Coronation Street Catch Up: the Ming Hole edition

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

Good News!

Gail's back from Milan and, no, she didn't get her hair done while she was away. So, no change there. Phew!

Also not changed is Gail's profound suspicion of master scamster Lewis Archer. She knows he's up to something and follows him to a hotel where he chats with a woman before going up to a hotel room. She tries to get some cellphone photos as proof but makes a cock up of it.

Meanwhile Lewis tells Gail to back off so what's he actually up to?

Elsewhere Peter has bought a dreary wreck of a snooker hall and Dev and Kirk tell him it's haunted - you know, just for a laugh. Peter turns the tables on them and gives them a scare but the scariest moment comes when he and Carla get chummy in the shade of a snooker table on New Year's Eve. (Nooo! Look away!)

More bad news for Liz. Sacked from the Rovers by Johnny and spied on by Jenny, she then gets injured in a hit-and-run and is finally discovered unconscious in her flat by Eileen.

Now recuperating in the Coronation Street Wing of Weatherfield General Hospital, Liz wonders if Johnny intended to hit her. Not so since it was actually Jenny who was behind the wheel, but Johnny takes the rap to protect her and claims his MS was the cause of the mishap.

The on again, off again romance between Kate and Rana is on again.

Tim finally visits Sally in prison and they manage to sort out all the devious stuff which Gina has been doing to create a wedge between them. Gina begs Sally for forgiveness. No way. As a result, Tim kicks Gina out of the house and Gina has now latched onto a gullible Kirk as a place of refuge.

And, lest you think that Christmas was a complete bust, let it be known that the hound they call Cerberus has been returned to Evelyn and she actually seems grateful to Ty for making it happen. It's a Christmas miracle!

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

Carla to Peter re: the snooker hall:
"It's a ming hole"
(yes, but as ming holes go, it's one of the best)

Peter tries to get romantic with Carla:
"I think our futures are linked"
(That's what they said about Britain and the EU)

Carla is not interested in getting romantic with Peter:
"I'm a car crash, you're a car crash"
(That's what they said about Britain and the EU)

Lewis tells Gail to butt out of his relationship with Audrey:
"If you don't stop meddling, you'll regret it"
(That's what they said about Britain and the EU)

Roy recounts his fondest yuletide memories:
"My mother made every Christmas hell"
(wasn't that a song by Bob Geldof?)

Jenny to Johnny:
"Merry stinking Christmas"
(or maybe that was a song by Bob Geldof?)

***
Well, festive followers, so ends Christmas and New Year's on Coronation Street. Not a lot of happiness permeated Weatherfield, I'm afraid. Oh well, at least Cerberus is back at home. Thank you very much for stopping by and I hope you have a great week. All the best!
