Events will reach a terrible crescendo for Kylie on Christmas Day when David arrives home to find Callum in his living room and brandishing a bag of drugs in Kylie’s face.

“The situation couldn’t look any worse,” admits Paula Lane, who plays Kylie. “Callum has the drugs right there, as though Kylie’s been asking for them and he’s just handed them to her. It’s really bad timing and Kylie is absolutely devastated. David demands to know what’s going on and Callum absolutely relishes the situation.”
