Coronation Street Catch Up: the naughty nuptials edition

a look back at last week on Canada's Coronation Street...

Yes, it's the sham wedding of the century on Coronation Street as Mary and Norris tie the quasi-knot. It's a sorta "you may now shake hands with the bride" kind of affair.

Jude's wife is suspicious of the semi-happy couple and their rationale for marriage. She is also learning more about Jude's father and the unhappy circumstances behind Jude's birth.

Chesney takes Hope and Ruby on an outing, suffers a panic attack and leaves the kids on a bus. The kids are alright and Ty finds Ches in Roy's allotment shed in a terrible state.

Shona wins 6,000 pounds on a lotto scratchcard and considers using the money to fund an appeal for her Kylie-killing son but she thinks better of it, tells David, has a tense confrontation and winds up in a snogfest at Roy's Rolls (I guess that's what they call "a full English").

Rita is becoming increasingly forgetful and, when Gemma points this out, they have a falling out. Sarah and Gary have a falling out over Gary's secret job in the Ukraine. Kate finds out about Alya and Luke.

And the surprise news of the week: in a Stephen King-esque twist, we discover that poor old Andy is being held prisoner in the basement of an old house by evil Pat Phelan and has been there for several dozen episodes - long enough to grow a hipster beard. Poor Andy.

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

Sean re: the appearance of Norris' tie for the wedding:

"It's small and tight and rigid, just like you"

(does it have a tiny sweater vest too?)

Sean takes a photo of the Norris/Mary wedding party:
"Everyone say 'naughty nuptials' "

(whatever happened to "cheese"?)

Jude's wife quizzes Mary about which movie she was at when Norris allegedly proposed:
"It was Mad Max 2"

(the story of an apocalyptic future? seems appropriate)

Kate catches Alya and Luke snogging in the flat:
"I hope this isn't what I think it is"

(what do you think it is?)

Norris to Mary re: their sham marriage

"It's not bona fide, it's bogus fide"

(semper fake-eles)

Nicola confronts Phelan about his temper:
"I'd heard you had a bad side"

(not just a side, more like a 360 degree panorama)

Well, Weatherfield watchers, so ends another week with Andy in dire straits and the truth about Mary's son about to be revealed to Jude's wife. Thanks for stopping and I hope you have a great week. Cheers!
