Coronation Street Catch Up: the self-obsessed clothes horse edition

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

Good news! The doctor says Curtis is fine and his heart is just dandy.

There's only one snag. Ol' Curtis is convinced that all the doctors and tests are wrong. He insists that he has an incurable heart condition. That's only one red flag. Curtis also insists that he's estranged from his family and doesn't want any of them to attend his upcoming wedding to Emma. Plus he's dropped out of med school (was he ever in med school or is that fictitious too?)

Emma maintains her faith in Curtis despite all the disturbing signs and forges ahead with wedding plans. Even when Curtis' Dad shows up, Curtis manages to get rid of him before Emma gets suspicious (even though Curtis originally told Emma that his Dad was dead).

Elsewhere the Cold War between Aggie and Grace continues with Grace using Glory as a lever to extort a nice house to live in from Aggie and Edison (or else she will move away and take the baby with her). Meanwhile Michael knows nothing about this deal with the devil. The latest outrage comes when Grace gets a nice new sofa from the Baileys and then sells it to Bernie and pockets the cash. 

The bottom line is Grace just isn't that keen on motherhood. At one point, she decides to leave the baby at home in order to enjoy some mulled wine. When Bernie finds out, she is horrified.

Some actual good news. Nina comes to the rescue of Kelly who is truly down and out and living on the Streets. With the support of Stu and Aadi, Kelly now has a place to live (Dev's) and a job (at Maria's hair salon). To return the favour to Stu, Kelly lets him sleep in Maria's salon at night. Probably not a good move - especially when Maria finds out.

Things are going from bad to worse at Speed Daal. Ryan and Alya now know about Zeedan's plight and the fact that Hashim is forcing Zee to use the restaurant for money laundering. But it seems they have no choice but to go along with the scheme and hope that Yasmeen doesn't find out.

Over at the Rovers, the on-again, off-again romance between Daisy and Daniel is off. Daisy decides to try her luck with a dull but famous footballer and Daniel is suitably jealous but doesn't want Daisy to know. Meanwhile Summer is dressed to kill in the hopes that Daniel will notice. He doesn't... but Max does. Oh oh...

And now for some lines from the week that was:

Doctor to Curtis:

"Your heart is in A1 condition"

(so is your ability to deceive)

Max apologizes to Summer for his tasteless conspiracy movie:
"Sorry again about the sinkhole film"

(we all are)

Curtis' Dad quizzes Curtis about his lies:

"What does your bride-to-be know about you?"
(nothing)

Daniel warns Daisy's new beau about her skinflint tendencies:

"Tighter than a duck's backside, that one" 

(shouldn't that duck info be 'confit'-dential?)

Daisy questions Daniel's description of her:
"Self-obsessed clothes horse?"

( ...and she's a cheeky mare)

Daisy describes Daniel:
"You're self conscious. You're awkward and you're touchy. It's like going out with CP30"

(so then Adam would be R2-D2?)

Well, factitious and factual followers alike, so ends another week and the truth about Curtis slowly starts to emerge. I wonder when Emma will clue in to the deception. I hope it's before the wedding. Oh well. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
