your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
It's neither very 'Feliz' nor 'Navidad' over at Carla and Lisa's place as Becky continues to drive a wedge between Carla and Lisa while dredging up tiresome memories of old times (i.e. before she pretended to be dead).
Carla's fed up with Becky's shenanigans and decides she wants to spend Christmas with Roy rather than hang around with Becky, Betsy and Lisa rehashing the good old (pre-Spain) days.
Carla does have one trick up her sleeve. She pretends to be drunk and prompts Becky to confess her devious plan to win back Lisa. Carla records the conversation and plays it back to Betsy and Lisa but Lisa has simply had enough of the fight between Becky and Carla and insists she is not a prize to be won.
Meanwhile Kit is working overtime trying to discover the truth about Becky's evil deeds. Carla is on the case too. She brings her steno pad to Costello's bedside in hospital but only manages to elicit a word or two before Costello returns to an unconscious state.
A smidgen of Maggie's past is revealed through a couple of flashbacks and show her to be fiercely protective of her two young sons (Ben and Finley) and contemptuous of her husband who falls down the stairs after a push from Maggie. Maggie continues to waltz around the neighbourhood inflicting her particular brand of aggressive non-charm to one and all.
Perhaps the producers wanted to introduce a character in the tradition of Blanche Hunt or Ena Sharples but sadly (so far) Maggie has neither the wit nor likeability of either.
Over at the Chariot Square Hotel, Debbie has erroneously booked her wedding venue for 2027 instead of 2026. However Carl and Abi manage to book another suitable venue for the correct date.
Will is getting more and more cheesed off as Megan gets super chummy with Daniel. Even more problematic for Megan and Will is the fact that Lauren spies the two of them at a cafe being all touchy feely. It was only a matter of time before someone in Weatherfield saw the inappropriate twosome in a compromising situation. What will happen now?
At Tim and Sally's house, the couple are delighted to learn that Joanie has invited some friends over for a party but sadly none show up.
George remains very concerned about Todd and Christina tries to encourage him to take the initiative and see Todd.
And now for a few lines from the very short week that was:
Carla encourages Becky to return to Spain pronto:
"Feliz Navidad and all that"
(hasta la vista, Becky)
Carla to Lisa re: her recording of evil Becky:
"I had a lovely little chat with Lady Lazarus"
(good one)
Christina's description of George's legover prowess:
"Sex machine"
(way too much information)
Carla to Lisa and Betsy re:Becky:
"She is devious and dishonest"
(and those are her good points)
Carla to Becky:
"I've got to warn you. I'm a stubborn cow"
(So,Becky, why don't you moo-ve out)
Daniel to Megan:
"Would you like to come up for a cup of euphemism?"
(you mean sex?)

Well fellow Festive Followers, so ends another (very short) week. Thanks so much for the pleasure of your company throughout the year and I wish you nothing but health, happiness and high quality Corrie episodes in 2026. All the best and have a Happy New Year!
