'twas the night before Christmas and throughout the jail
Poor Sally was crying over her fickle male...
Spending Christmas in prison is no fun. Just ask Abi and Sally who are banged up inside although, to be fair, the screws did do a nice job of decorating the detention facility and that tough inmate did offer Abi a Christmas gift (albeit drugs).
Meanwhille, back at the Webster house, Tim realizes that he shared a bed with feckless Gina. Oh sure, Tim was well bladdered at the time but that's no excuse. Faye is not bothered but Sophie hits the roof. Oh, and by the way, Tim put the house up for sale to cover Sally's legal bills.
Steve pulls another classic blinder by getting a free all-expenses paid trip to Tenerife from Eileen (who can't use it) and presenting it to Tracy. Tracy is delighted until she discovers it's a freebie and Steve is back in the doghouse.
Jenny is spending the holiday season in a permanent drunken state as she frets over Johnny and Liz. In the process, she gets black eye and falls down the stairs.and also spoils Johnny's Christmas trivia quiz by shouting out the answers (I say, that's beyond the pale).
Despite showing up drunk at the Nativity Play and throwing up on the audience while in a harness (like Carrie or a demented Peter Pan), Brian is reinstated at the school following that damning video of bully boy Phil which got posted on social media.
Brian is also given another chance by Yasmeen to play Santa Claus even after his disastrous performance last Christmas.
Audrey decides to share her financial windfall with her family much to the apparent dismay of Lewis who may not be able to resist the temptation to return to his con artist tricks.
Looks like Daniel will have to make a vegan Christmas dinner for his family (he's not too happy at the prospect of making a Nutloaf for 20) and Gail is stuck in Milan. Triste.
And now a few lines from the week that was:
"A free kiss with every pint"
(Interesting marketing strategy)
Exasperated Johnny to Jenny:
"You're ruining the quiz"
(Or is she improving it?)
Cathy tells Brian to stop worrying about the animal's lines in the play:
"The donkey is hardly a key player"
"The donkey is hardly a key player"
(that's not what the donkey says)
Rana complains about Kate to Imram:
"She's cruising the streets for random sperm"
Rana complains about Kate to Imram:
"She's cruising the streets for random sperm"
(I hope she doesn't bump into Steve McDonald)
Cathy consoles Biran after his flying barf episode:
"I know the governors weren't well pleased with the vomit"
"I know the governors weren't well pleased with the vomit"
(Oh really?)
Tim singing in the Bistro at the Streetcars party:
Tim singing in the Bistro at the Streetcars party:
"A partridge in a spare tree"
(so the Vienna Boys Choir have been signing the wrong lyrics?)
Tim to Steve:
"It's about time this good man started being a bit naughty"
Tim to Steve:
"It's about time this good man started being a bit naughty"
(You mean like cheating at darts?)
Brian notes that his school performance review might be a tad negative:
"I did projectile vomit in front of the whole school"
Brian notes that his school performance review might be a tad negative:
"I did projectile vomit in front of the whole school"
(No need to regurgitate that episode)

Well, Christmas Corriephiles, so ends another week and (and since we are a week or so behind British Corrie, we'll finally get to see Christmas Day in Weatherfield on Monday). Loved hearing Abi quote lines from 'Fairytale of New York' which matches the mood of poor Sal. Thanks to you for stopping by, thanks especially for your kind comments and I wish you a wonderful week. Cheers!
