Coronation Street Catch Up: the chafing would be horrendous edition

 your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
 
 
Phew! 
Just came back from a vacation at the Rhubarb Hill Hotel (spoiler alert: no rhubarb on the premises and it's not on a hill either). 
 
It's certainly not a vacation for poor Carla who tried to give Betsy a secret hint as to her whereabouts as a captive in crazy Becky's flat.  Carla almost makes her escape but is thwarted by evil Becky who is now cutting off Carla from her vital medication.

Meanwhile Asha is helping Kit solve the 'Rhubarb' puzzle as she finds out (from a hospital colleague) that Costello was saying: 'Rhubarb Hill Blessing'. Turns out that it's a three-word address that can zero in on a specific location. Kit figures it out and speeds to the location only to find no-one there, but he finds Carla's empty medication packet. 
 
It looks like Becky is one step ahead of Kit and is moving Carla (jn the trunk of her car).
 
Meanwhile Betsy is trying to convince Lisa to go to Spain and it looks like Lisa might actually agree.
 
Over at the Rovers, it's New Year's Eve and the place is hopping as the punters down a variety of bevies. Poor Todd is trying desperately to please Theo. Despite being stranded in the rain by Theo and forced to walk back to Weatherfield, Todd puts that behind him and proposes to Theo in the Rovers only to be scolded by Theo later on. Billy is sure that Todd is in an abusive relationship but Todd is in denial.
 
Abi is finally wise to Carl's many deceptions (i.e. legover with James, amassing a large sum of money, one-way plane ticket to Germany) and gets advice from Tracy (so you know she's desperate). Tracy tells Abi to take charge of the situation and Abi then pretends that the relationship with Carl is fine - while planning her revenge. 
 
Over at the Chariot Square Hotel, Ryan also has his suspicions about Carl's shady financial dealings but is reluctant to tell Debbie until he has proof. En passant, Ryan and Leanne seem to be getting rather chummy these days.
 
Meanwhile, old Carl seems to be in a bit of fragile state after learning about the death of his mother. Maybe that event has made him a bit more reflective and a bit less...um Carl-ish? Ronnie kindly lends his support to Carl while Carl deals with his Mom's passing.
 
We now know that it was Will who coshed Daniel in the head and left him lying in the ginnel. We also know that Moira witnessed the event, covered up the assault, and is protecting her grandson.
 
Some good news. 
 
After some deft reverse psychology from Evelyn, Ty is motivated to resume rehab and is now walking with crutches. He even manages to console Kev who is still gutted at losing Abi to Carl.
 
And now for some lines from the week that was: 
 
Brian to the Rovers crowd about New Year's in Times Square:
"In America they have a massive ball"
(just one?)

Mary tells the Rovers crowd about the downside of wearing her lucky red underwear:
"The chafing would be horrendous"
(try getting that image out of your head) 

Becky tells Lisa to forget about Carla:
"Carla's moved on"
(...in the trunk of a car driven by Becky)

Moira to Daniel after he was attacked in the ginnel:
"Did you get a look at the perp?"
(call Law & Order SVU) 

Carl to Abi:
"Am I in the doghouse?"
(is the Pope American?)

Abi to Evelyn, who's sticking her oar in:
"Luckily for you I don't punch pensioners"
(someone tell Rita and Audrey) 

Tracy wants Abi to confide in her:
"Trust me, I'm a sister"
(more like a Twisted Sister) 

Tracy to Abi re: men:
"Today's pothole is tomorrow's sinkhole"
(especially in Montreal) 

Abi opens up to Tracy:
"It's Carl. He's cheating on me"
(...with a man) 

***
Well, fellow Corrie compatriots, so ends another week. It's now 2026 on the Street and let's hope for some good stories and great characters. Let's hope that Carla escapes from Becky (and is healthy), let's hope that Todd escapes from Theo (and is healthy). Most of all, all the best to fellow faithful fans of Corrie and I hope 2026 brings you nothing but good things. Cheers!

Coronation Street Catch Up: the peripatetic noshers edition

 your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
 
 
We definitely need some kind of hero to deal with the Carla-Becky situation and I can only think of one person suited to the job.
 
That's right. We need Peter Barlow to swoop in and rescue Carla, deport Becky, marry Lisa and introduce Betsy to Simon. There. Problem solved.
 
Of course that's not going to happen (pity) so Carla continues to remain bound, gagged and living in a closet thanks to evil Becky. Becky also tells Costello to keep his mouth shut or his family will be in danger. At the same time, Becky continues to smooth talk Lisa into resuming her wifely role and plans on establishing her old (pre-dead) life with Lisa and Betsy.
 
Elsewhere a lovely Christmas dinner at the Rovers is the setting for Moira to take a swipe at Eva by reading, out loud, a letter that Eva wrote to her terminated child. Moira thinks that Eva was - and is - having it off with Adam. Ben subsequently punches Adam. Eva later explains to Ben that she had the termination while she and Ben were estranged and insists that she is not having if off with Adam.
 
Ben then banishes Moria from the Rovers. Moira then commandeers poor Roy to take her to the Chariot Square Hotel. Ben and Eva make up while 'Fairytale of New York' plays in the background.
 
Sad news. Carl's Mom has passed away. 
Not so sad news. Carl decides to have a therapeutic legover with James
 
The randy twosome almost get caught red-handed by Abi but James makes a miraculous escape just in time. However, Abi gets suspicious when she finds a neck chain on the coffee table. 
Carl says he found the chain in the couch. Not very convincing. 
Next time say you had a surprise visit from Snoop Dog. More convincing.
 
David is not chuffed to be attending ante-natal classes with Shona and manages to insult the class instructor. Meanwhile, he is celebrating his birthday (which falls on Christmas day) and Gail remembers the occasion (via video call). David, BTW, is 35 years old (in dog years?) 
 
Over at Todd and Theo's it's more of the same old, same old. Theo makes Todd cook Christmas dinner for a whole whack of guests (surprise!). Todd meekly accepts the task and their friends enjoy the meal. Theo starts yawning as a signal for everyone to get lost... pronto. Afterwards, the Olympic head games continue as Theo verbally harasses Todd. 
 
And now for a few lines from the week that was:
 
Bernie tells the hen do her weirdest legover location:
"I have done it in a Glastonbury loo"
(...while Oasis was playing on the main stage no doubt) 

James to Carl re: his hidden sexual nature:
"Secrets have a habit of coming out"
(the sooner the better) 

Moira is delighted at the prospect of homosexual dinner guests: 
"I do love a gay Christmas"
(Really? Try stopping by at Todd and Theo's and get back to me

Evelyn to Roy re: the house of Carla and Lisa:
"What's been happening at the lesbian ranch?"
(Becky seems to have been doing some lassoing of Carla) 

Adam accepts Moira's dinner invitation:
"We Barlow's would do anything to avoid Tracy's crusty nut loaf "
(even listen to Ken's rendition of 'Feliz Navidad' on the bells?) 

Brian assures David he is not intending to stay for Christmas dinner:
"We're not peripatetic noshers"
(Isn't 'Peripatetic Noshers' the name of a techno-punk band?) 

Christina at Todd and Theo's Christmas dinner:
"That is one hell of a moist breast"
(Let's keep the conversation civil, shall we?") 

Eva to Maggie:
"You bitch!"
(le mot juste) 
 
Eva to Moira:
"Why do you hate me so much?"
(how much time do you have?) 

Evelyn to Lisa re: Carla:
"Maybe she's just not cut out to be a lesbian"
(It's not like the Girl Guides, you know)  

George shares his thoughts out loud:
"Who doesn't have the hots for Alya?"
(put your hand up)
 
***
Well, fellow festive followers, so ends another week. Please! Someone rescue Carla from the surly bonds of...Becky. Thanks, as always, for dropping by. Cheers!

Coronation Street Catch Up: the finesse my tablescaping edition

 your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
 
Phew!
 
Finally some relief from the Todd and Theo story and the Lisa, Carla and Becky saga.
 
Yes, Christmas is coming to Coronation Street and it's only a matter of time before Ken brings out his traditional Yuletide bells and plays a stirring rendition of Despecito... er, I mean Silent Night.
 
However, first there is the small matter of the police intervention into the Todd and Theo domestic violence incident. It seems that their heated argument escalated to the point where Todd pushed Theo and he fell backwards, smashing through a coffee table. 
 
Todd is interviewed by the police and Theo is taken to hospital. Turns out Theo is fine and the two concoct a flimsy explanation about a family dispute that got a little physical. Neighbours are shocked to learn of the violent incident. 
 
Later, Theo discovers that Todd has recorded past events with hidden video cameras. 
Theo, of course, is outraged and uses his video editing skills to make a short movie depicting Todd as the abuser in their relationship. Think of it as an evil variation on a Scorsese oeuvre. Call it Raging Bulls***.
 
George and Christina pop over for lunch with Todd and Theo but are convinced by Monsieur Smarm (Theo) that everything's tickety boo. 

Anyway, let's move on to the seasonal events.
 
Over at Sally and Tim's house, Sally is trying to create a perfect Christmas for Joanie and Shanice (and I guess Brody too). Then Joanie steals a bottle of wine from Dev's (as a gift for her Mum). Sally and Tim manage to smooth things over but Sally blows a gasket when Joanie tries to swan off to a party with a sketchy pal. Joanie, in turn, gives Sally a rollicking and then tops the Christmas tree for good measure. All this just as Fiz and her daughters pop in for some Xmas cheer.
 
Over at the pub, it's Will's 16th birthday and preparations are underway for a surprise party. However, Will has birthday plans of his own which involve shagging his coach in a room at the Chariot Square Hotel (used on all occasions by all Corrie residents - Trip Advisor's rating is four and half hotpots). 

Will and Megan are almost caught in flagrante delicto by Ben and Ollie who arrive at the hotel room.  Will manages to concoct an explanation while Megan hides in the bathroom. Later, Will and Megan are invited to join Eva and family for Christmas festivities. Awkward! How long before this inappropriate relationship is discovered?
 
Carl gets a suggestive text from James but manages to lie about it to Abi. James later apologizes to Carl for his racy text but advises Carl to be honest with Abi about his um... 'sexual appetites'. 
 
And finally, it's goodbye to Dee Dee and Laila. Dee Dee is off to a fancy job in Singapore. James is bitter at first but then reconciles himself to Dee Dee's plans and wishes her a fond farewell. She leaves in a Black Cab (not a Street Cars taxi) so you know it's a fond (and probably final) farewell.
 
And now for a few lines from the week that was:
 
Bernie re: the Todd-Theo commotion:
"You don't know what goes on behind closed doors"
(only Charlie Rich does... ask your parents who Charlie Rich is)
 
Todd to Kit re: his flight with Theo: 
"It got physical"
(and not in the Olivia Newton-John way... ask your parents again) 

Theo jokes to a police officer re: his CT scan:
"They found a brain"
(are you sure?) 

Tracy to Cassie: 
"Talk about a stupid, mouthy slapper"
(hey, she's not stupid) 

Sally invites Fiz over for a visit:
"I've been wanting to finesse my tablescaping"
(it's like landscaping with napkins) 

***
Well, fellow Will watchers, so ends another week. We can't help but notice that the Corrie Banishing Corporation (CBC) has shortchanged us with only one episode on Friday (instead of two). I refuse to take this lying down (but if I do, it will be in a suite at the Chariot Square Hotel). Thanks so much for the pleasure of your company and have a great week.

Coronation Street Catch Up: the Fireworks or Turtle Doves edition

 your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
 
 
Happy New Year?
 
Not so much for Carla, Lisa, Shona, Kev and especially, Todd.
 
Over at Carla and Lisa's place, it looks like Carla has given up on her relationship with Lisa. Looks like she has also given up on her investigation into Becky's suspicious activities. Carla has one last visit with Costello (who's still in hospital and barely conscious) and elicits a clue from him ("Ravensgill"). However, a nurse advises Carla that Costello's random words probably don't mean anything and are simply par for the course for someone in his condition.
 
Carla subsequently gives up on her quest to discover the truth about Becky much to the dismay of Kit who is determined to continue the investigation.  Carla decides to take off to sunnier climes and heads for the airport. Lisa suddenly decides that she wants to get back together with Carla and decides to intercept Carla at the airport but it looks like she may be too late.
 
Over at David and Shona's place, Shona has planned a baby shower but didn't tell David until he arrived at their house to see several women drinking out of baby bottles (don't ask). Davey is surprised (not in a good way) that Shona is celebrating the arrival of their baby when both Shona and the baby are at risk.
 
The shower doesn't end well as Shona reacts badly to a gift exchange receipt that she interprets as a sign that the baby may not live. Afterwards, Shona admits to David that she is scared about what might happen.
 
Debbie continues to plan her wedding and invites Kevin as well as Abi and Carl. Kev refuses to attend but some wise words from Jack convince him to change his mind.
 
Last, but certainly not least, a full episode was devoted to the deteriorating relationship between Todd and Theo as Theo becomes more controlling and more violent by the minute. A couple of cameras (which Todd placed in the flat) record a frightful record of the abuse and violence culminating in a call to police by neighbours who hear a terrible commotion coming from the flat.
 
The police force their way in only to be confronted by an ashen-faced Todd.
 
And now for a few lines from the short week that was:
 
Debbie quizzes Ronnie about his preference for the wedding:
"Fireworks or turtle doves?" 
(...but not both or you might have a horrible accident) 

Shona raises a toast at her baby shower:
"A toast to our little fighter" 
(are you talking about David?)
 
Kirk ponders the misnamed reindeer:
"They should be called snowdeer"
(call Rudolph and let him know)
 
***
Well, fellow chagrined Corrie watchers, so ends another short week of Coronation Street episodes. I have communicated my displeasure to the highest echelons of the CBC but to no avail. Hopefully regular scheduled episodes will resume this week on CBC and continue... until the Olympics. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.

Coronation Street Catch Up: the cup of euphemism edition

 your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
 
 
It's neither very 'Feliz' nor 'Navidad' over at Carla and Lisa's place as Becky continues to drive a wedge between Carla and Lisa while dredging up tiresome memories of old times (i.e. before she pretended to be dead).
 
Carla's fed up with Becky's shenanigans and decides she wants to spend Christmas with Roy rather than hang around with Becky, Betsy and Lisa rehashing the good old (pre-Spain) days.
 
Carla does have one trick up her sleeve. She pretends to be drunk and prompts Becky to confess her devious plan to win back Lisa. Carla records the conversation and plays it back to Betsy and Lisa but Lisa has simply had enough of the fight between Becky and Carla and insists she is not a prize to be won.
 
Meanwhile Kit is working overtime trying to discover the truth about Becky's evil deeds. Carla is on the case too. She brings her steno pad to Costello's bedside in hospital but only manages to elicit a word or two before Costello returns to an unconscious state.
 
A smidgen of Maggie's past is revealed through a couple of flashbacks and show her to be fiercely protective of her two young sons (Ben and Finley) and contemptuous of her husband who falls down the stairs after a push from Maggie. Maggie continues to waltz around the neighbourhood inflicting her particular brand of aggressive non-charm to one and all. 
 
Perhaps the producers wanted to introduce a character in the tradition of Blanche Hunt or Ena Sharples but sadly (so far) Maggie has neither the wit nor likeability of either.
 
Over at the Chariot Square Hotel, Debbie has erroneously booked her wedding venue for 2027 instead of 2026. However Carl and Abi manage to book another suitable venue for the correct date.
 
Will is getting more and more cheesed off as Megan gets super chummy with Daniel. Even more problematic for Megan and Will is the fact that Lauren spies the two of them at a cafe being all touchy feely. It was only a matter of time before someone in Weatherfield saw the inappropriate twosome in a compromising situation. What will happen now?
 
At Tim and Sally's house, the couple are delighted to learn that Joanie has invited some friends over for a party but sadly none show up.
 
George remains very concerned about Todd and Christina tries to encourage him to take the initiative and see Todd.

And now for a few lines from the very short week that was:
 
Carla encourages Becky to return to Spain pronto:
"Feliz Navidad and all that"
(hasta la vista, Becky) 

Carla to Lisa re: her recording of evil Becky:
"I had a lovely little chat with Lady Lazarus"
(good one) 

Christina's description of George's legover prowess:
"Sex machine"
(way too much information) 

Carla to Lisa and Betsy re:Becky:
"She is devious and dishonest"
(and those are her good points) 

Carla to Becky:
"I've got to warn you. I'm a stubborn cow"
(So,Becky, why don't you moo-ve out) 

Daniel to Megan:
"Would you like to come up for a cup of euphemism?"
(you mean sex?) 
 
***
Well fellow Festive Followers, so ends another (very short) week. Thanks so much for the pleasure of your company throughout the year and I wish you nothing but health, happiness and high quality Corrie episodes in 2026. All the best and have a Happy New Year!

Coronation Street Catch Up: the Chinese pigeon drone edition

your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...


Many apologies to all faithful readers for misleading everyone about last Friday's (absent) episodes.
 
I was horribly misinformed.
 
Instead of re-scheduling Friday's episodes, the CBC callously dispensed with them (again) in favour of broadcasting Frosty the Snowman.
 
At first glance, I thought it might have been an old episode with Fred Elliot dressed in white (hope springs eternal), but I was wrong (again). No disrespect to Frosty (I'm sure he's a fine frozen fella) but it's no substitute for a double dose of Corrie
 
Shame on you CBC for pulling this unadvertised switcheroo.
 
But I digress.
 
So what's up with Dee Dee? She has binned off poor Ollie for no apparent reason and then reveals to Alya that she's taken a job in Singapore. Poor James will be heartbroken to learn that baby Laila is leaving the country with her Mum. One wonders if there's more to this that meets the eye...
 
Over at Weathy High, it seems that Megan has secured a job at the school where Daniel is currently employed. That's great news for Daniel who is quite taken with Megan and is keen to see more of her. Meanwhile Will is seething with jealously.
 
As for the other Driscolls, it seems that it's Maggie's 65th birthday and she wants a mega-celebration.
 
Ollie is supposed to bake a custom cake. There are decorations in the pub and Maggie makes the rounds inviting everyone to the festivities in the Rovers. However, Maggie also takes time out to give Dee Dee a piece of her mind for breaking up with Ollie and even issues a threat to Dee Dee (who is quite taken aback) for messing with her grandson.
 
A flashback sequence (when did these start becoming a thing in Corrie?) attempts to explain some of Maggie's personality um.. 'quirks' and perhaps signals why Ben is a bit of a Mummy's boy and continually sides with Maggie, rather than with Eva

Theo has yet another surprise for Todd
 
This time it's an exercise bike that Todd dutifully accepts (just use it as a clothes hanger like the rest of us). Danielle makes a guest appearance to announce that she's taking the kids to Tenerife for Christmas. Theo subsequently blames Todd for the situation. When Todd actually pushes back at Theo for his behaviour, Theo retreats into his 'Three Stooges brand' of self-loathing and starts hitting himself. 
 
Todd leaves the flat and spends some time with Summer and Billy (strictly prohibited by Theo) and returns to the flat with two photo frames with hidden cameras. Not sure what his endgame is here. I guess we'll find out (slowly if the CBC continues to deprive us of episodes).
 
A few doors down, Carla decides to move back into her house - not to rekindle her relationship with Lisa but rather to keep an eye on Becky. Kit and Carla share a deep suspicion of Becky - and rightly so. 
 
Becky's latest manoeuvre is to ingratiate herself with Costello's daughter in the hospital waiting room. Her smarm offensive allows Becky to obtain Costello's password so she can access Costello's phone (stolen by one of her young hired goons) and erase any incriminating evidence. 
 
Becky has already tried (and failed) to kill Costello so who knows what she's capable of? As for Costello, it seems that he might be coming out of his coma but hopes are dashed when doctors tell Lisa and Kit that Costello may never recover and be able to identify his assailant.
 
And now for a few lines from the week that was:
 
Maggie scolds Ollie for his anger: 
"You were disrespecting my cake" 
(please apologize to the gateau) 

Maggie to Ken re:Tracy and Kirk who are carrying his Christmas tree:
"Why have a dog and bark yourself?"
(unless you really want to bark)  

Kirk's theory about the latest Asian spy technology:
"Chinese pigeon drones"
(first they poop.. and then they snoop)  

Maria to Eva:
"Do you still dabble in home wrecking?"
(depends on the home) 

***
Well fellow seasonal skivers, so ends another week. Thanks as always for stopping by and I do hope you have a wonderful week of joy and peace. Have a great week and a very Merry Christmas!

Coronation Street Catch Up: the winter of our discount tents edition

 your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
 
 
What the frig?

Our Friday night ritual (two episodes of Corrie, three Digestives, one pot of Yorkshire Gold tea) was rudely torn asunder when CBC - without warning - decided not to show any Friday episodes. 
 
We are not amused (or entertained) and we expect a formal apology in the House of Commons
 
As for the episodes we did see, the Todd and Theo cringefest continues to take centre stage. 
 
Todd goes to hospital to get medical attention for that nasty gash on his forehead that happened when Theo shoved Todd's face into a mirror.
 
Now Theo is re-writing history and telling everyone that Todd fell into the mirror. Theo's campaign of terror continues as he insists that Todd hide in the flat for a few days until his wound heals. Theo tells everyone that Todd's in London but when Summer sees movement in the flat, Theo claims that it was a burglar (as Todd hides in the bedroom). Todd is, of course, blamed by Theo again. 
 
Finally Theo gives Todd an activity tracker watch that Theo actually uses to keep tabs on Todd's movements. When Todd interrupts his training run (after he gets a leg cramp), Christina sees him in distress and insists that he stop and have a rest and a cuppa. Theo sees all this and, no doubt, Todd will pay the price for deviating from Theo's control - again. 
 
Still on the topic of Theo the Terrible, whatever happened to his kids? I thought they were the most important part of his life. Strange that they haven't made an appearance for many weeks.   
 
Over at the Chariot Square Hotel, Debbie delivers a speech about Women in Business. The speech gets off to a rocky start but the Debbie finds the words to talk openly about the challenges of her dementia diagnosis. Her heartfelt words receive a thunderous ovation from all her friends and neighbours.
 
The feel-good moment continues, fuelled by alcohol, and the ladies wind up being almost arrested by Weatherfield's finest - while Debbie is being pushed around in a shopping cart by her pals (don't ask).
 
By the way, Debbie has booked a date for her and Ronnie's wedding and she wants Carl to give her away. This after Carl finally manages to wheedle Debbie's login info to her bank accounts (so he can steal her money and scarper back to Germany).
 
Over at Carla and Lisa's house, Carla has moved out after coming to the conclusion that Becky is an impediment to Carla's relationship with Lisa. 
 
So the wedding is off. 
 
This opens the door for Becky to install herself and her Mark's Work Warehouse wardrobe (L'Equipeur in Quebec). No disrespect, it's a fine store. The point is that it's all working out very nicely for Becky as she comforts Lisa and even tries an ill-timed lip lock but is rebuffed.
 
On the other hand, Lisa seems quite happy to relate to Becky all the confidential details of the investigation into Costello's assault which leads Becky to the hospital ICU. As Becky prepares to use a hypo on Costello, Lisa walks in and wants to know what Becky is up to.
 
Roy is incensed to find Shona and Nina looking at his mail and finally confesses that his lady pen pal may be romantically interested in him. Quel quandry!
 
Asha is back at home and Dev, of course, keeps hovering and mithering (does he ever stop?). Asha breaks the news to Dev that she does not want to return to her job as a paramedic.
 
Daniel and Megan seem to be getting quite chummy and Megan has an interview for a job at Weatherfield High. Will is not amused.
 
And now for a few lines from the (shortened!) week that was:

Christina to Glenda:
"I'm a bit of a free spirit"
(as long as the spirits are free) 

Sally to Glenda and Christina:
"Did you know that I used to be Mayor of Weatherfield?"
(oh really? tell me less) 

Debbie's first rule of business:
"Never underestimate the power of a good hairdo"
(Just ask Madame de Pompadour)

Christina's words of wisdom:
"A woman is like a teabag"
(always in hot water?) 

Glenda (inebriated) to the police officer:
"Now is the winter of our discount tents"
(Shakespeare really had a way with words) 
 
Glenda questions Christina's description of herself:
"Is that free spirit or freeloader?
(bit of both I would say) 
 
Ryan shares his draft wedding speech with Carla:
"Once, twice, third time a lady"
(Good one, Ry)
 
Becky tries to cheer up Lisa:
"Do you still like cat videos?"
(only if the cat goes back to Spain)
 
***
Well, patient punters, so ends another (shortened) week.  Let that be a lesson to us to keep tabs on the TV listings for changes to the beloved broadcast of Coronation Street during the Christmas season. For example, I believe that this Friday's episodes will be shown in the afternoon (not evening) so please check your local listings for the broadcast time in your area (or watch on CBC Gem).
 
However you watch Corrie, do have a great week and thanks, as always, for stopping by.
