the power of music whilst wishing for his own jazz career ’ s hit break .
However , that finally all changes when he ’ s given a chance from a former pupil to perform in a band for acclaimed musician Dorothea Williams ( a steely Angela Bassett ) .
Despite some doubts from his own mother ( a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his own nerves , this looks like it is Joe ’ s big break .
However , a chance accident leaves Joe on an otherworldly journey to a realm of souls and itching to get a second chance at his life .
Along the way , Joe gets a chance to aid a wayward soul named 22 ( Tina Fey ) , but perhaps this rebellious entity will help Joe come to some realisations about what he has already achieved in life before that transformative accident .
Soul fully embraces its weighty themes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a warm sensitivity that we have come to expect from also all Pixar animations , inclusion Inside Out , Up , and the Toy Story films .
Similarly to Inside Out , Soul very literally takes on emotional turmoil and mortality in ways that reach both the young and the adult , but here mostly rests on the shoulders of Jamie Foxx ’ s empathetic and expressive voice work which is still somehow understated and nuanced .
Foxx is ably supported by the likes of a personality-exuding and playfully droll Fey as 22 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with children and provides the richest connection between two characters in the tale .
However , in the personal relationships that Joe encounters on Earth , these too feel grounded and realistic and make his emotional journey all the easier to invest in , with the likes of Rashad and Daveed Diggs providing ample work .
Elsewhere , look out for a fun supporting role for Britain 's very own Graham Norton as an unlikely ally for Joe in both the soul world and on Earth .
The visual style and production design @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ever , with the colourful soul realms themselves providing stunning imagery that will sit long in the memory .
The film also utilises Joe ’ s love of music and jazz by feeling it in an authentic manner throughout and providing a true sense of the transcendental and connective power of talented artists in touch with their craft - and with a catchy and propulsive score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross that aches with both pain and euphoria .
Despite these many successful elements , Soul does not entirely land its final @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its full potential impact , instead choosing to be crowd-pleasing over what feels the most natural and profound conclusion .
However , for many , this will only serve to make the film more likely for multiple re-watches and it is easy to see why as Soul boasts so much talent , heart and powerful messages about what is truly important and what truly stays with us : experiences over what can sometimes be just rather empty achievements .

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has sent a firm message to William Saliba and his fellow other Arsenal youngsters to "be patient" over their future at the club.
The 19-year-old is growing restless at his lack of chances at Arsenal following his £27million transfer.
Mikel Arteta has so far refused to pick Saliba in any of his squads, instead insisting the centre-back needs a "transition year" out on loan.
The January transfer window offers an ideal opportunity for the Gunners to send Saliba out on loan, but the Frenchman has already become disgruntled at his situation at the club.
Now Gunners captain Aubameyang has sent a clear message to Saliba and any other emerging talents about how to conduct themselves.

"When you are a young player trying to come through at a club like Arsenal then for sure there's a lot of pressure," Aubameyang told AFP via France24 .
"You have to be patient too because we have great players who are playing in the first team so it's always hard to find your way through.
"I remember when I was playing at AC Milan (2008-11) it was always really, really difficult to get into the first team, so I know that type of feeling."
Saliba admitted to exiled Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi - who is now on loan at Hertha Berlin - that he felt "locked up" at Arsenal in a similar fashion to his old teammate did.

Other youngsters in Arteta's ranks are also beginning to kick their heels, including Eddie Nketiah and Folarin Balogun.
Concerns over playing time is the sole reason behind Balogun's reluctance so far to agree a new contract, with just six months left to run on his current deal.
But Aubameyang is in no two minds about where the best place is for these academy stars to learn their trade and bide their time.
"With the Europa League this season, there have been maybe more opportunities for the young guys to get minutes," he said.
Should William Saliba be given a chance at Arsenal? Have your say below.

"We saw a few young players in our last European game and we also have them joining in with training quite a lot lately.
"For them it is not easy, but when you get the chance you have to take it and I think they are doing well when they have had the chance so far.
"You can see that the young lads always perform when they come in because the coaches are doing great work with them to get them ready for the games.
"The rest is down to them."
