Coronation Street Catch Up: the terrible taste in men edition

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


Tip for Cassie: You should never leave cash in the fridge... in case your money is frozen.

But I digress (already?) Here's the thing. Cassie and Evelyn staked out the house of puppy felon Terry. While Evelyn tried to video Terry in front of his house, Cassie sneaked in and stumbled upon Terry's puppy mill. As she tried to rescue the pups, Terry walked in and Cassie slugged him. Then she scarpered with a bunch of cash which she saw lying around.

Terry was taken to hospital but recovered and was charged by police. The puppies were rescued by an animal charity. Evelyn avoided being thrown in jail as there was no evidence to show that she clobbered Terry. 

As for the cash, Cassie stashed it in freezer of the wobbly fridge in Ty's house (someone should do something about that). However, seems that the all-seeing, all snooping Hope spies Cassie withdrawing some of her.. um.. 'cold', hard cash and wants a cut in order to stay quiet.

Finally Evelyn learns the truth about Cassie, her run-in with Terry and the cash she took. Cassie tries to make amends by giving the money to a charity. 

Evelyn decides to move back to Chez Dobbs and give Ty a chance to take a holiday with Fiz in Italy. Bene!

Since Evelyn is moving out of Roy's, Nina can comfortably move back in as she has broken up with Asha after confessing to a minor smooch with Aadi. An overly-aggrieved Asha pops into Aadi's flat and finds him passed out on the sofa. She leaves. It is left to Amy to get into the flat and she discovers that Aadi is suffering from Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Fortunately there is a spare bed for him at the Coronation Street Wing of Weatherfield General Hospital and he makes a speedy recovery. 

As for Damon. Well there's good news and bad news.

The good news is that Sarah now wants to be with him and they have a celebratory leg over.

The bad news is that Damon's car is now a compact. 

The car crushing is the work of half-brother Harvey who is out to get Damon and mentions Sarah and Harry in a threatening manner.

And there's more bad news as Adam wants to get rid of Damon and makes a deal with Harvey to make that happen. Harvey, in return, wants Adam in his back pocket for "future considerations" (as they say in hockey). 

But perhaps the worst news is that Sarah (for reasons one cannot fathom) decides that this is a great time for her to introduce the big D to the Platt family. I mean, I know Damon's a lowlife and a bad dude but this is cruel and unusual punishment - even for him.

Meanwhile, over at Chesney's house, Glam Gran Linda shows up and wants to know why Gemma isn't living in the house (as we know, she's not allowed while social services conducts an investigation). Linda offers to support Ches if he decides to pursue sole custody of the quads plus Joseph. Yikes!

Oh, and Joseph is still not well and the only one who knows it is Gemma.

And now for some lines from the week that was:

Cassie tells Evelyn that she freed the puppies at Terry's house:
"Who let the dogs out?"
(I believe was you)

Damon taunts Harvey:
"You've got the name of a show jumper"
(oh, oh, you've 'spurred' him into action)

Nick to Gail re: Damon:
"They're all saying he tried to kidnap Adam"
(and they're right)

David re: Sarah's announcement that she and Damon are a couple:
"A couple of what?"
(don't ask)

Gail to Audrey re: Sarah:
"She's got such a terrible taste in men"
(Is there a pot calling a kettle black nearby?)

Roy explains to Nina an exciting development about bats:
"They are more closely related to humans than rodents"
(whereas Harvey is more closely related to rodents than humans)

Evelyn to Roy re: Terry the puppy mill villain:
"He's like a ferret on adrenaline"
(a very bad ferret)

Carla to Bobby:
"Did you take my banana?"
(if so, she's calling Craig in to press charges)
 
Evelyn to Ty:
"I am Puppywoman!"
(Marvel's newest superhero)

***

Well, Super(bowl) Street fans, so ends another week. Damon is back and trouble seems to follow him like a shadow. Harvey is up to no good. Adam is also up to no good as he makes a deal with Harvey which he is surely bound to regret in the fullness of time. Thanks, as always, for the pleasure of your company here at the Hip and I hope you have a great week.
