Coronation Street Catch Up: the geriatric gigolo edition

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


So Summer seems to have not one Dad but three Dads - a veritable Dad Triad or Tri-Dad.

Rev. Billy is supportive of Summer and Aaron, who is struggling to deal with his abusive father. Todd is also supportive and fairly easygoing. Paul, on the other hand, thinks Aaron is a bad influence and tells him to break off his relationship with Summer.

Things come to a head when Aaron learns that his Dad has been taken to hospital and he blames himself for not taking care of his alcoholic father.

But the big news is Stu who finally learns the identity of the person who killed Charlie, a crime for which he was wrongly convicted and spent a long time in jail. No, it wasn't his ex-wife. Turns out it was his daughter, Brigitte

After recovering from the shock, Stu wants to put the past behind him but, unfortunately, Alya and Dee Dee have gone ahead and sent scene-of-the-crime DNA for testing. The results show that Brigitte was the culprit. Then, within what seems like a matter of minutes, the police show up looking for Brigitte. Stu assumes that it was Yasmeen who summoned the cops.

Despite Tracy's evil marrow ploy, Wendy is steadfast and ingests the stuffed delicacy with a steely resolve. Tracy has no choice but to back down from her objections to the Ken and Wendy relationship.

Over in Plattsville, David is sure that Max is the culprit behind some ugly troll comments about Maria's efforts to help a recent refugee. Max insists that he's innocent.

Tim and Sally seem to be getting it on (as Marvin Gaye once put it). Despite their hunka hunka burning love, one can't help but notice that Tim and Aggie continue to exchange text messages.

Bernie's doppelganger shows up and it looks like she's up to no good. Speaking of no good, Nick and Leanne are shocked to receive letters from noted drug dealer and incarcerated felon, Harvey Gaskell.

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

A defiant Wendy to Tracy:
"Stuff as many marrows as you like"
(just the one would suffice, I would think)

Mary has a novel idea for the play:
"I'd love to see what would come up with a little improvised rapping"
 (Probably my breakfast and anything else I ate)

Tracy to Brian and Mary re: Wendy Crozier:
"She'll always be WC to me"
(Trust Tracy to 'sink' to that level)

Sally to Tim about the special meal she made for him
"My saucisson en croute"
(you mean sausage roll?)

Ken to Tracy after she makes stuffed marrow (Deirdre's signature dish) for Ken and Wendy:
"Only you could spend two hours preparing a meal to spite somebody"
(Maybe Jamie Oliver could do it?)

Tracy bursts into a book reading event to embarrass Ken:
"There he is: geriatric gigolo"
(I prefer 'retired Romeo')


Author Persephone's book inscription to Ken:
"To the oldest swinger in town"
(Yeah, baby!)

Tim interrupts Sally's dancercise session:
"It wasn't aerobics that turned me on"
(better check with Aggie to see what she thinks)

Sally to Tim after their exercise session:
"I think we need a brew after that marathon"
(or at least a cigarette)

Well, corrie connoisseurs, so ends another week. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week.
