Coronation Street Catch Up: the Norris Cole Junior edition

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

Could it be true?

Could Norris Cole really have a soporific sprog, a stodgy son, a filial fussbudget, a... (get on with it - ed)

Colin thinks so and convinces Moira to snag a sample of Norris' blood to conduct a DNA test. Seems that sweater vests run in the family. As a "reward" Colin treats Moira to a roll in the hay (sans hay) on the floor of the corner shop (it's a veritable sherbet fountain of love).

On to more serious matters. Robert saves little Joseph and Jake from a speeding car but winds up in hospital where Michelle finally convinces him to check out his private parts (by a doctor). Seems Robert has a malignant lump and it's a grim situation for him and Michelle.

Who was driving that speeding car? Kate who was distraught after Rana went through with her wedding to Zeedan even though Rana really loves Kate and vice versa.

Meanwhile Chesney is being mentored by Tracy on how to be sneaky and duplicitous. Ches wants to ensure that Daniel doesn't get too cozy with Sinead and Tracy is helping him. Meanwhile the demands of looking after Joseph while Ches works all hours is taking its toll on Sinead.

Evil Phelan is upset to learn that Nicola is off to Australia and tries to enlist Anna's help to convince her to stay - by telling Anna that Gary is the father of Nicola's baby.

Sally celebrates her inauguration as Mayor only to have her reception interrupted by a court order stemming from Gina's debts. Good photo op (but not for Sally') as the household furniture is taken away.

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

Anna to Nicola:
"Do you know how you can tell when Pat Phelan's lying?"

(his lips move)

Anna to Gary re: being the accidental father of Nicola's baby:
"You can't get pregnant from talking"

(but use a condom anyway)

Colin to Norris regarding his taste in sweater vests
"It's me hipster look"

(well, it does highlight your erroneous zones)

Colin to Norris:

"You may be my father"
(like Darth Vader, only more boring)

Well, Corrie companions, so ends another week. Things are certainly getting bleak on the Street these days. I vote for fewer depressing story lines and more hi jinks. After all, we're approaching the holiday season and I would like to see Pat Phelan get his comeuppance for Christmas. At least that's what's on my Xmas list. Have a great week and thanks for stopping by. Cheers!
