your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
We definitely need some kind of hero to deal with the Carla-Becky situation and I can only think of one person suited to the job.
That's right. We need Peter Barlow to swoop in and rescue Carla, deport Becky, marry Lisa and introduce Betsy to Simon. There. Problem solved.
Of course that's not going to happen (pity) so Carla continues to remain bound, gagged and living in a closet thanks to evil Becky. Becky also tells Costello to keep his mouth shut or his family will be in danger. At the same time, Becky continues to smooth talk Lisa into resuming her wifely role and plans on establishing her old (pre-dead) life with Lisa and Betsy.
Elsewhere a lovely Christmas dinner at the Rovers is the setting for Moira to take a swipe at Eva by reading, out loud, a letter that Eva wrote to her terminated child. Moira thinks that Eva was - and is - having it off with Adam. Ben subsequently punches Adam. Eva later explains to Ben that she had the termination while she and Ben were estranged and insists that she is not having if off with Adam.
Ben then banishes Moria from the Rovers. Moira then commandeers poor Roy to take her to the Chariot Square Hotel. Ben and Eva make up while 'Fairytale of New York' plays in the background.
Sad news. Carl's Mom has passed away.
Not so sad news. Carl decides to have a therapeutic legover with James.
The randy twosome almost get caught red-handed by Abi but James makes a miraculous escape just in time. However, Abi gets suspicious when she finds a neck chain on the coffee table.
Carl says he found the chain in the couch. Not very convincing.
Next time say you had a surprise visit from Snoop Dog. More convincing.
David is not chuffed to be attending ante-natal classes with Shona and manages to insult the class instructor. Meanwhile, he is celebrating his birthday (which falls on Christmas day) and Gail remembers the occasion (via video call). David, BTW, is 35 years old (in dog years?)
Over at Todd and Theo's it's more of the same old, same old. Theo makes Todd cook Christmas dinner for a whole whack of guests (surprise!). Todd meekly accepts the task and their friends enjoy the meal. Theo starts yawning as a signal for everyone to get lost... pronto. Afterwards, the Olympic head games continue as Theo verbally harasses Todd.
And now for a few lines from the week that was:
Bernie tells the hen do her weirdest legover location:
"I have done it in a Glastonbury loo"
(...while Oasis was playing on the main stage no doubt)
James to Carl re: his hidden sexual nature:
"Secrets have a habit of coming out"
(the sooner the better)
Moira is delighted at the prospect of homosexual dinner guests:
"I do love a gay Christmas"
(Really? Try stopping by at Todd and Theo's and get back to me)
Evelyn to Roy re: the house of Carla and Lisa:
"What's been happening at the lesbian ranch?"
"What's been happening at the lesbian ranch?"
(Becky seems to have been doing some lassoing of Carla)
Adam accepts Moira's dinner invitation:
"We Barlow's would do anything to avoid Tracy's crusty nut loaf "
(even listen to Ken's rendition of 'Feliz Navidad' on the bells?)
Brian assures David he is not intending to stay for Christmas dinner:
"We're not peripatetic noshers"
(Isn't 'Peripatetic Noshers' the name of a techno-punk band?)
Christina at Todd and Theo's Christmas dinner:
"That is one hell of a moist breast"
(Let's keep the conversation civil, shall we?")
Eva to Maggie:
"You bitch!"
(le mot juste)
Eva to Moira:
"Why do you hate me so much?"
(how much time do you have?)
Evelyn to Lisa re: Carla:
"Maybe she's just not cut out to be a lesbian"
(It's not like the Girl Guides, you know)
George shares his thoughts out loud:
"Who doesn't have the hots for Alya?"
(put your hand up)
***
Well, fellow festive followers, so ends another week. Please! Someone rescue Carla from the surly bonds of...Becky. Thanks, as always, for dropping by. Cheers!
