Coronation Street Catch Up: the appointment with a sinkhole edition

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

Finally! The revelation we've all been waiting for...

Imran got a haircut! (No, wait, that's not it). 

Dev is actually working at Prima Doner! (No, not that either).

Geoff has finally been outed thanks to some damning video of him abusing Yasmeen after his magic show went wrong. Seems that Sally snuck into Geoff's house, stole his laptop and Faye managed to find the incriminating video on the computer.

It's enough evidence for Tim to see the light but apparently not for the police to do anything except release Geoff. Tim is disgusted by his Dad and realizes that his childhood is based on lies. As a result, he heads to off find his real Mum, Elaine, but to no avail. She seems to have disappeared. Could Geoff be to blame?

Speaking of sinkholes, a big one seems to have appeared in David's backyard. Actually it seems to have been "engineered" by Ray for some dastardly reason. At least Shona seems amused. David? Not so much

Meanwhile the situation is dire for little Oliver who is rushed to hospital and in intensive care after more seizures. This seems to have scuttled happy plans for a holiday in Cornwall. Steve is devastated by the dismal prognosis for Oliver but Leanne remains in denial.

As for Nick, he happens to run into his old girlfriend Natasha with whom he had a spectacularly unsuccessful relationship (thanks for interfering... again, Gail). Didn't Natasha have an abortion and then try to take her own life? Anyway, seems that she's back and has a nine-year old son who is, you guessed it, Nicky Jr. Huh? Don't ask. Suffice to say that Natasha either wants Nick to commit to his son or do one. Nick, struggling with Oliver's situation, is torn.

Billy thinks that Kel might be dead after reading about a man (fitting Kel's description) is found floating in the canal. He finally tells Paul who is shocked.

Imran and Toyah could be one step closer to becoming foster parents (must be the haircut). 

Asha continues to see that toerag Corey (you know the one who secretly videotaped her) even though wise Goth Nina advises her not to spend time with boys who don't respect her. Meanwhile, Dev is having financial troubles and it seems that the kebab shop is up for sale (note to buyers: hot sauce will cost extra).

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

Mary to Billy who had a sleepless night from worry:
"I've seen fewer bags on an airport carousel"

(good one... but don't quit your day job at the flower shop)

Shona to David:
"Sounds like you're not a very nice person"

(True)

David has bad memories of sleeping on Audrey's corduroy couch:
"I woke up with a face like an underdone panini"

(so, what's ciabatta with you?)

The fake technician explains to Ray why David's backyard hole took so long to appear:
"You can't make an appointment with a sinkhole"

(Yes, just try getting a meeting with Geoff)

Tim finally sees the light and confronts Geoff:
"That man, that bully, that's you"

(Alleluia!)

Tim confronts Geoff with the fact that he destroyed Yasmeen's clothes:
"Who burns clothes?"

(a fashion-conscious pyromaniac?)

Mary to Cathy:
"I communicated with a dolphin once"

(sounds fishy)

***

Well, pandemic pals, so ends another week. Thank goodness the truth about Geoff has finally emerged. But will he ever pay for his sins? And what could Asha possibly see in that slimy toad Corey? 

Hope you're enjoying the return to a full six episodes of Corrie a week. Thanks for dropping by and have a great week (second wave notwithstanding). Cheers!
