Coronation Street Catch Up: the West Side Story... with wrinkles edtion

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

 

 

It wouldn't be Christmas on the Street without a cat-fight, a non-cat-fight, a departure, a song and a wedding.

 

So tick all the boxes because the Corrie Christmas episodes had a bit of everything.

 

There was a cameo from noted psycho and amphibious killer Richard Hillman, one of Gail's notorious exes who showed up in a dream singing a Christmas song.

 

Then, a last-minute hitch as Audrey showed up during Gail's Hen Do and spilled the beans on Jesse's shady dealings with David. Once Gail discovered that Jesse helped launder the money which David stole from Harvey, the wedding was off. But the next morning (after Gail's nightmare about psycho Richard Hillman), Gail realized that Jesse wasn't so bad after all.

 

The two lovebirds made up and the wedding went ahead without a hitch...

I'm kidding of course. 

 

There were more fireworks, fights and snafus than question period in the House of Commons.

 

There was Nick snogging Toyah in full view of all the wedding guests just as Leanne walked into the Bistro. A few insults ensued followed by a vicious fight between Leanne and Toyah which resulted in Officer Craigie intervening and getting assaulted by Leanne. This after a couple of coppers showed up earlier to arrest Nick and Toyah for fraud (based on Leanne's trumped up evidence) however Nick managed to make it back to the Bistro before the wedding was over.

 

Then there was David who was convinced that Shona had a one-night stand with Adam. David planned to get Adam drunk and confront him but the plan backfired and, during a tussle between David and Adam, Adam wound up falling down the stairs of his flat. Adam was taken to hospital but fortunately he's fine. Shona subsequently insists to David that she didn't have a legover with Adam (pity!) but she refuses to identify the culprit (Kit).

Meanwhile ol' Kit is a busy fella as he seems to be solely responsible for investigating, arresting and interrogating every crime - or possible crime - on the Street. 

Outside the Bistro, Daniel and Bethany are a having a heart-to-heart while Daisy watches, waiting to have a chance to talk to Daniel (for whom one suspects she still has feelings). However Daisy is crestfallen to see Daniel proposing to Bethany (Bethany says "yes"). Daisy is even more perturbed when she discovers she is pregnant.

Gail and Audrey had a falling out as Audrey tried to sabotage Gail's wedding plans because she didn't want Gail to go to France and leave her. However the two finally reconciled and had a touching heart-to-heart during the wedding.

In fact, there were a lot of touching moments during Gail's wedding at the Bistro (when guests weren't fighting) including David's excellent (and surprising) speech about Gail, Max's wonderful video compilation of well-wishers, and Jesse's speech.

The grand finale was Gail and Jesse leaving in a white Jaguar on their way to the South of France as everyone on the Street waves a tearful goodbye. 

 

Bon Voyage Gail, we'll miss you!

 

And now a few lines from the week that was:

 

Richard to Gail (in a dream):

"We should have died together when we had the chance"

(um, thanks but no thanks)

Eileen is touched (kind of) by Jesse and Gail's romance:

"It's like West Side Story with wrinkles"

('I Feel Pretty'... old)

Jesse's vow to Gail:

"You've made me the happiest man on the planet"

(could you specify which planet?)

Sally to D.S. Swain and Carla re: Betsy's drunken state and her possible vomiting:

"My soft furnishings are soft clean only"

(thanks for the heads up!)

Audrey issues an ultimatum to Gail:

"If you do decide to marry that man, you'll never see me again"

(You'll have to be more specific. Which man?)

Daisy (in Speed Dal) snaps at Bethany:

"It's not a bhaji, it's a pakora"

(she should study the menu more closely)

David explains one of Gail's exes to Shona:

"Joe, died faking his own death"

(ah those were the days...)

Debbie promoting her New Year's Eve Roman empire theme party to Shona:

"Welcome to the chariot races!"

(It's like 'Gladiator' with canapes) 

Gail to Jesse:

"You laundered gangster money for our dream villa?"

(only because the mortgage rates are so high) 

 

Gail to Sally:

"It's just au revoir"

(All the best, Gail)  

***

 

Well, fellow Gail Gazers, so ends another week - and an era - as our beloved Gail makes her exit from Coronation Street for the sunny climes of Southern France, in a villa financed by a gangster's stolen money, and with a former two-timing, children's entertainer. What could be better?  

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and spending time here at the Hip. Have a great week and let's hope the departure of Gail coincides with some new and engaging stories in the New Year.

 

Coronation Street Catch Up: the Girlie Pals having a Good Time edition

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

 

First and foremost, a mea culpa for last week's error.

 

Reliable sources (i.e. Audrey) tell me that this will be Gail's 7th wedding (not her sixth as was erroneously reported in last week's post).

Other (fake) corrections: Kit will not leave Corrie to join the Toronto Raptors. Glenda's cruise ship experience did not include the Titanic. Steve is not a triathlete. The Hip regrets the errors.

 

But back to Gail's upcoming nuptials. There is a sad hen do in the Rovers that features nothing more than booze and an embarrassing quiz. 

 

Later on, David volunteers to pick up the wedding rings for Jesse. Why, you ask? Seems that Harvey (jailbird and gangster) has learned that David stole his hidden cash and he sets his two stooges (Mason's brothers) on Davey to get his cash back. David doesn't have the money (he used it for a down payment on the house) so, as partial repayment, David gives the Radcliffe brothers Jesse's rings and pretends he was mugged, but he is still on the hook for the rest of the cash... if he doesn't pay, his family is in danger.

Shona (who was injured in a hit and run by Daisy) finally squeezes the truth out of David regarding the stolen money and, in desperation, requests help from Kit in fending off the threats from the Radcliffe boys. Kit (who has helped Daisy avoid charges for her hit and run on Shona by erasing CCTV footage) is obliged to help Shona and roughs up one of the Radcliffes as a warning.

 

Speaking of Kit, it looks like he's quite a 'playa' as they say - first with Shona, now with Daisy and then some random woman leaving his flat in the morning hours and spied by Daniel who reports back to Daisy.

 

Also, Daniel has discovered that rockin' tunes are better than podcasts for motivation while out running. Duh!

Elsewhere, baby Frankie's bruises have been diagnosed not as abuse but aplastic anemia which requires a donor for a blood transfusion (or maybe even a bone marrow transplant). The search for a donor rules out Lauren (who had Hep C in the past) but could possibly be helped by Dee Dee's baby except that Dee Dee has already opted for a termination and is supported in her decision by Ed and Michael.

The relationship between Carla and Lisa seems to be off to a rocky start due to Carla's refusal to go public and Lisa's jealously. However the problem is solved when a trio of Underworld employees barge into Carla's flat and discover D.S. Swain coming out of Carla's bedroom. Everyone clues in to what's going on except Kirk.

Gemma is back (with a new hair style/colour) and Chesney confesses his ongoing feud with a mystery guy in a van. The feud has unfortunately escalated to the point where Ches dumps half a bag of sugar into the mystery van's gas tank. Also, Ches continues to refuse to sign an NDA agreement with Les' former employer although both Leanne and Toyah would like to sign and get the $60,000 pounds being offered.

Leanne is also very busy in her ongoing revenge efforts which see Nick traveling to Tenerife with Sam (instead of Toyah) and Leanne committed to making Toyah's life as miserable as possible.

 

And now for some lines from the week that was:

 

Tracy to Leanne re: Leanne's revenge plans:

"I think you might be more evil than me"

(surely not)

David offers thanks to Kit for warding off the Radcliffe thugs:

"If ever you want a free haircut..."

(thanks but no thanks)

Shona reads the last hen do question to Gail:

"What do a hippo, a walrus, and a sea lion have in common?"

Gail to Shona and Sarah:

"My fiance's left cheek"

David points out to Audrey that he and Nick haven't recently defrauded her:

"Not for a while now..."

(so nice of you and Nick)

 

Debbie is annoyed that one of the Radcliffe boys dissed her:

"I can't believe he called me elderly"

(...out of respect, surely)

Gail to Audrey re: ideas for her wedding hairdo:

"What's wrong with my normal hair?"

(how much time do you have?)

Debbie on seeing Carla and Lisa at the spa:

"Girlie pals having a good time"

(that's one way of putting it)

 

Lisa Swain to Carla's business client:

"Your creepy, touchy routine is totally inappropriate in a business meeting"

(arrest him for causing GBH [grievous business harm])

***

Well, fellow Street Savants, so ends another week. Happy New Year to you and let's hope that 2025 brings some funny and compelling story lines on Coronation Street. Now, uncork that Proseco and raise a glass! Cheers!

Coronation Street Catch Up: the pathetic pity party edition

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

 

 

Congratulations Gail!

As they say on Coronation Street, "sixth time lucky!"

 

Yes, it looks like Gail is getting married and is ready to shuffle off to Provence with Jesse and live in a villa. Sounds lovely except that the villa is a bit of a 'fixer upper'. Fortunately, Jesse has just collected a large bagful of cash from David (the money that Davey stole from Damon et frère). 

 

Jesse says he needs the cash to pay a contractor mate to fix up the villa. In return, David will receive non-stolen money from Jesse to get a mortgage and obtain ownership of Gail's house.

 

Speaking of David, it seems that his wife, Shona, has been playing away (don't get judgey, it was only once) with Detective Kit. Adam knows she slept with someone but is keeping quiet. Shona returns to see Kit a second time but decides to resist temptation (aka a legover) and returns home. David seems to know that something is awry, but he doesn't know what.

 

While Shona is out at night resisting Kit, she is clipped by a car and injured. Turns out that she was injured by Daisy who was driving Debbie's stolen car.

 

Let's unpack.

 

Daniel had a fight with Bethany and then got drunk. In a drunken state, he decided to steal Debbie's car.  Daisy happened to find drunk Daniel behind the wheel of the car and decided to play fixer. She told Daniel to get out and drove the car to a remote location (clipping Shona along the way) and then she torched the car to destroy the evidence.

 

Phew! Unfortunately Daisy is caught on CCTV. She subsequently convinces Kit to erase the CCTV footage however, now that the case has turned into a hit and run, things get more complicated for Kit and for Daisy.

 

Why did Daisy take such a huge risk?

 

Because she still loves Daniel, however Danny Boy rebuffs Daisy's advances (but only after a quick legover on the Rovers backroom sofa). Daniel and Bethany make up (yet again) and are a couple (for the time being). Daisy is not impressed.

 

Back at the Platts, Max runs into Joel's parents who say they want to spend time with baby Frankie and then kidnap Frankie and accuse Lauren of abusing the baby. As a result, Frankie is taken away by social services. 

In sporting news, Evelyn is delighted to receive a backgammon game from Roy and annoyed after Steve spills beer on it. As a result, she threatens to sue Steve and manages to squeeze 325 pounds out of him. Her legal prowess catches the attention of Alya and Evelyn attends a legal seminar with her.

And now for some lines from the week that was:

 

Shona to Kit in his hotel room:

"If you were chocolate you'd eat yourself"

(A 'Kit' Kat, one assumes)

Daisy to Daniel:

"Are you done with your pathetic little pity party?"

(I doubt it. That's his best thing)

Shona to David:

"You know me: hard as nails, thick as a plank"

(better than 'hard as a plank, thick as nails')

Gail to her family:

"We're buying a villa"

(on Coronation Street?)

Daisy to Daniel:

"You're a good man and you did a bad thing"

(as opposed to Damon who's a bad man who did a good thing)

Jesse to David and Sarah:

"I've got a tattoo of a sea lion on my butt"

(poor Sea Lion)

Kit to Shona:

"I'd really like to sleep with you again"

(I'd like a fur-lined sink, but let's get real)

Evelyn to Ty:

"Like explaining algebra to a grapefruit"

(Maybe Ty is familiar with multiplying polynomials by monomials?)

Well, festive followers, so ends another week. I hope you had an enjoyable and relaxing week of celebrations and thanks for dropping by and spending some of your Yuletide time here at the Hip. Have a great week and a Happy New Year!

 

Coronation Street Catch Up: the Be a Battersby edition

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

A few questions.

How can Toyah afford to stay in a hotel? What exactly did Shona do when she spent the night away from the Platt house? Does David ever comb his hair (the man, not the dog)?

 

Let's start with the Platts. 

 

Shona shows up in front of the prison and makes a scene because they won't let her see her son. 

 

Max intervenes and is forced to tell Shona the truth. Shona learns that it was David who deleted or destroyed all her visit requests from her imprisoned son (Clayton). It was David who went to the prison and told Clayton that Shona didn't want to see him.  Clayton subsequently tried to kill himself and Shona is racked with guilt - and anger at David. 

 

Shona is arrested by Kit (for roughing up the prison warden) but the charges are subsequently dropped. She leaves the Platt house and spends the night somewhere doing something "terrible" which she regrets. But we don't know what... yet. Apparently Adam is aware of her um.. predicament.

 

Elsewhere Leanne continues her elaborate and long revenge plan. She knows about Nick and Toyah's continuing affair but successfully inserts herself into the relationship by pretending to need Nick's support (especially during the trial of Rowan) and insisting that she and Nick can still be a couple. All the while Toyah is jealous and piqued. 

The solution?

The two lovebirds plan a vacation to Tenerife and both plan to take time off from the Bistro at the same time. Suspicious? Leanne pretends everything is fine but she has stolen Toyah's passport and has a few dirty tricks up her sleeve.

Everyone is shaken by news of the death of Les Battersby, father or pseudo-father to Leanne, Toyah, Fiz and Chesney. Ches seems particularly upset at the news, more so since he is still being terrorized by a mystery person (who recently slashed his tires). 

 

Even more unsettling is the news that Les' workplace accident (which resulted in his death) prompted his employer to offer the family 50 thousand pounds in return for signing a NDA (non-disclosure agreement).

On the plus side, Ches inherits Les' snakeskin jacket. Kirk is jealous.

In other news, Bethany begins attending a support group but lets people think she is a cancer survivor. Meanwhile, Sarah learns that another woman has suffered injuries at the same Turkish clinic as Bethany. After consulting with Adam, Sarah and Bethany learn that a lawsuit may be possible since one of the clinic's directors happens to reside in the UK. That director happens to be Debbie.

Kit and Daisy have a date but Daisy is later quite cool towards the tall detective because of his flippant attitude toward Lauren's jail sentence.

Still on the dating front, Adam convinces Alya to go out with him although Alya remains a bit suspicious of the Scot's reputation as a "player".

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

 

Tracy tells Leanne to take a more proactive approach to the Nick/Toyah situation:

"Be a Battersby"

(them's fighting words)

Tracy continues to incite Leanne:

"He's having sex with your sister"

(Well, when you put it like that...)

 

Daisy to Kit as she breaks out the Xmas decorations:

"The only thing worse than a badly dressed tree is a badly dressed man"

(Just ask any man on Coronation Street)

Leanne pretends to admire Nick's bod:

"Your beautiful straight back"

(um, thanks for the compliment, I guess?)

Toyah to Nick re: his "judgment call" is dealing with Leanne:

"You sound like a politician"

(Ouch, that's below the belt)

 

Glenda to Daisy after Kit invites Daisy on a police 'ride along' date:

"Maybe he'll let you use his Taser?"

(fingers crossed)

Les' last letter to his family:

"Looks like I've popped me clogs"

(the wisdom of the deceased)

Sarah reminds David of past misdeeds:

"We put a body under that floor"

(oh yeah, that, Funny story...)

Nick's requests champagne on arrival at Tenerife

"El champon"

(No comprendo)

***

Well, fellow cobbleros, so ends another week and we continue to await Leanne's grand revenge. And what exactly did Shona do and why is it terrible? I guess time will tell. Thanks so much for visiting. Always a pleasure to have your company. Have a great week, a happy holiday and a very Merry Christmas! Cheers!

Coronation Street Catch Up: the longest muscle in the leg edition

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

Heavens to Betsy!

D.S. Swain's daughter is out of control. She skips school, lies, steals, hangs around with thugs, is indirectly responsible for Carla's head injury... and yet still seems to have a job at the factory (so far).

Yes, it seems that Betsy thinks she can help Mason by giving his numbskull brothers a set of keys to Underworld so they can steal valuable stuff (gold-plated knickers?) from the factory while everyone is out at a team building event (aka bowling, aka skiving). In return, the two fatheads promise that they will leave Mason alone. 

Of course, it doesn't go according to plan. 

 

Carla returns to the factory while dumb and dumber are still in Underworld. Carla gets conked on the head and winds up in the Coronation Street Wing of Weatherfield General Hospital with a brain bleed. It looks serious but before you can say NHS, she is back on her feet with a bandage on her head.

Lisa is very worried but won't admit her true feelings to Carla.

 

Over at the cop shop, one of the bonehead brothers is taken in for questioning. The brother (Matty) has an alibi (fake, 'natch) so he is released but not before he says something that makes Lisa believe that he had something to do with the death of her partner (Becky).

 

Oh, and one other thing. It seems that lawyer-in-training Alya is back and working with the lawyer representing Matty. She doesn't seem comfortable working for a lawyer who's defending a scumbag and says as much to Adam.

 

Elsewhere, Gemma is off on a vacation while Chesney is at home looking after the kids, working at the kebab shop, and getting more and more frazzled by the minute. On top of that he seems to be involved in a continuing road rage battle with someone in a van. It all looks grim.

 

Over at the prison, Lauren finally gets to spend some time with Frankie while she frets about who will take care of her son if she gets sent down for killing Joel with a rock. Max convinces Shona and David to volunteer for the job of taking care of Frankie but David is not thrilled.

 

David is even less thrilled about Shona's decision to see Clayton (her son) who is in hospital after trying to take his own life. As you recall, Clayton killed Kylie.

 

Meanwhile, Nick is determined to tell Leanne that he and Toyah are planning to be together. Sam is not thrilled and is now in the unenviable position of having to lie for his libido-supercharged Dad. Toyah is reluctant to go public as Leanne is struggling, first with the upcoming trial of Rowan and then the sudden death of her father.

 

Nick's solution?

Two tickets to Tenerife. What better way to break the news gently? Why not just hire a plane with a banner? 

 

When Leanne discovers the booking on Nick's computer, poor Sam has to pretend that he's going to Tenerife with his Dad.

 

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

Carla finds the keys that Betsy stole and confronts her:

"If you took the prints off these keys..."

(you mean the keys that now have your prints on them since you've been holding them)

Leanne questions Steve's judgment:

"You married Tracy Barlow... twice"

(well, if at first you don't succeed...)

Ryan comments on Carla's complicated love life:

"This is what happens when you change teams"

(wait, are we talking about football?)

David keeps tabs on Nick love life:

"Still with... whichever sister you're with?"

(Toyah... for the moment)

Betsy to Mason's brothers:

"That woman you attacked is my boss"

(she may not be your boss for much longer)

Sam to Toyah re: her and Leanne:

"Did you ever share a boyfriend?"

(Hmm, Peter Barlow comes to mind)

Kirk shouts encouraging words as Carla is taken to hospital in an ambulance:

"Tell her the team building went really well!"

(yes, that will help as the doctors treat Carla's brain bleed)

 

Roy to Ryan as he tries to pass the time waiting for Carla to wake up:

"Do you know the name of the longest muscle in the leg?"

(the leg muscle?)

Leanne to Nick after she discovers his vacation booking:

"Who are you taking to Tenerife?"

(well, it's not David) 

***

Well, patient punters, so ends another week. That Betsy is a troublesome customer and now she's racked with guilt over Carla's injuries which are a direct result of her handiwork. Just wait till she finds out that one or more of Mason's brother were involved in the death of her mother (Becky).

Thanks so much for spending your time at the Hip. Have a great week!

Coronation Street Catch Up: the local snow bunny edition

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

 

 

Well, it had to happen eventually, didn't it?

 

D.S. Swain gets pie-eyed in the Rovers and ends up at Carla's flat where (after a drunken nap) she and Carla do the horizontal mambo. In many ways, they're the perfect match. Lisa is gay and Carla is sick of men (i.e. Peter the not-so-Great).

 

They would probably have kept canoodling except that Lisa gets an SOS message from Betsy (why do they need a secret code?). Seems that Mason's two thug brothers have cornered her and she's in trouble.

 

Speaking of Mason, it seems that he has once again incurred the wrath of his two nasty siblings for claiming that he shopped them to the coppers for stealing Tim's car (it was actually Tim who informed the cops) but Mason stepped in to save Tim from being the target of his brothers' revenge. 

 

But the main event last week was the ongoing saga of who gets charged with the murder of Joel.

 

While Max has a plan to take the blame and somehow evade prison time by claiming it was self defence, Shona and then David finally learn the truth and now know that it was actually Lauren who killed Joel with a rock. 

 

Now it's Lauren's turn to be grilled by Detective Kit and she is subsequently charged with murder. Max will not be happy when he learns that it was David who tipped off the cops.

 

Dee Dee is pregnant even though she only slept with Joel one time (spoiler: it only takes one time). Sarah is there for support (after all she had a hoodlum's baby) and, BTW, there's always Fiz (she had a killer's baby). But Dee Dee doesn't want anyone to know.. at least for now.

 

Ken is taken to hospital after a dangerous overdose of Warfarin (blood thinner). At first the blame is directed at Cassie (who was in fact purposely giving Ken a secret overdose) but then Tracy is blamed and shunned from the Kingdom of Barlow.

 

And now for some lines from the week that was:

Nick relates his expert knowledge to David:

"Women are like sniffer dogs, they always get to the truth"

(thanks for the flattering comparison)

 

Dee Dee to Sarah:

"I'm having a pervert's baby"

(Isn't that a Paul Anka song?)

 

Steve confesses his brief relationship with Cassie:

"I had a slight dalliance before I realized the error of my ways"

(aka, a no-strings attached legover)

Tracy to Steve re: Cassie:

"You got off with the local snow bunny"

(that's another way of putting it)

Swain to Carla:

"I'm an excellent drinker. I've had a lot of experience"

(it's on her CV)

Ryan to Carla re: her night with Lisa:

"Looks like Team Connor has its mojo back"

(someone should send a postcard to Peter)

***

 Well, fellow Street Savants, so ends another week. Thanks for spending time here at the Hip and have a great week.

Coronation Street Catch Up: the totally mad Max edition

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

 

 

The murder of Joel is beginning to look a lot like the board game Clue (Cluedo in the UK). 

Instead of Colonel Mustard in the library with a candlestick, we have Lauren on the railway bridge with a rock. And that, through the magic of flashbacks, seems to be the definitive answer to the thorny question: who killed Joel?

Yes, Joel had a brief encounter with Dee Dee (who whacked him him a crowbar). Yes, he had  another encounter with crooked Detective Kit. And yes, the tepid twosome (Ed and Ronnie) wanted to find Joel - but didn't. D.S. Swain was also in the "frame" (as they say) as, on the night in question, she was chasing down a thief and getting hit by a getaway car. 

 

Anyway, Kit thinks that Swain is the guilty party and arrests her.

Turns out that it was Lauren who did the deed as she came to help Max who had tracked down Joel and was engaged in a standoff with him. As Joel tried to push Max over the edge of a railway bridge, Lauren arrived on the scene (avec rock) and conked the villain on the head. 

 

(BTW, kudos to Carla for putting together some clues and figuring out that Max and Lauren were hiding something).

Now, as the spotlight falls on the young couple, they plan to make a run for it, but it does look like the dragnet is closing in on them.

Elsewhere, David decides to visit Clayton (Shona's son who killed Kylie) in jail. Clayton is racked with guilt but David is unmoved and keeps his visit, as well as correspondence from the jail, a secret from Shona. However Shona is shocked when she gets a call telling her that Clayton tried to kill himself and she rushes to the hospital.

Tim tries to help Mason but Mason's two no-good brothers coerce him into helping them steal Tim's car. Sally is not amused. Sally's Mom's ring happens to be the stolen car. Sally is not amused again. However Mason manages to retrieve the ring but tells Tim that he has to leave town or he's a dead man walking.

And now for some lines from the week that was:

Lauren to Max:

"a normal happy life, that's all I want"

(could be tricky since you killed Joel)

Lauren is skeptical about Max's escape plan:

"This is totally mad Max"

(Mad Max is probably a suitable movie for their predicament) 

Max tries to protect Lauren by confessing to Kit:

"I killed Joel Deering"

(join the club)

Lilly is skeptical of David's hairdressing cred:

"What's the average age of your clients?"

(hint: three digits)

Sally to Tim:

"Some men like the silent treatment"

(some men like the polar bear challenge)

David criticizes Nick's love life:

"You do realize you're putting yourself right in the middle of a Battersby sandwich"

(yikes!)

***

Well, Joel justice-seekers, so ends another week and we finally know exactly what happened on the night Joel was killed.  Now the suspects have to be apprehended before they leave the country. Hopefully Kit will get demoted after his botched murder investigation and his corrupt actions. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week!
