Coronation Street Catch Up: the burning plastic and coconut edition

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

  

Farewell Eileen!

 

To a chorus of Street Cars drivers honking their horns in a royal tribute (Perhaps Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks?), the long-serving Siren of the Switch, Countess of the Cab Office and Baroness of the Biscuit Tin departed with Jason for the good life in Thailand.

 

Sadly George was left behind as the couple parted ways in one of those "it's not you, it's me" break ups. George is left to mope and bring down the vibe at the Rovers while Glenda tells him to cheer up. 

 

George's partner in pity (Todd) thinks that his relationship with Theo is doomed as Theo is constantly preoccupied with his daughter Millie who says she's pregnant and needs her Dad's support and attention.  

 

A different kind of farewell is taking place at the Bistro where there is a memorial for PC Craig Tinker, killed in the line of duty by Mick. Kit is supposed to deliver the eulogy but goes missing (maybe drafted by the NBA?) and so Lisa is obliged to pay tribute to Craigie. 

 

Somewhat surprisingly, Mick's wife, Lou, shows up to (she says) pay her respects. Maria is not pleased but Gary seems to have a sympathetic view of Lou and her circumstances, on her own with three kids and little income. 

 

The situation is exacerbated when Lou shows up at David's carbon-based barbecue (burnt offerings for everyone!) and Maria catches Lou dipping into Shona's purse in search of money. Lou decides not to take the money (which belongs to the Salon) but too late. Maria assumes the worst and a struggle ensues which results in Lou falling on David's new glass coffee table (and I don't think Ikea gives refunds for broken merchandise).

 

To add to Lou's woes, Brody has a seizure and Kit intervenes to help the lad. Brody doesn't know why Kit keeps hanging around and complains about police harassment.

 

Meanwhile Betsy rifles through Lisa's private documents and finds a letter that raises questions about the death of her Mum (Becky). To get answers, Betsy enlists the support of Lauren and the two visit Logan Radcliffe in prison. Logan (as you recall) is the brother of Mason who was harassed and stabbed by his two odious older brothers (Matty and Logan) and subsequently died.

 

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

 

Glenda congratulates Audrey on her hair styling prowess:

"Best blow in Weatherfield"

(Yikes! That line could so easily have gone sideways) 

Todd describes the perfume of George's new aftershave: 

"Burning plastic and coconut"

(with just a hint of sulfur) 

Sally brags to Tim about her household flair:

"How many people do you know that fold their toilet paper into a triangle?"

(hard to do with those big round rolls)

Eileen tries to explain something to Steve and Tim:

"Do I have to spell it out to the hard of thinking?"

(use phonetics please)

Mary to Eileen, who is leaving Weatherfield:

"George will stay here in the cold and the rain burying dead people"

(well, when you put it like that...) 

Brody describes to Lisa the cop who is harassing him:

"You know, that lanky git"

(say no more) 

Carla to Swain:

"If you have to have an epitaph, normal, boring and happy is a good one"

(just ask Brian) 

 

***

Well, fellow Bistro buddies, so ends another week. It didn't take very long for the Platts to repair and renovate their house and David did a nice job putting together all that Ikea furniture. Too bad about his prized glass top coffee table. 

 

Thanks so much for spending time here at the Hip. Always delighted to welcome fellow Corrie fans. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Coronation Street Catch Up: The Embalming Horror at local undertakers edition

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

 

Well, it's official.

Jason Grimshaw has set a Coronation Street Olympic record for the fastest legover after setting foot in Weatherfield.

Yes, the returning 'Lad Thai' no sooner makes his reappearance on the scene than he gets jiggy with Theo's wife, Danielle, and gets caught (post-flagrante) by a crowd at Eileen's house. Seems he and Danielle had it off on Mary's bed (don't worry, he washed the sheets afterwards).

Todd is livid. Theo is rather sanguine about it all. Danielle is momentarily pleased to give Theo a taste of his own medicine. It's all rather awkward but nice to see that, despite his Thailand problems, Jason hasn't lost his mojo.

Jason hasn't lost his sense of adventure either. He wants Eileen to come with him to Thailand to invest in a bar (or maybe it's a restaurant) and enjoy life in a Thai paradise. George gets wind of the plan and decides that he will come along too (can you wear a suit in Phuket?) However George soon realizes that his plan is not realistic. He's not really keen on giving up his business and, more to the point, Eileen doesn't love him.

The Todd/Theo relationship continues on its rocky road when Theo's daughter (Millie) decides to park herself at Eileen's house (great, another person at that house!) 

Elsewhere, Sally's lips are super-pursed when she finds out Tim is meeting a social worker to discuss fostering. Sally had already voiced her opposition (can you blame her after raising Rosie?) and she is mad that Tim went behind her back but now she seems to be warming to the idea.

Looks like Mick has pleaded 'not guilty' to the charges of killing a police officer (Craig). Speaking of Mick, his son (Brody) seems to be out and about at the same time as Dylan has served his time at the STC and is also out and about. It seems that Dylan has become something of a 'hard man' as he reads Brody the riot act and also tells his Dad (Sean) that he's not interested in returning to school.

Carl is continuing to use Kev's garage as a base to issue fake MOTs and one aggrieved punter shows up to complain. While tending to his crooked business, Carl continues to make overtures to Abi and the two narrowly avoid a lip-lock which was interrupted by news of poor old Kev fainting during chemo.

And now a few lines from the week that was:

Abi to Carl:

"I think you should go back to Germany"

(schnell!) 

George finally names a Thai dish after being challenged by Eileen

"Pad Thai!"

(I thought he was going to say 'pork scratchins') 

Glenda to Brian after seeing Jason for the first time:

"Is it wrong to have sexual thoughts at a wake?"

(yes) 

 

Mary and Brian desecrate the song by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers while doing Karaoke at Julie's wake:

"Islands in the Stream"

(sounds more like "Islands in the Scream") 

Headline in the Weatherfield Gazette:

"Embalming horror at local undertakers"

(it's a fluid situation) 

Sally wonders what Tim is up to:

"This is all a rather obvious attempt to get me frisky"

(not this time) 

 

Danielle explains her afternoon delight to Jason, Todd, Eileen and Theo:

"Two birds, one bonk"

(say no more)

Well, fellow Weatherfield Watchers, so ends another week. The hockey playoffs are over so it's back to our regularly scheduled Corrie. Thanks for stopping by and do have a great week.  

Coronation Street Catch Up: the Prosecco doesn't stain edition

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

 

 

Here's a handy way to assess any male on Coronation Street:

If Sarah is dating him, he's probably a badun.

 

Case in point: Kit.

 

I think, by now, we all know that our dear Kit is not exactly a shining example of integrity in the police force. He arranges for inmates to assault Mick who is being held in prison for the assault and subsequent death of Craig Tinker.

 

Kit is unrepentant as he believes Mick deserves a beating and Kit also wants Mick out of the picture so he can have unfettered access to Brody (who may be Kit's son) and even Lou. 

 

Meanwhile Brody smashes up Kit's flat as payback for Kit arresting Mick. When Brody is arrested and then quickly released, he starts to get suspicious and wants to know what Kit is up to and why Bernie is going out of her way to help him.

 

At the same time, Lou is busy getting fired and then rehired (thanks to Gary's intervention) by Maria at the salon 

But back to the late P.C. Tinker. 

 

Among the Street residents, Kirk is perhaps most affected as he is grief stricken and also blames Chesney and Gemma for not saying or doing anything about Mick even though they knew he was a violent and dangerous man. 

 

Then there's D.S. Swain who is also profoundly affected by the loss of a fellow officer. In her vulnerable and emotional state, Lisa asks Carla to marry her and Carla is taken aback. She's not against the idea but doesn't think it's the right time. (Tip: don't wait too long or Peter might come back and have it off with Lisa and Carla at the same time - and before you call me crazy, remember... he's got form).   

Speaking of death, it's Julie's funeral which is quite um.. non traditional. During a lively celebration in the Rovers, Bombastic Brian decides it's a great time to confront Eileen about the fact that Julie named Eileen as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Yes, what an outrage for a sister to leave an inheritance to her closest relative! 

 

Eileen is definitely at a low ebb and George doesn't seem to be able to do or say anything right including proposing marriage to Eileen which is immediately upstaged by the surprise arrival of her son, Jason (with a tan). 

 

Over at the Chariot Square Hotel, Ronnie is crying into his beer and getting some aggro from Carl. On the rebound from Deb's rejection, Ronnie takes up with the long-legged Fiona, a scam artist from his past. Ronnie agrees to help her rip off some poor punter with the sale of a clunker auto. Ronnie can't go through with it and decides to break off his business relationship with Fiona.

 

However, Carl takes the opportunity to take Ronnie's place as Fiona's scam associate and promptly begins using Kev's garage as a base for issuing fake MOTs in order to sell dodgy cars. Abi is suspicious.

 

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

    

Brody wants to know why Kit is bugging him:

"Shouldn't you be out arresting someone for using the wrong pronoun?"

(whom or who would you suggest?) 

Bernie to Sarah:

"I've got more skeletons in my closet than caftans"

(that must limit your wardrobe choices)

Sarah wants Kit to tell the truth:

"Are you going to break my heart?"

(Is the Pope Catholic?)

Todd to Eileen re: George: 

"He's got a face like a wet blanket"

(you're not helping George's case) 

Carla wonders if Lisa has told her boss after learning that Mick's attack was an inside job orchestrated by Kit:

"Have you told Costello?"

(Lou or Elvis?) 

Mary to Tracy after Tracy gets doused with a glass of booze from Eileen:

"Lucky for you Prosecco doesn't stain"

(that's too bad)

Jason to the assembled crowd in the pub:

"The Rover returns"

(Good one)

 

Glenda does a pub survey with Ronnie:

"Are the bogs to your satisfaction?"  

(maybe put more pot pourri in the Gents?)

Lou's description of her ex-boss at Audrey's: 

"Maria, patron saint of salons"

(Hail Mary, full of product) 

Deb to Ryan:

"Would you describe me as fit?"

(no comment)

Fiona Longlegs to Ronnie:

"I bet you could sell water to a drowning man"

(depends on the water)

Well, fellow Weatherfield watchers, so ends another week. Thanks, as always, for dropping by and spending time here at the Hip. Have a great week! 

Coronation Street Catch Up: the Papa was a Bowling Stone edition

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

 

 

Exit PC Tinker.

 

Yes, sadly, it seems that Craig's time on the Weatherfield Police Force (and Coronation Street) has expired. The young police officer confronted a drunk and enraged suspect (Mick), asked him to step out of his vehicle (er, I mean van) and was then brutally attacked by Mick and left bleeding on the ground.

 

Craig was discovered by Maria and promptly rushed to hospital but even the miracle workers at the Coronation Street Wing of Weatherfield General Hospital couldn't save him. Kirk and many others were gutted. Craig's Mom (if she ever returns to the show) will be inconsolable. 

 

All this mayhem began after Kit (boyhood friend of Mick) dropped a broad hint to Mick about the true paternity of Mick's delinquent son (Brody). It seems that while Mick was serving a prison sentence for a crime that Kit committed, Kit and Mick's girlfriend (Lou) became, ahem, 'close' (in the biblical sense).

 

When Mick puts two and two together, he goes ballistic and assaults Lou. Officer Craig is dispatched to Lou's house to investigate and Lou insists that everything is fine. Later on, Craig spots Mick's vehicle (er, I mean van) and confronts Mick which leads to the tragic demise of Officer Tinker - but not before Craig reveals the identity of his attacker.

 

As for Mick? 

 

Well, he continues his drunken rampage by first going to Sarah's flat and demanding to know where Kit is (so he can exact his revenge). That doesn't pan out so Mick then takes Bernie hostage and uses her as leverage to force Kit into a confrontation. Now it looks like a mano-a-mano-a-mumo situation with Kit in extreme danger.

 

Meanwhile Tim takes Lou and her two daughters to the hospital to deal with Lou's injuries (inflicted by Mick). Tim looks after Lou's kids while she receives attention in hospital and the two daughters wind up with Tim at his house while Lou leaves.

 

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

 

Tim tries to amuse Lou's kids with some Dad jokes:

Q: Why do rabbits go to the hospital?

A: To have a hop-eration

(well... they can't all be gems) 

Kirk to Craig:

"I found your lucky tie"

(too late mate)

David shares his opinion of Kit to Sarah:

"He's 7 ft 2 of bad news"

(that's a lot of bad news)

Mick to Kit:

"Does darling Kit care about his Mum or not?"

(Oh Oh. Could go either way)

Kirk's recollection of a Motown classic

"Papa was a bowling stone"

(wherever he bowled a strike was his home?) 

The reason Roy can't join Tim and Kirk's bowling team:

"Bat Society AGM"

(a nocturnal event one presumes?) 

Nick to Sarah re: her tall boyfriend:

"Kit's got more red flags than Turkey"

(Doesn't Turkey only have one flag?)

 

Kit to Bernie re: Brody:

"I think he's my son"

(maybe check with ancestry.com to be sure?) 

Gemma to Bernie:

"We've got a psycho living right at the back of us"

(you'll have to be more specific) 

***

Well, fellow cobble colleagues, so ends another week. We say goodbye to Craig Tinker. A nice fellow and an honest cop but, sadly, his character was never really given the chance to develop. We wish him well. 

 

In the meantime we wait for the Kit/Mick confrontation to conclude. This can't end well for either character... no matter what happens. Oh well. Thanks so much for sharing some time here at the Hip and do have a great week.

Coronation Street Catch Up: the body snatchers of Weatherfield edition

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

 

 

The best business leaders and CEOs often turn to Coronation Street for management tips.

 

There's Gary, new head honcho of the Builders Yard PLC. After he discovers that his new hire (Dispic(able) Mick) has locked Liam in the shed, Gary does what any other corporate exec would do and locks Mick in the same shed. 

 

When Gary lets Mick out, he fires him and Mick vows retribution (Gary doesn't even do an exit interview with his terminated employee). Later, the two have a classic Corrie fight in the Street and Gary winds up beaten and bloodied. Kit walks by and intervenes but Gary is astonished to see that Mick is not arrested even though Kit is an eyewitness. What gives?

 

Cue the backstory.

 

Seems that Mick and Kit knew each other when they were growing up. They were an odd couple doing all those petty crimes (stealing cider) that wayward lads do. However, it seems that Kit did something really bad as revenge against a narky local shopkeeper. I'm guessing that Mick knew about it and maybe even took the rap for the crime. Either way, it seems that Mick enjoys the leverage he now has over Kit and could easily destroy Kit's police career... if he wanted to.

 

In other management news, Glenda has become the new manager of Rovers Return PLC. Congrats! (sort of). Carla doesn't appear to be thrilled to have chosen Glenda (Ryan was her first choice but he accepted a job from Debbie). 

 

Glenda is thrilled to have the corner office (aka bog) at the Rovers and immediately begins to put her imprint on the place. 

 

First management decision? Karaoke. Glenda takes the mic and sings up a storm for the punters as a way to liven up the place. Carla doesn't approve.

 

Next executive decision? Uniforms for the staff. They look a little (how you say) 'artisanal' and Gemma and Sean are not thrilled at the prospect of wearing them. Carla is not happy about it either. Strike Two.

 

Next up? Glenda needs more staff but her request is denied by Carla. However, just a few ticks later Carla unilaterally gives Lauren a job behind the bar.  Clearly it's not going smoothly for Glenda's leadership.

 

Also, the free pickles promotion that Glenda has implemented seems to be popular but (if Kirk's tummy trouble is an indicator) could give a new meaning to the term 'gastro pub'... if you know what I mean.

Debbie reiterates her reasons for a break-up in a most cold-blooded and cruel way to poor Ronnie. This follows Debbie's tussle with Leanne in the hotel when the two get into a Kebab-based tug-of-war during a wedding show (don't ask). 

Debbie's solution to her troubles and recent diagnosis of vascular dementia?

 

Getting a skinful ('natch) at the Bistro and trying to pronounce 'Tiramisu' while leathered.

 

Meanwhile, over at the Webster's, Kev is continuing with his chemo (alone) while Carl and Abi deal with Debbie's drunken state. BTW, if Abi wants Carl to cool his jets, she could try walking around in those grease-stained Webster Garage overalls rather than those stylish sexy outfits that she now favours (not that there's anything wrong with that).

 

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

Sarah to Kit:

"Pretty much every boyfriend I've ever had has lied to me"

(so the bar is set pretty low?)

 

Carla to Glenda re: her karaoke performance at the Rovers:

"I know you were a frustrated cruise ship entertainer"

(thanks for the vote of confidence)

Debbie to Abi re: Toyah's fashion sense:

"She dresses like the Amish"

(would thee like to see thy desert menu?)

Debbie to Abi:

"When I first met you I really didn't like you"

(quite the sweet talker)

 

Tracy brags to Maria:

"I used to be a wag"

(is that spelled with a 'w' or an 'h'?)

 

Rita recounts her performing days to Jenny:

"They used to call me the 'Weatherfield Nightingale'"

(as opposed to Mick whom they call the 'Weatherfield Rat')

Mary recounts her youthful wishes to Eileen:

"Big hair, a spiral perm and David Cassidy as a boyfriend"

(...and a guest appearance on 'The Partridge Family'?)

 

Tracy to assembled gang in Rovers:

"George and Eileen, the body snatchers of Weatherfield"

(could be a spin-off TV series)

 

Roy questions Adi about his produce:

"Can you vouch for the sweetness of your plums?"

(sure, got a Bible handy?)

***

Well, fellow Weatherfield watchers, so ends another week. One day the hockey playoffs will end and Corrie will be back to its regular schedule. In the meantime, thanks for dropping by and do have a wonderful week.

Coronation Street Catch Up: the Reverend Obvious edition

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

 

 

My apologies to all readers.

 

It seems that I made some serious errors with respect to Daisy in last week's blog post (although in fairness, the truth was not revealed until the beginning of the following week).

.

Here's the erratum:

 

Jenny's money was not saved by the bank's anti-fraud department. That was a scam and the money actually went into an account created by Daisy.

 

Daisy didn't go to Brighton to stay with a friend. She used the money she stole from Jenny to buy a ticket to Bali (nicer weather but no scampi or Brighton rock)

 

She gave some of Jenny's money to Julie, a bottle of booze to Kit, money to Ryan, tickets to Disneyland Paris for Daniel and Bertie, and a letter to Jenny.

 

Exit Daisy.

 

But the most dramatic exit was Julie who passed away while on a trip to the country with Eileen. Such a shame to bring back such an upbeat, vivacious character only to see her exit so quickly and so sadly. 

 

Julie's passing left everyone on the Street with a heavy heart.

 

However grief quickly turned to suspicion and anger when Brian became convinced that Eileen facilitated Julie's death with a cocktail of medications in a case of assisted suicide. Brian, being Brian, reported the misdeed to the police who hauled Eileen in for questioning.

 

Todd and George have similar suspicions and try to impede the police investigation by embalming Julie's body before the police arrive to take the body for an autopsy.  However the coppers catch George in the act of embalming and want to know what's going on. Moral of the story: never listen to music while embalming.

 

Todd has other things on his mind as Theo shows up on the Street (drunk) and in a state as his family life seems to be falling apart now that he seems to be coming out of the closet (albeit reluctantly). To make matters worse, Theo's daughter shows up to give her Dad a rollicking.

 

George too has other things on his mind as he wonders if Eileen is tired of him. He comes to this conclusion after watching a video made by Julie telling Eileen that she could do better.

 

It now seems that the violent and obnoxious Mick has some kind of shared past with Kit (amateur Laurel and Hardy tribute act?) Whatever the backstory, it seems that Mick has some kind of hold over Kit.

 

Still on the subject of Mick, it seems that signor slime ball has wormed his way into a job with Gary at the newly-acquired builders yard. Poor Liam is also there working part-time and subject to Mick's stupid pranks.

 

Lauren is being hounded on social media by an anonymous blackmailer who was a witness to her driving Tracy's stolen florist van (which was Betsy's fault). Lauren sets a trap for the lowlife only to discover that it's Jake (young son of Gary and former partner Izzy) - at least she thinks it's Jake.

 

Jenny is wallowing in self pity after getting scammed by Daisy and now seeing a series of potential buyers coming into the Rovers. Rita gives her a good talking to and tells her to smarten up. 

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

Julie insists that Brian was her cup of tea:

"He was three sugars and plenty of milk to me"

(so, too sweet and weak ?)

Jenny to Rita:

"I'm done with men"

(I've heard that before)

 

Brian snaps at Billy who tries to console him:

"Thank you the Reverend Obvious"

(so much for 'three sugars and plenty of milk')

Mick is interviewed at the cop shop by Kit:

"I'm not a violent man"

(that's news to me)

 

Brian to Rita:

"Julie used to say I was a mine of trivia"

(aka annoying and tedious)

Debbie to cake supplier:

"I look forward to sampling your sponge"

(and I bet the cakes are good too)

***

Well, fellow Rovers returners, so ends another week. Does Mick have any redeeming qualities? Well, I guess he did save Liam from the bullies so that's one small redeeming quality. Sad to see Julie leave. Not too sad to see Daisy leave.  Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week.

Coronation Street Catch Up: the flame-haired sorceress edition

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

 

 

Does Christina have any redeeming characteristics?

 

Not sure. She's a bad mother, liar, cheat, fraudster, selfish, greedy, cruel...

But, on the plus side, she's quite good at bingo calling ("eighty eight, jail awaits").

 

Anyway, the proverbial jig is up as gullible Jenny falls for the Dom/Christina investment scam but the ruse is foiled by bank security which stops the transaction.  Jenny's money is safe but Christina is taken to the police station for questioning and wins an all-expense paid, one-night stay in the luxurious Weatherfield Police jail.  She disavows any knowledge of the scam even though Kit has her incriminating burner phone.

 

Meanwhile, Daisy is hoping that she won't be found out as an accomplice to Christina's fraud. Once the disgruntled Christina is let out of jail (just wait till she posts a review on Google), she discovers that Dom isn't returning her phone calls. Looks like he's scarpered.

 

As for Daisy, she wants to leave Weatherfield and start a new life: a barmaid in Brighton. Not exactly life-changing. Maybe check LinkedIn next time for better career opportunities? 

 

Jenny tries to convince Daisy to stay but she seems intent on leaving especially since the annoyingly high- and-mighty Daniel broke up with her on a matter of principle. 

 

Elsewhere, Debbie's diagnosis of vascular dementia is confirmed and no-one knows except Carl. Debbie doesn't want to burden Ronnie with her illness so she breaks off the engagement and leaves Ronnie confused and upset. 

Abi and Carl continue their on again, off again flirting and Abi continues to resist Carl's overtures.

 

Gary is tired of working in his tat shop and wants to buy the builders yard from Ed. Maria vetoes the idea but Mick sticks his oar in and convinces Gary to:

a) drink his weight in lager.

and,

b) defy the missus and buy the yard. 

 

Gary does so and angers Maria. Gary also promises Mick a job but then has second thoughts. Mick is not pleased.

 

Over at Carla's flat, Betsy's arm is better but she hides the fact until Carla catches her red-handed (so to speak), when Betsy uses a pepper mill with both hands. Ah ha! No matter. Betsy seems very capable of manipulating her Mum (Lisa) by playing the pity card and Lisa seems to go along with it because she says Betsy is "struggling" (aka skiving).

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

 

David to Kit:

"You're one of those raging sexaholics"

(he's not raging, he's quite methodical)

The name on Christina's burner phone:

"Ron Weasley"

(So he left Hogwarts for a life of crime?) 

Jenny tries to convince Daisy to stay:

"I'd miss my glamorous sidekick"

(it would be like Scott without Bailey)

Maria to Gary re: Mick:

"He makes my skin crawl"

(and that's his good point)

Eileen to Julie re: Daisy:

"Oh to be young and putting it about!"

(gets a bit tiring though...or so I have read) 

Daniel to Ken:

"If I wanted some facile philosophy I'd buy a fortune cookie"

(yes, he'd rather use his own facile philosophy)

Christina's newly-invented term of endearment (from Dom) to Jenny:

"My flame-haired sorceress" 

(just call her FHS for short)

Carla re: Betsy's spilled pasta:

"I've got olive oil all over my thick shag"

(make up your own x-rated comment)

Christina to the assembled bingo crown at the Rovers:

"Very soon we shall be dropping our balls"

(again, make up your own x-rated comment)

 

Eileen re: George's concerns over her salad-dressing related injury:

"He's got the bedside manner of a politician"

(ouch!)

 

Daniel to Christina:

Why have you got two phones?

(one for each hand?)

 

Christina to Jenny and Glenda re: a great business opportunity:

"I would hate to pass up the opportunity to get into bed with Dom"

(...or invest in his fake company)

***

Well, fellow Weatherfield watchers, so ends another week. It looks like we'll be saying goodbye to Daisy as she prepares to re-invent herself in beautiful Brighton as a... barmaid? (I guess she's not big on career development). Oh well. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
