Coronation Street Catch Up: the two snogs on a runaway train edition

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

Like a slow-moving, bald Sherlock Holmes, Tim is gathering vital clues about Stephen's deception and watching him like a hawk.

This comes after Elaine collapses in her flat after Stevie switches her blood pressure medication and, as a result, she is rushed to hospital. But where was Stephen during this time and does his alibi ring true? Not for Detective Tim who sees a damning web of lies based on um.. bread. Specifically when Stephen bought it, why and where (don't ask... it's complicated). Crumbs!

Of course, Steve-o has an answer for everything but it doesn't really add up and Tim is very suspicious.

Elsewhere, Ryan and Daisy have Snog 2.0 and it could well have gone further except that the Nasal Nymph (Carla) walks in and the twosome quickly unlock lips. Subsequently, Ryan learns that it was Daisy pretending to be Crystal (not Karen as he was initially led to believe). Ryan is furious and tells Daisy that he's going to tell Daniel about Daisy's snogging exploits.

Isabella is making a nuisance of herself and definitely out-staying her welcome. Brian is also tiring of her Neapolitan charms (minimal at best). In an effort to get rid, Brian maps out a trip for Isabella to take in some exotic locations (Southport?) but Isabella insists that Brian should be her guide. Not since the Romans invaded Britain, has an Italian invasion wreaked such havoc on Blighty.

In an effort to prevent her parents from losing everything, Amy agrees to write a retraction about her rape. Aaron doesn't agree with what Amy writes and that leads to a tense confrontation where Aaron all but admits his guilt. Aaron drops the lawsuit and afterwards Amy wants to move on but she is still struggling and, on top of that, she discovers that she will now have to repeat her year at Uni because she's missed so much work.

Damon continues to hang around the Bistro which is getting on Adam's nerves as he tries to mend his marriage with Sarah. Adam pops into the Bistro and tells Nick that they must get rid of Damon. But how, one wonders.

Billy and Paul are back from Wales. Apparently it was a good vacation but now they're back and Paul wants Bernie to stop interfering as he copes with his terminal illness. 

Max and Bec seem to be getting along very well but surely things will come to an abrupt end when she learns more about Max's recent past and discovers that Speed Dal is off limits due to conditions of Max's release from detention.

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

Ryan to Daisy:

"You're Crystal, right?"

(Correctamundo)

Ryan to Daisy:

"You made me fall in love with Crystal and you"

(double whammy) 

Ryan to Daisy re: their illicit kisses:

"Two snogs on a runaway train"

(is that the latest Tom Cruise movie?)

Rita to Audrey and Jenny re: Isabella:
"She wouldn't know the difference between toffee and Turkish delight"
(toffee is chewier)

Isabella to Rita:

"You are a bad woman"

(oh snap! Now you've crossed the line!)

Mary to Brian on the ills of smoking:

"Mother used to smoke a shisha pipe once a year on Halloween"

(must have been fun for the kids)

Daniel's offer to Daisy:

"Pizza in bed and a foot massage"

(just don't get those two things mixed up)

Ryan tells Daniel what he can expect from women:

"You mean you might get a pity snog"

(one might say a pity snog is better than no snog at all)

Tracy to Mary re: the florist shop:

"I'm not in this business to please people"

(in fact that's her slogan)

 

Mary to Brian at the Rovers:

"I just popped in for a medicinal Dubonnet"

(is there any other kind?)

Isabella is anxious to start her tour of exotic locations with Brian:

"The Paris of the North: Southport"

(the signature Southport dessert is the world-famous "Trifle Tower")

Well, fellow cobbleros, so ends another week. Finally someone (albeit Tim) is getting wise to Stephen's lies.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
