Coronation Street Catch Up: the how not to propose edition

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


How Not to Propose in 5 easy steps:

1. Get very drunk.
2. Yell at a window.
3. Use your late wife's wedding ring to propose with.
4. Get the name of the person you're proposing to... wrong.
5. Replace name of person you're proposing to with the name of your late wife.

Daniel sank to rock bottom last week as he made a desperate plea to Bethany to marry him, using Sinead's ring. Bethany was suitably horrified and made the decision to head to London for her magazine internship without Daniel and Bertie. Probably for the best.

Elsewhere, marriage takes a more positive turn as Adam marries Sarah. And, surprise, surprise, Daniel even agrees to go to a Scottish therapy retreat (specializing in kilt complex, no doubt) to get over his grief and Beth accompanies him to take care of Bertie.

Adam also takes time out from his nuptial bliss to discover Ali's legover experience with Maria at Trim Up North. Adam then proceeds to rankle the trigger tempered Gary who in turn finds out that Ali has been seeing Maria and gets his old colleague, Sharon, to drop a drug into Ali's drink which precipitates an urgent trip to the hospital for Ali.

Craig is trying to get into shape by jogging while Imran is pretending to go jogging.

While over at the garage, Jade mistakes Tyrone's kindness for a come on and lays a lip lock on the surprised mechanic. She then tries to tell Fiz that Ty and she are an item. Doesn't work. And then tries to get Hope to slag off Fiz. Doesn't work. And, with that, Jade is told to sling her hook.

Aggie receives her Golden Heart Award for trying to help Robert during the shooting rampage. The Baileys are beaming with pride but a reporter happens to quiz James on a social media rumour (thanks to Danny) which suggests that he is gay.

Roy and Nina discover that they share a passion for bat watching (who knew?), but the other members of the Bat Society are not too chuffed that Nina is being allowed to participate in the sacred ritual of sitting in a cold space waiting for a nocturnal presence.

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

Carla to Roy about the members of Weatherfield Bat Society:
"Will they be arriving in a Batmobile?"
(good one)

Roy insists that Nina has a genuine interest in joining the bat society:
"Why would anyone pretend to be a bat lover?"

(to get free hot chocolate?)

Daniel to Bethany:
"Sinead, will you please marry me?"
(maybe you should ask Sinead)

Bethany to Daniel:

"I'm not your dead wife"

(Daniel may want to write that on a Post-it note)

Jade describes Fiz:

"The human equivalent of watching paint dry"

(Semi-gloss paint can be quite exciting) 

Adam to Ali:
"What happens in the Rovers stays in the Rovers"

(Sure... and chickens have lips)

I may quibble with Coronation Street from time to time (well, most of the time), but, in a world turned upside down, thank goodness we still have Corrie to turn to every evening to distract us for half an hour (one hour on Friday).  

Thanks so much for stopping by. Do stay safe and healthy. Take care of yourselves and wash your hands frequently. All the best.
