Lucy is about to return to the Street for the first time since making false allegations against her foster mum Sally Metcalfe.

As Sally doesn't feel comfortable about welcoming Lucy back to the Metcalfe house, Christina has offered to give the teen an alternative place to stay.

In Tuesday's episode (17 November), Christina realises that it won't be smooth sailing as George isn't fully on board with her idea.

When George learns that Lucy's social worker is coming round, he reminds Christina that they haven't properly discussed her plan.

Mary Taylor is worried to spot the couple fighting and desperately tries to lighten the mood, but Christina is still determined to have the last word.

"You know how I feel about this, George," notes Christina. "Lucy needs to be with me, okay? I am going to look after her – with you or without you."

George is devastated by Christina's ultimatum – but what will he do next?

Speaking recently about her character's future, Amy Robbins – who plays Christina – teased: "Christina is going to do everything that she can to find out the truth about Rachel's death. She thinks that's the least she can do to make up for all the mistakes she made while poor Rachel was alive.

"I've yet to find out the lengths that she'll go to. At the moment she is really committed to proving that this Richie character is not all he seems to be and I think that's really clear. I've been watching it and Nathan Sussex [who plays Richie] is playing a blinder – he's an absolute rotter but he's full of charm, isn't he and smiles? He's all smiles.

"I think Christina is such a good judge of character. She knows herself, she's had such a tough life, she's a survivor and she can spot a bad'un when she sees one, probably because she can spot it in herself…"
