Coronation Street Catch Up: the Flashy Carbuncle edition

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


Well, I guess it had to happen. 

Sarah almost gets caught in "Bistro Flagrante". The menu? Legover Easy with Damon in the office only to be rudely interrupted by Nick, Leanne, Dee Dee and Adam who come barging in.

Damon saves the day with some quick thinking and Sarah manages to escape but that doesn't fool Dee Dee who soon figures out what happened behind closed doors. Meanwhile Adam is working diligently on the late night licence for the Bistro and is so far unaware of Sarah's horizontal hi jinks with Damon.

Speaking of the late night licence, it seems that the locals are not keen on the extended Bistro hours. Brian fears urination outside the Kabin (not his in case you're wondering). Ken is worried about the noise. This could spell trouble for Nick and Leanne as they need the licence to boost revenue.

Speaking of Damon, seems he has done a solid for beleaguered Paul. The woeful Paul's latest ill-advised gambit is to threaten to rat out Damon and his thug colleagues. The thug colleagues are - how you say - peeved and want to give Paul a smack down but Damon steps in and takes the beating for Paul (you're welcome).

Dee Dee is becoming exasperated with Paul's antics: his aborted car theft, his goofball scheme to blackmail Damon, his refusal to reveal his terminal illness etc. etc. Now Paul could face jail time for stealing Rufus' car which means that he would miss Gemma's wedding (apparently that's a bad thing).

Ryan claims he is doing fine but he is having panic attacks and misses a doctor's appointment. Fortunately, he has been texting back and forth with Crystal which boosts his spirits but - hold on - that's not Crystal, it's Daisy pretending to be Crystal. 

Daniel is busy trying to teach uninterested young juvies including Max who snags Danny Boy's phone and records a video about how miserable he is. Daniel is determined to respond to Max's cry for help.

Evil Stephen is jealous of Owen's budding romance with Jenny and tells Jenny that Owen is not to be trusted as he is a sleazy player. Jenny believes Stephen. Speaking of Jenny, she pushes the boat out in honour of the Coronation of King Charles. Hear ye! Hear ye! Let there be sarnies and frozen shrimp for all!

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

Canadian Stephen gives Beth a lesson about Charles III:
"He's my King too"
(Charles may disagree)

Audrey is not happy to hear Stephen's plan to elope with Elaine to Vegas:
"When did you become a fan of Elvis?"
(during Jailhouse Rock?)

Brian alerts George to a prestigious contest:
"Model seaman of the year"
(winner gets a tiny trophy)

Elaine admits that she and Stephen are acting hastily:
"a couple of giddy kippers"
(sounds fishy) 

Brian refutes the idea that he covets George's Golden Hind:
"I'm jealous of that flashy carbuncle?"
("Flashy Carbuncle" was Drake's first choice for his ship's name)

Gail to David and Shona:
"I've just had one of the best sleeps of my life"
(...and it's all thanks to her vibrator)

Stephen to Jenny re: Owen:
"Sleaze bag may be a better word"
(better or untrue?)

Well, Coronation connoisseurs, so ends another week. I guess Sarah really is attracted to the bad boys. Her surreptitious sexual escapade with Damon can't end well, can it?  Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
