Stop me if you've heard this one before. A Corrie guy is having it off with two women at the same time and decides that the best way forward... is to continue leading both of them on simultaneously.
It's so brilliant, I'm surprised Einstein wasn't oscillating between two legovers while discovering relativity.
Of course, Einstein wasn't doing that because it's incredibly plank headed. Which brings me to Robert, a veteran liar and expert teller of porkies.
On the one hand Michelle wants to get back together with him. Excellent. On the other hand Vicki wants to be with him and have a baby (a longtime desire of ol' Robbie). Also excellent. There's only one solution. Tell the truth? Nah. Better to run back and forth between the two women inventing cock and bull stories to cover one's tracks.
Oh, but look at me prattling on when I've buried the lede. Literally. Gary meets Rick the Loanshark in the woods with a shovel. They get into a fight. Yatta yatta yatta. Gary ends up alive. Rick ends up in the shrubbery... if you catch my drift. He is now an ex-loan shark and has shuffled off this mortal coil... into the soil.
Gary is somewhat shaken by this turn of events. He gets rough with Sarah. Meanwhile Sarah is going full tilt with Adam much to the chagrin of Gail. Gary thinks he may have lost his gold medallion at the grave site but, phew, Bethany finds it at the Platt house. Crisis averted... except that he killed Rick. Hmm. Could be a problem.
Seems Roy's mother had a long affair with a fella and Roy has discovered the truth. Now he's made peace with this family history and embarks on a quest to scatter his late Mom's ashes and see Carla.
The family feud between the Baileys and the Barlows seems to be over and now Steve, Tim and Kev have learned that James is an up-and-coming football star and have become groupies/stalkers.
Sinead is nervous about her scan results and Beth's photo of baby Harry has made it to the Weatherfield Gazette. Gemma is thinking of monetizing her quads.
Geoff continues to be singularly annoying and dominating towards Yasmeen. Steve is being extra-useless as he can't drive a cab. can't run Streetcars and now finds a way to stab himself with thistles while working at the flower shop.
And now for a few lines from the week that was:
Alya notices the two crustaceans on Geoff's lap.
"You've got crabs"
(that's one explanation)
Eileen's description of Steve after his disastrous flower shop internship:
"Spanner "
(Canadian translation: wrench - but in any language he's a tool)
Robert explains to Vicki why Michelle is still in the picture:
"I think she might have residual feelings for me"
(the wedding plans and sex are a bit of a giveaway)
"Unless you've got money and a bimbo girlfriend, you're nothing"
(ahh, but nothing with money and a bimbo girlfriend)
