Coronation Street Catch Up: the Nice Day for a Fright Wedding edition

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

It looks like Daisy's Mum may be right after all - maybe all the family's wedding days are cursed.

How else to explain the horrific events of Daisy's wedding day as Justin (the stalker) shows up at the Rovers and throws acid at the bride-to-be... except he misses his intended victim and poor Ryan gets the acid instead.

It's a nightmare and Ryan's screams are truly awful. Daisy drags Ryan over to the shower and runs the water over his injuries. An ambulance arrives and rushes Ryan to hospital. Abi sees the ambulance outside the Rovers and comes over to help Daisy, then she calls Daniel to let him know what has happened.

Daisy, Alya and Daniel all converge on the hospital. Daisy is in shock. She goes outside only to see Justin siting in his car. She intercepts him, convinces him to open the car door and then jumps inside, using the car horn to attract attention. The police (who are at the hospital collecting info about the crime) arrive and arrest Justin.

Meanwhile, Ryan is being prepped for surgery.

In other developments, Amy is upset and edgy but still unwilling to say why or reveal what Aaron did, either to Tracy or to Simon. 

Evelyn blames Roy for the demise of Cerberus and Roy is truly sorry and guilt-ridden. Although Cerberus did eat an Eccles cake off the floor of the caf, it seems that Cerberus' kidneys were not functioning properly and may well have been the cause of the stellar canine's death. In any event, it is a great loss to the show as he was a BAFTA-worthy member of the cast.

Paul is in deep trouble as his nerve damage does not seem to be the result of the accident caused by Carla. So, no compo and, on top of that, he has no money to pay back the loan he took out - because he was expecting a lot of compo. 

Damon continues to sniff around Sarah like a base mammal in heat. Sarah seems flattered by his attention. 

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

Gemma to Daisy re: her red eye on the day of her wedding:

"Why don't you try an eyepatch?"

(why not go whole hog and have a pirate wedding?)

Inscription on Daisy's wedding cake:
"Happy Retirement Bernard!"
(lucky Bernard!)

One of Daisy's snotty schoolmates is not keen on the toilet roll wedding dress contest:
"I'd rather a game that doesn't involve loo roll"
(picky!)

Christina to Daisy re: the family curse
"No woman in our family has ever had a happy wedding day"
(the record remains intact)

Dee Dee to Damon re: his case:
"They stitched you up like a kipper"
(sounds fishy)

Damon to Sarah:
"I'm determined to get into your good books"
(50 Shades of Grey?)

Gemma suggests a classy hen do nuance:
"Get the stripper to dress as James Bond"
(the name's 'Stripper', 'Hen Do Stripper')

Gemma's Hen Do drinking game challenge:
"Drink if you would snog Ken"
(Cheers!)

Glenda to the Hen Do guests re: Daniel's bookish nature:
"There's something to be said for a man with a firm grasp on his Dickens"
(Great Expectations?)

Well, gobsmacked gang, so ends another week. An emotional and hair-raising end to the week which leaves us wondering what comes next. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
