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.

Coronation Street Catch Up: the spikey-haired spectre at the feast edition

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

 

 

As we feared, the Theo and Todd story gets worse and worse.

 

The week featured another round of psycho-nut Theo bullying, taunting and punishing poor Todd. Theo forces Todd to sign up for a half marathon and insists on a gruelling schedule of training. Theo also continues to isolate Todd from his friends, the latest being Sarah. And, of course, Theo accuses Todd of flirting with Pete and then James. 

 

The last straw (at least I really hope it's the last straw) comes when Theo slams Todd's head into a mirror, leaving Todd shocked and bleeding.  How much more of this can Todd tolerate? Also, how much more can we viewers stand to watch?

 

Elsewhere the Becky saga continues as the previously-dead wife of Lisa plots to get Lisa and Betsy to run off with her to Spain. Step one involves sabotaging Lisa and Carla's relationship. To do this Becky sends herself a funeral wreath (showing that she's in danger and therefore must move into Chez Carla & Lisa). Then Becky pretends to be drunk to force Lisa to miss a lunch date with Carla. 

 

Carla finally takes the bull by the horns and breaks off her relationship with Lisa. Looks like Becky has won. 

 

In related news, Costello was mysteriously attacked and lies in the Intensive Care Ward in hospital. Was this also part of Becky's plan?  Kit is certainly suspicious. 

 

Dev continues to be his annoying self as he scolds Summer, Amy and Nina for not visiting Asha. Then, when the Amy and Nina show up to visit Asha, Dev is right there silently 'coaching' the girls. Summer shows up after frantically rushing to join the visitors and suddenly collapses in Asha's room.

 

Busted! Chesney discovers Fiz at the Chariot Square Hotel swanning around in a bathrobe. She was supposed to be visiting her Mum. What gives? Seems that her stressful daily workload made her want to escape for a while. Although, one wonders if the local hotel is a good choice given that almost everyone who works there would recognize her.

 

Speaking of the hotel, Debbie and Glenda have a bit of an argument about the choir that is performing at the hotel. However they soon make up and Debbie says she wants the choir to sing at her upcoming wedding.

 

Still with Debbie, she finally relents and agrees to let Carl manage her business accounts. 

 

Bad move. 

 

That's like putting a scumbag Fox in charge of the hen house - if the Fox also slept with his brother's Fox wife and issued dodgy MOTs to Fox car owners. Carl is putting his rip-off plan into overdrive because he is planning to scarper back to Germany. Good riddance. Not since the 1966 World Cup will England rejoice at the expense of the Germans. 

 

One can only hope that Ryan or Ronnie will be able to stop Carl from stealing Debbie's money before he books his flight (on SleazyJet one assumes).

 

And finally, isn't the Rovers overstaffed now that Ben, Eva, Maggie and sometime Ollie are behind the bar?  Just saying.

 

Also, no further news about Kirk's dog podcast. What gives?

 

Now for a few lines from the week that was: 

Lisa to Becky:

"Put some clothes on and make yourself scarce"

(Not necessarily in that order)

Lisa to Carla re: Becky:

"There are people out kill to her"

(The script writers?)

Carla's description of Becky:

"spikey-haired spectre at the feast"

(at least she now rings the doorbell before coming in) 

Underworld staff's social media vehicle:

"Stitchers whatsup group" 

(content is optional) 

Carla to Lisa:

"I'm constantly angry"

(what else is new?) 

 

Tracy to Kev:
"You're not a cruel person" 

(That's Tracy's job)

Carl to Debbie:

"I've always got your back"

(mostly for stabbing purposes) 

 

Becky to Lisa and Betsy:

"I've no idea who sent that wreath" 

(Maybe George sent it to the wrong address by mistake?)

***

Well, fellow 'spikey-haired spectre at the feast' spectators, so ends another week. Can't take much more of Theo the Terrible. I hope Todd escapes from that toxic relationship ASAP. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a great week. 

Coronation Street Catch Up: the kibble for David edition

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

 

 

I'm no high performance athlete but I'm not sure that Will's elite training regimen will get him to the next Olympics. It seems to consist of a quick jog around the Red Rec, a bag of chips, and some romantic banter with his coach. Usain Bolt can rest easy.

Will seems quite pleased. After all, he has managed to be disagreeable enough to get his Gran to pay for private training with Megan. One little snag is that Daniel seems to be interested in Megan and volunteers to see if there are any jobs for her in Weatherfield. Gemma seems to think that there are some romantic vibes afoot... 

 

So, one minute Becky is terrified that two thugs are following her and hides out at Carla and Lisa's place. The next thing you know, she's doing her 'pop in' thing in full regalia and takes Betsy out shopping in broad daylight. 

 

What's the deal? 

Are the gang members only on night duty? 

Are they now working from home?

Surely by now they've honed in on Becky's daily visits to Lisa?

Of course, the truth (as Carla has pointed out) is that these are fictitious dangerous criminals and it's all just a ploy for Becky to abscond to Spain with Lisa and Betsy. 

 

No wonder Carla thinks Becky is trying to sabotage her relationship by reporting fraud at the factory. When Carla gets hauled into the cop shop for questioning, she's livid and assumes Becky is responsible. Lisa subsequently discovers that it wasn't Lisa but rather the fella that Sarah tried (unsuccessfully) to charm with disastrous results.

 

But the main story continues to be Todd's nightmarish relationship with certified nutbar Theo. 

 

Theo's been a busy boy. First he gets Todd drunk and goes out of his way to make him late for work on an especially big day at the undertaker's. Then Theo foments animosity between George and Todd ultimately resulting in Todd quitting his job. Finally, Theo invites his one-night legover (Chris) over for dinner and forces Todd to be nice to him (so Theo can get work from Chris) only to lambaste Todd afterwards for... being nice to Chris.

Of course, this is not Theo's first gaslighting rodeo. He also abused - in a similar way - a former gay partner who ran into him at a recent street party. And, one wonders if, while Theo was in a heterosexual marriage, he exhibited any of those disgusting personality traits. Maybe Danielle has even experienced some of Theo's psycho behaviour?

Bottom line: Todd is in a downward spiral and needs help fast.

 

Over at Plattsville, David and Shona get more information about their unborn baby's precarious situation. Shona remains determined to go through with the operation to remove a lump from the neck of the fetus. David is not keen on putting Shona's life in jeopardy. 

 

In addition, David (against Shona's wishes) tells Toyah, Bethany and Nick the truth about Shona's pregnancy and they are all very concerned. In the aftermath to the revelation, both David and Shona reconcile and seem to be on the same wavelength about the challenges ahead.

 

Carl and Abi are nicely settled in their cozy love nest - or shabby hovel - depending on your point of view. Abi is becoming more stressed as she tries to get Carl to help out with Alfie and Carl keeps shirking his share of the work. Ol' Kev steps in a few times to take care of Alfie and finally loses his cool and threatens to sue for custody of the young fella. Abi's frustration boils over in the Rovers when she delivers a well-aimed punch to Tracy's chin.

 

Over at the caf, Roy is being very cagey and says he's writing letters to prison inmates and the mother of an inmate. Hmm. I'm sure we'll learn more about this.

 

Meanwhile Sally confronts Tim's former groomer (Trisha) with disastrous results as she insists that Tim was subject to an inappropriate relationship although Tim disagrees.

 

Oh, and Kirk wants to do a podcast about dogs. 

(That's about the cheeriest story of the week).

 

And now for a few lines from the week that was:  

Abi to Carl:

"What would I do without you?"

(be a lot happier?) 

Carla to Becky as she does her daily pop-in:

"In walks the not-so-dead ex"

(right on cue)

David to Shona:

"I'm just nipping out to get some kibble for David" 

(Is David talking about himself in the third person?)

Theo to Todd:

"You self-centered, pathetic, little man"

(More like a description of Theo)

***

 

Well, fellow Kirk Kolleagues, so ends another week. One hopes that the excruciating story line about Todd and Theo ends soon and that a scaffolding job in the Outer Hebrides takes Theo away from Weatherfield forever. Fingers crossed. Thanks so much for spending some time with us at the Hip. Have a great week.
