Coronation Street Catch Up: the bad fart edition

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

Alya is at her wit's end.

Although Yasmeen is recovering nicely from surgery, Geoff is up to his usual tricks and making Alya's life miserable at Speed Daal. He insists on coming back to work full time thus aggravating Alya. Worse, he decides to cancel the supplier (in favour of a cheapo supplier) and orders crates of booze (against Alya's wishes). 

He then offers to buy out Alya and, as an incentive, sabotages the business by telling the chef not to show up etc. etc. It culminates in Alya threatening him with a broken wine bottle. Will history repeat itself?

Looks like more details of mystery man Scott are emerging as it now seems that he and Johnny were involved in some kind of criminal activity that went horribly wrong for which Scott went to jail while Johnny remained free and silent. 

Jenny and Johnny seem to be defrosting their relationship after Johnny finally returns to the Rovers. However the chummy reconciliation between Scott and Johnny seems to make Johnny more than a little nervous. Full story still to come. Wonder what Jenny will say when she discovers the truth?

Oh Daniel! Smart fella but kind of a plank. He sees Nicki while she's working, loses it, refuses to stay away from her and then convinces her to see him again over her strenuous objections. Now it seems that many people on the Street are aware of his relationship with Nicki - and her profession. This would include Adam and Ray. 

Over at the stakeout, Mary. Billy and Sean wait to see if Todd will turn up to take the bait (i.e. a fake money drop). He doesn't. However seems that the very svelte Craig knows that the coppers interviewed Todd and then released him. So he's around - or was. Meanwhile Sean and Billy take to scanning missing persons websites. They fear the worst.

Macbeth, Voldemort, Gary Windass. Their names must not be spoken. At least that's seems to be the opinion of single-minded Adam. Seems his marriage to Sarah is well and truly over unless Sarah agrees to go to the police and tell them everything she knows about Gary's misdeeds.

Nada says Sarah. After all, Gary has helped Sarah out of a jam on more than one occasion. She refuses to drop him in it and Adam leaves huffing and puffing and taking just a few vital belongings (kilt, haggis, extended version of Braveheart etc.)

Over at the caf, David tries to get to know Shona. She seems interested but looks like Davey's in for a long haul. Dev seems to have money problems. Asha seems to be renewing her acquaintance with that boy who videoed her (yikes!) Abi doesn't take to Kev's sister who is visiting and Abi is hiding the fact that she's having a hard time resisting drugs and the temptation to relapse. Peter Barlow to the rescue!

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

Scott to Jenny re: his relationship with Johnny:
"There's no expiry date on friendship" 
(like Kraft dinner)

Nina to Shona re: David's habit of sticking around:

"Always hanging around here like a bad fart"
(is there such a thing as a good fart?)

Alya to Geoff:
"You really are a sad, deluded little man"
(so when does he get his come uppance?)

Mary to Sean:
"Use it or lose it as mother used to say before she lost it"
(I guess she didn't use it...)

Bernie to Gemma on the ocassion of her brithday:
"This time 30 years ago I was eating your placenta"
(TMI! try getting that image out of your head)

***

Well, full week followers, I watched three episodes and then realized that we're back to six episodes a week so had to binge watch another three episodes lest I seem hopelessly out of touch. Ah well. Will somebody please do something about Geoff? That's all I have to say. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy a full complement of Corrie next week. Have a great week!
