Things are going from bad to worse for Paul who is trying to deal with the trauma of a sexual liaison he experienced at the age of 14 with Kel who is now romancing Bernie. Despite Rev Billy's efforts, Paul resists any intervention and finds refuge in booze (which isn't really helping). Kel tries to convince Paul to keep quiet but an altercation leads to Paul assaulting Kel.
A special needs worker named Jade shows up to help Fiz and Ty take care of Hope. She seems to be too good to be true until Evelyn finds her snooping through the family documents.
Sophie is starting college. Sarah is back from her vacation in Milan. Asha is using harmful chemicals in an effort to make her skin lighter. Amy finds out but Dev doesn't know yet and is busy trying to convince Asha to work at the Kebab shop. James finally tells Bethany that he's gay.
But what of Gary? Ah yes, the budding loan shark has his hands full. After beating up Ryan, he reads the riot act to Derek (who was interested in dating Izzy) and then, for good measure, intimidates the private detective who was hired by Adam to find incriminating evidence. Then Adam offers Ryan money if he will tell the truth about his beating (i.e. by Gary not 'muggers').
Max is acting up (by which I mean selling his medication to other kids) and Shona can't deal with him so she finally reveals the truth to partner and tanned jailbird, David. Roy and Evelyn have a Math contest. Roy wins.
And now a few lines from the week that was:
Evelyn is not impressed by the upcoming school performance of Bugsy:
"If I were Prime Minister I'd ban all school plays"
(seems like a sound election platform to me)
Ty to Fiz re: the wrong answer to the pub quiz question regarding the opposite of longitude:
"I thought it was shortitude too"
"I thought it was shortitude too"
(Latitude is overrated anyway)
Bernie to Gemma after learning that her scan shows one of the quads is under developed:
"Every litter has its runt"

"Every litter has its runt"
(you know that these are humans, right?)
Gary threatens the Private Detective who is resting on a La-Z-Boy:
"You might just find yourself reclining for keeps"
"You might just find yourself reclining for keeps"
(sounds deadly... but comfy)
Sean isn't impressed by the photos taken by Adam's PI:
"I've taken better photos in my backside pants"
Sean isn't impressed by the photos taken by Adam's PI:
"I've taken better photos in my backside pants"
(what a bummer)

Well fellow Corrie-nthians, so ends another week. Don't know about you but it was nice to get a reprieve from the Bethany/Daniel story except that it was replaced by the excruciating Paul/Kel story. Oh how I pine for the days of Norris. Have a great week and thanks for stopping by.
