Coronation Street Catch Up: the annoying moron edition

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


Just when Eileen seems to be back to her old self after another disappointing romance, who shows up in her kitchen but Jan himself and (when Eileen stops throwing groceries at him), he reveals that he's a police informant. So now what?

Elsewhere, Steve, the paternity plank, has revealed to Emma that he is her Dad. Emma is not pleased and tells Steve to get lost. Emma then decides to leave Weatherfield but Amy intercedes and an impromptu posse is formed to intercept Emma at the train station and convince her stay. She finally agrees.

Max is acting up and not taking his medication, mainly because his Dad is in prison. Shona is having a hard time keeping it together by herself. Speaking of David, does the prison have a tanning salon? Or maybe the screws took the inmates to the Costa del Sol for a couple of weeks? Either way, Davey looks rested and bronzed... if incarcerated.

The Bailey backstory is finally revealed. Seems that the reason they sold their nice house and moved into Coronation Street is because Ed had (has?) a gambling problem. Aggie learns the truth after her bank card is rejected at Dev's. The family is in jeopardy and Aggie finds refuge at Roy's cafe where she gets a job burning eggs.

Meanwhile the Lord of the Rings (aka Robert) has a bit of a problem. Seems that arch rival Jed broke into Robbie's car and found a second ring. He seems to be cluing in to Bobby baby's subterfuge.

And now let's delve into some lines from the week that was:

Moira, upon learning that Liz can't decide whether to buy a leopard print or zebra outfit:
"Quite the zoological quandry"
(one might say an endangered fashion sense)

Eileen to Moira:
"What's the anagram for annoying moron?"
(give me a clue)

Jed to Robert after he finds a second ring:
"Why would a man need two of these?"
(For God's sake, I hope you're talking about the rings)

Steve to Liz:
"Emma attacked me with a DAD wreath"
(they do say "say it with flowers")

Tim to Steve:
"Your sperm must have superpowers"
(invisibility is not one of them)

***
Well, fellow Corr-inthians, so ends another week. So glad to have a little respite from that Geoff/Yasmeen story line. Geez that guy gives me the creeps. I hope Tim gets wise to his Dad's pernicious nature. And Steve? Just like the Celine Dion song says, it seems that his heart (or, in his case, man essence) will go on. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
