Coronation Street Catch Up: the tighter than a bullfighter's pants edition

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


Hail, Alma Mater, remember the day
When Rosie Webster came here, but never got an 'A'
Loud in thy Honour, our parents are posh.
Steadfast in spirit and loaded with dosh
Here's to our scholars, our glasses we fill.
Semper ubi sub ubi, Dear Old Oakhill!

- Oakhill School Song, circa 1896 (revised 2004)

Looks like Dev has had enough of public school and is sending Aadi (new Aadi, that is) and Asha to the highly regarded posh private school, Oakhill, whose list of accomplished alumni includes Rosie Webster, model, booze brand ambassador and inadvertent drug mule. Should work out fine.

Actually Asha seems to be doing better after her unfortunate and unwanted Internet fame. Even though the kids at Oakhill are already well aware of her recent past, she manages to assert herself and give that toerag Cory a piece of her mind. 

Speaking of toe rags, Geoff is recuperating back on the Street only to find that Alya has changed the locks on Yasmeen's house and he can't get in. Policeman Craig is forced to intervene and convinces Alya to hand over the keys. This allows Geoff to get in and destroy the spy camera he had hidden in the house. It also gives him a chance to delete incriminating videos of him threatening Yasmeen with a knife.

However, Sally is growing ever more suspicious of Geoff and his story. Even more so when she discovers that Geoff had paid for the services of an escort - which Geoff manages to explain away and then offers the same explanation to the police detectives.

Alya visits Yasmeen in prison only to be further shocked by the revelation that Yasmeen contracted an STI from Geoff. However Yasmeen remains reluctant to disclose this information to help her defence in court.

It looks like Shona will be staying with Roy (and Nina) for the time being as she continues her long road to recovery. We know a few things about her: she doesn't want to be with David, she seems to have forgotten about the use of oven mitts, and finds Hayley's death amusing. Looks like Roy has his work cut out for him.

Meanwhile Gary is suspicious of Imran and his conversations with Rick's daughter (Kelly). He warns Kelly not to tell Imran anything but it could be that Gary's elaborate lie about Rick (still being alive) is starting to get a little shaky. 

And now a few lines from the week that was:

Dev extols the virtues of Oakhill to Liz:

"They play classical music in the corridors"

(and in the detention hall)

Bernie re:private schools:

"They should be razed to the ground"

(while playing classical music)

Eileen to Carla re: Geoff:

"I know a villain when I see one"

(and she's definitely seen one)

Kirk to Beth re: his problem of mismatched socks:

"My sock drawer is like the snake pit in Indiana Jones - none them match"

(probably just as venomous too)

Cathy comments on Brian's thriftiness:

"Tighter than a bullfighter's pants"

(Ole!)

Sally to Tim:

"Your Dad's been seeing escorts"

Tim to Sally:

"What, he's after a new car?"

Well, convivial confinement comrades, so ends another week. Slowly but surely, the truth regarding Geoff seems to be coming to light. Let's hope the whole story is revealed before Yasmeen's trial. Thanks for stopping by and spending some time here at the Hip. Always great to have your company. Have a great week!
