Coronation Street Catch Up: the bigamy nightmare edition

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


You know, I feel sorry for Tara (the Freshco publicist) having to deal with problem clients like Gemma - especially since Ches and Gemma are getting a lot of money from the grocery chain in exchange for a few photo-shopped publicity snaps of the family. And yet, Gemma seems to blow a gasket every five minutes. I guess having quads will do that to you.

Speaking of blowing a gasket, Gary loses it after finding out that Maria lost her baby because she caught the measles from Daniel's un-vaccinated baby. Gary's solution is to punch Daniel who is wracked with guilt and now being comforted by Bethany which is sure to produce even more guilt as the twosome get more chummy. Better watch out for Beth.

And, better watch out for Sally who is livid after discovering Tim's wife in the Rovers and then discovering that everyone knows about Tim's unintentional bigamy and then finding out that Tim went and confessed to the coppers. Sally is beside herself and tells Tim to move out of the house.

On a more sedate note, Steve and Tracy join a book club (yes, a book club) in an effort to enhance their relationship but that quickly ends when the twosome make a beeline to a hotel while Ken expounds on a voluminous 18th century doorstopper.

And, in the continuing cringe worthy saga of Ghastly Geoff, Yasmeen is forced to be Geoff's assistant for his magic act but inadvertently spoils one of Geoff's tricks and incurs his wrath.

And now for some lines from the week that was:

Sally tells Charlie that she is not Tim's sister:
"Do I look like I share a gene pool with this muppet"
(certainly not the bald chromosome)

Abi to Sally re:Tim:
"What kind of numpty commits bigamy by accident?"
(um, Tim)

Sally is horrified to see the headline in the Gazette:
"Ex mayor in bigamy nightmare"
(damn the Weatherfield paparazzi)

Geoff to Yasmeen after she spoils his magic trick:
"You clumsy oafish bitch"
(I wish someone could make Geoff disappear)

Ches to Tara re: his publicity photo in the ads:
"You de-gingered me"
(isn't that something best left to a vet?)

Gemma to Chesney:
"I look like roadkill"
(is she one of those pop singers with only one name?)

Charlie tells Tim she still has feelings for him:
"I felt something stirring inside of me"
(probably the hotpot)

Well, fellow book club devotees, so ends another week. I feel bad for poor old Tim. And what about poor Yasmeen? I hope someone steps in and helps her soon. Let's see what next week brings. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week!
