Coronation Street Catch Up: the patron saint of discretion edition

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

Poor Melvin, we hardly knew ye!

Stop me if you've heard this one before. A guy walks into Roy's Rolls with a dog under his arm...

The guy is Melvin and the dog is Freddie. Melvin and Roy (and Freddie) set off for some bat watching but Melvin has a heart attack and expires (so, no chance for a BAFTA). Bottom line: Roy now has possession of Freddie. He (Roy, not Freddie) tries to enlist the help of Evelyn but she is still somewhat peeved at Roy following the demise of dear Cerberus, so no dice.

And, speaking of animal instincts, seems Sarah has finally succumbed to suave Demon (er, I mean Damon) and winds up in bed with the snakey charmer. Why? Who knows? Seems Sarah wants to punish Adam for neglecting her and Harry (ever tried the silent treatment?) and she falls (fairly easily) for Damon's backstreet smarm. 

But it's fine, right? Because Damon is going to prison for umpteen years. Um, hold on. Seems like Dee Dee (who's handling his case) has found a loophole which just might get Damon off the hook. So then what happens? Could Damon be Sarah's Callum 2.0? And what about Adam? Who's going to help him with his man bun, if he and Sarah split?

Speaking of bad decisions, Paul has fallen on hard times. First, he gets a diagnosis of a disease which is not only serious, but terminal. Not only that but he's in serious debt because he's not getting any compo. One wonders why Rev. Billy isn't more involved in Paul's doctor appointments and why he isn't offering to help Paul financially. But I digress. 

The fact is Paul is desperate and gets Damon to hook him up with a guy who pays cash for stolen cars. He does one job and now has his eye on Rufus' flash motor.

Ah, Rufus. So far, Elvis Costello's evil twin, has managed to avoid Stephen's death by one blow. However, the elfin entrepreneur is pushing his luck by insisting on 50% of the profits from Nipper Snapper. At the same time, Rufus offers Michael (who believes he is seriously undervalued at Underworld) a job.

George lends 5K to Glenda so she can buy into her friend's franchise for young budding performers. Eileen thinks it's a scam but Glenda is sure that her friend (Estelle) is genuine.

And now for some lines from the week that was:    

Eileen to Glenda about her memorable legover with a fella:

"You kept his undies as a souvenir?"

(most settle for a photo or trinket)

Damon to Sarah:

"I'm not proud of the choices I've made"

(we're not thrilled either)

Damon to Sarah re: his dislike of jail:

"I just don't like small spaces"

(there's plenty of room in the exercise yard)

Glenda to George:

"You know me, patron saint of discretion"

(at least that's what she tells everyone)

Glenda tells George why she doesn't mention the family business:
"It was bad enough being called Morticia at school"

(so George was called Uncle Fester?)

Well, Coronation Colleagues, so ends another week. I wonder if the King's Coronation will feature in upcoming episodes. I guess we'll see. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week. Hip hip hooray!
