Coronation Street Catch Up: the despicable two-faced jellyfish edition

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

Question: How many Battersbys does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: Ask Imram.

I jest but there's nothing funny about Imram's randy duplicity at the expense of Toyah and Leanne both of whom seem to be having it off with the libidinous lawyer and have popped by the office on several occasions to review his briefs.

It is Sally who is Imram's undoing. She spills the beans and Leanne and Toyah make Imram pay... for dinner at the Bistro. Imram is now motivated to defend Duncan and win his case against Sally.

In non-threesome news, the case of Liz's long lost daughter is revealed to be a scam. Seems this is a vendetta plot hatched by Big Jim McDonald and his unlikely love interest Hannah (also the faux daughter) to extract cash from poor Liz. Liz seems to believe the cock and bull story while Steve and Tracy are skeptical.

Tyrone appears to have tracked down his grandmother, a sharp tongued, ingrate named Evelyn with a skinny dog named Cerberus. As you may recall from your Greek mythology, Cerberus was the unpleasant multi-headed mutt that stood guard at the gates of the Underworld.

Speaking of Underworld, seems Carla has (unknowingly) hired the mother of imprisoned thug-in-training Tyler (the kid who was terrorizing Simon). This seems to be a deal breaker for Peter who now wants to withdraw his money from the factory.

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

Sally tells Toyah and Leanne what she thinks of Imram:
"a despicable two-faced jellyfish" 
(alternative aquatic epithet: a flounder bounder)

Toyah to Imram:
"You've just bagged yourself a couple of Battersbys"
(Did he have a Groupon for that?)

Steve to Hannah:
"Apparently you're my dead sister Katie"
(nice to meet you)

Evelyn comments on Tyrone and Fiz's house:
"Whoever lived here must have been a simpleton"
(thanks, grandma!)

Toyah to Imram during the sexual encounter:
"Vegetarians only account for one out of every 60 people in this country"
(stop, you're turning me on)

Sally to Leanne and Toyah:
"If I said, 'who's sleeping with Imran, who'd blush first?'"
(it would be a tie)

Well, Weatherfield Wanderers, so ends another week. Too bad Ryan didn't get rich on Bitcoin but then he would have just spent all the money. Seems he also has a lowlife pal who is working as a dishwasher at the Bistro and ogling Michelle. Hmm. Oh well. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
