your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
If Summer married into Bernie's family, would she be Summer Winter?
(just asking)
As for the Dev-Bernie wedding, well let's just say it was unusual.
First there was the arrival of Auntie Rani, a severe lady who takes a dim view of Bernie and her friends. Then there's Bernie's plan to skim off money from Aunties' 25K wedding gift to help Aadi pay off debts he incurred while mismanaging Dev's shop. That plan seems to go awry when Auntie leaves suddenly before the wedding after Dev publicly admonishes her for calling Bernie "common".
The actual wedding went ahead... slowly.
Bernie was late because she caught Brody burgling Dev's house (apparently he was desperate to raise cash to run away to Spain with his sisters). No matter, Debbie managed to entertain the impatient guests with a stunning - extended play - vocal performance (Hopelessly Devoted to You). For an encore, she proposed to Ronnie (he accepted BTW) before Bernie showed up. One must say that Bernie's outfit was quite..um.. arresting and her blonde blob bun was effervescent.
But, hold on, as the ceremony got underway Bernie had trouble breathing. Could it be a panic attack?
Elsewhere the fallout from Kevin's lies (pretending he still had cancer) continues. When Debbie finds out, she is livid and disowns him and then, later, re-owns him. Kevin wants Carl to leave the garage and go back to Germany but he still seems to be hanging around.
For Abi, Kev's lies seem to be the green light for her to jump into bed with Carl. Carl tries to break off his relationship with Abi lest Kevin shop him to the police. Carl reveals Kev's blackmail scheme to Abi and another legover ensues. Carl then confesses all his misdeeds (debts, fake MOTs. car theft) to Abi who walks out on him but returns to his hotel room. Despite her misgivings, I think you can guess what happens next (it starts with "leg" and ends with "over").
Over at Eileen's house, Todd seems to have one bad idea after another. Certainly busting in on Theo's family get-together to tell everyone that Danielle's snog-partner is Noah was not a brilliant idea. Then there was the summit meeting with Billy and Danielle that also went awry.
The result?
Todd's sleeping on the couch (and it's his house!)
Poor James is no longer taking care of Laila as Dee Dee (as Laila's Mum) wants to be Laila's parent. James is ready to leave Coronation Street but Dee Dee tries to convince him to stay and help her raise Laila.
Lisa seems to be having a breakthrough in her therapy sessions as she struggles to decide whether her late wife (Becky) was corrupt. Nice to see that the therapy is finally helping but why does the therapist call someone and tell them about Lisa's breakthrough? And what is Kit's involvement in all this?
Meanwhile, Carla is trying to help Lisa and decides that one way is by visiting Logan Radcliffe in jail as apparently he and his brother may (or may not) know something about Becky's alleged corruption. One small snag. Logan wants 10K before he'll disclose any info but he gives Carla a tidbit of info for free.
Tim and Sally are worried about bruises on the arm of Shanice. Sally wants to call social services but Brody doesn't want social services involved because they might break up the family. Brody also attends a footie match with Kit as the two get to know each other.
And now for a few lines from the week that was:
Bernie to Nick as Dev does some pole dancing during his stag night:
"You'd be amazed at our bedroom athletics"
(try getting that image out of your head)
Mary recounts her India anecdote to the hen-do guests:
"I
often wonder how my life would have turned out if I hadn't eaten that
under-cooked prawn curry"
(fewer visits to the hospital ER?)
Shona to Auntie Rani and hen-do guests:
"This hen-do is the worst thing ever"
(and she's married to David)
Auntie Rani to Dev re: Bernie
"She is a common loudmouth"
(hold on! She's not common)
Debbie is escorted by Ronnie and Roy:
"Shall I be luncheon meat between a Royston and Ronnie sandwich"
(please! I just had breakfast)
Theo to Todd:
"Either you sleep downstairs on the sofa or you'll never see me again"
(but it's Todd's house)
Kev to Carl:
"Go back to Germany"
(or you'll miss Oktoberfest)
Logan Radcliffe is surprised to see Carla visit him in jail
"I've always been dead popular with lesbians"
(and the police)
"Patron saint of sticking his beak in"
(Saint Nosy of Assisi?)
Carl confesses his dodgy MOT activities to Abi:
"I've been doing it from Kev's garage"
(are we still talking about MOTs?)
***
Well, fellow pole dancing partisans, so ends another week. Sorry to see Auntie Rani leave so soon. Not sure what the end game is for Abi, Carl and Kev but it doesn't look good for Kev, the garage, Carl, Abi or the Federal Republic of Germany. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great week!
