Coronation Street Catch Up: the Evelyn commandeers Roy's Woody edition

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


Now that I've recovered from my eggnog-induced stupor (or was it the rum-soaked Christmas pud?), I'm back.

And, speaking of stupors, Jenny seems to be drinking herself into one after extensive GPS tracking of Johnny and Liz leads her to the inevitable conclusion that the two are having it off (again).

Wrong! If Jen had switched on Google's sophisticated Legover Positioning System (LPS), she would know that Johnny was just giving Liz a ride to the police station and nothing more.

Elsewhere, Dev discovers the true story behind the Great Kebab Shop Robbery and learns that it was all a ploy badly executed by Ches and orchestrated by Beth in a futile attempt to get cash for an experimental cancer treatment for Sinead. The result? Ches is fired and then rehired but loses the much sought after status of Kebab Manager (and the accompanying executive perks like unlimited free hot sauce).

Poor Brian is getting the gears from Phil-istine who is trying to drive Brian out of the school through a series of bully boy tactics. Let's hope the Nativity Play is a success - for his sake.

On the baby front, it looks like Michelle is warming to the idea of having a baby with Robert (I credit her new bangs with the change of heart).

So Robert abandons his plan to do the "baby thing" with Kate which means Kate is distraught, which means Rana finds out, which means they break up, which means they then make up, which means they then break up again when Rana discovers that Kate tried to have a quickie with Adam Barlow (thus circumventing the whole artificial insemination red tape business). Anyway, Kate and Rana are splitsville.

And, the big news is that Cerberus has been found. Thanks to Roy and his legendary Woody, Evelyn located the missing hound which has been "adopted" by someone. The police can't help so it's left to Evelyn to figure out a way to retrieve her beloved canine.

Sad news. Archie the Undertaker has (somewhat ironically) passed away. He left a Brass Monkey to Ken and 80,000 pounds to Audrey. "Tally Ho!" says Lewis the Scammer. Hmm.

And now a few lines from the week that was:

Dev to Chesney:
"You're sacked!"
(don't worry, he gets hired again)

Roy to Ty regarding Cereberus:
"A dog on a tram would be memorable"

(like a fish on a bicycle)

Gemma's description of heartless Dev:
"Weird kebab shop owner robot"

(that's about right)

Craig to Evelyn:

"What's a Cerberus?"

(don't ask)

Evelyn (while in Roy's car) to the policeman:

"I'm only here because of his Woody"

(that's what they all say)

Rana to Kate upon learning about her Adam Barlow exploit:

"Now you're suddenly bisexual?"

(not that there's anything wrong with that)

Well, festive followers, so ends another week and next week should be good as the Street celebrates Christmas as only Corrie can. Thanks for tuning in and forgive me for the late posting. Now, it's back to the eggnog. Happy New Year!
