Coronation Street Catch Up: the stent in your jacksy edition

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

Oh my! Looks like a riff on that "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus'" song as young Harry spies his Mom (Sarah) in a lip lock with bad boy Damon. 

The lovebird/jailbird duo are really skating on thin ice as they try to hide their animal passion. But watch out! Gail's already got her antennae up (you can't see them but they're somewhere under her hairdo) and that deadly, grim reaper look on her face tells us that she's very suspicious. 

Adam, however, remains blissfully unaware and is chuffed that he managed to get Damon's late licence for the Bistro.

Back at Platt central, Gail is wearing a similar judgey look as Max is released from detention and returns home with an ankle bracelet. Max is a lost soul and wants to make amends for his past sins but it won't be easy. Alya is still traumatized by Max's past, hate-filled exploits. Max makes a first move by writing a letter to Alya but she's not swayed by Max's remorse and would prefer that Max not be on the Street.

But the headline for the week is in the courtroom where, despite an aggressive performance by Justin's lawyer, the jury finds Justin guilty. It's been a hard journey for Ryan and Daisy who both testified at the trial. After the trial, Daisy has a heart-to-heart with Ryan that ends with a kiss (from her).

Ryan is confused and tells Daisy they shouldn't see each other anymore. Then he gets a text from Crystal (actually Daisy pretending to be Crystal). There's only one snag. Crystal had an accident and is in one of those patented Coronation Street comas. Unless she's got a really fancy iPhone with a mindconnect app, she would be unable to text. So who's sending the messages? That's what Ryan (and Carla) want to know.

Roy is recovering nicely after his heart surgery. Evelyn is clearly concerned but reluctant to share her true feelings, as is Roy. 

Ed and Aggie don't seem at all happy to meet their former neighbours from their old posh neighbourhood. They now face the prospect of entertaining the neighbours at their less glam digs on Coronation Street (hope the scaffolding is gone by then).

And now a few lines from the week that was:

Damon to Sarah:
"So where do we go from here?"
(the bedroom?)

Carla to Daisy:
"I'm pretty sure you can't text somebody when you're in a coma"
(better check with Rogers or Bell just to make sure)

Sarah to Damon as he reveals what he likes best about Sarah:
"If you say boobs or bum, you're in big trouble"
(he's in big trouble no matter what he says)

Ryan to Daisy as they argue in the Rovers before the trial:
"You're a manipulative cow"
(uddery false)

Evelyn criticizes Roy's positive outlook:
"Look where it's got you...in a hospital bed with a stent in your jacksy"
(a little higher than that I think)

Evelyn to Roy re: Freddie:
"He likes the soft brush around his ears and the wire brush on his belly"
(as does Ty, I believe)

Evelyn returns documents to Roy after his successful surgery:
"These are your 'sorry, I'm dead' letters"

(steamed and resealed)

Well, chipper chippy customers, so ends another week. Good to see that Justin did not evade justice (as we might have feared). How will Ryan react when he finds out who's really sending those texts from Crystal? Guess we'll soon find out. Thanks so much for the pleasure of your company here and have a great week.
