your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
It's enough to make your skin crawl.
Am I talking about Corey Brent the toe rag? No (although he is horrible). The plot to kidnap Sam? No, not that either (although that too is reprehensible). I'm taking about the excruciating faux sex dance between Dev and Sharon.
Sharon, as you know, is like Wile E. Coyote, unsuccessfully seeking Simon and his Mum. After a series of spectacular failures (and under duress from Harvey, the drug kingpin in jail), Sharon gives gullible Dev the "come on" so she can use Aadi's videogame chat function to connect with Simon and get him to reveal his location.
Long story short, it doesn't work and Dev is left all... um... hot and bothered (but well stocked with vodka and peach schnapps). The bad news is that Sharon has now resorted to kidnapping Sam as a means to finding out where Leanne, Nick and Simon are hiding.
In other news, Johnny is back at the Rovers after serving his prison sentence. However he senses something is amiss. He's right but he doesn't know that Jenny added a leg over to the B&B amenities while Ronnie was staying there. Unfortunately, Jenny confided in Daisy which probably isn't a good idea.
Speaking of weeds, Daisy is recruiting one of Sean's former homeless mates, Carol, to become the newest pigeon in the Double Glammy Scammy. Has that woman no scruples?
Speaking of "no scruples", Corey is still evading justice while Kelly is remanded in custody in connection with the killing of Seb and attack on Nina. Asha has a plan to gain Corey's trust and get him to confess to the crime but it's a long shot. While that's happening, Nina is back home at Roy's and has renounced her Goth identity which she believes is responsible for her being targeted and Seb being killed.
Busy businesswoman Debbie wants to sell the flat where Ty, Alina and Emma live. Ty is trying to raise the money to buy the flat (with no success to date) while Alina is already planning to redecorate. Emma is left to look for another place to live.
Cathy is becoming more and more difficult to live with over at Yasmeen's house. Natasha offers David money to fix the sinkhole in his backyard (shouldn't Ray or Debbie be doing that?) Steve uses Amy's razor to shave his legs and groom Rover. Oh the horror!
And now for some lines from the week that was:
Sharon asks Dev to make her cocktails as a diversion while she tries to discover Simon's whereabouts:"I quite fancy sex on the beach"
(you wouldn't like it - the sand gets everywhere)
Sharon sees Dev carrying a box of fish:
"What's a nice guy like you doing with a plaice like that?"
(on a "scale" of 1 to 10, I give that a 2)
Sharon pretends to come on to Dev:
"I must sound like a right slapper"
(no comment)
Nina to Roy about the fact that they don't fit in:
"We are freaks, Roy, you and me"
(Corey and his scumbag mates are the freaks)
Ed to Ronnie after discovering Jenny hiding in the van:
"You're using my camper to have a bunk up with the local landlady"
(well, you're half right. He's not using the camper though)
Ronnie smooth talks Jenny as she's making hotpots:
"A woman like you shouldn't be elbow deep in any lamb chunks"
(what kind of woman should be elbow deep in lamp chunks?)
Jenny to Ronnie:
"I'm known for my dander"
(let's not go there)
Audrey to Gail re: Sam:
"Isn't it lovely to finally have someone with brains in family"
(another Platt milestone)
Well, fellow Weatherfield watchers, so ends another week. Kelly was sent to prison, so Johnny gets out and the prison equilibrium is maintained. Thanks for spending some time here at the Hip and I hope you have a great week. Cheers!
