Coronation Street Catch Up: the gob on a stick edition

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

I guess Westminster Abbey wasn't available so Maria and Gary tied the knot at the Bistro in front of a socially (and emotionally) distant group of quasi-friends and well-ish wishers. 

Yes, it was that kind of ceremony. Kirk was missing till the last minute (don't ask). Gary spent most of the pre-nuptial time with old flame Sarah. Adam decisively ended his marriage to Sarah. Sarah was in bits.

Geoff's efforts to drive a wedge between Sally and Tim don't seem to have worked as Sal and Tim decide to get away from Coronation Street for a few days leaving ol' Geoff to his own devious devices.

What's this? Is Todd really coming back on the scene? A mysterious missive from the Toddster instructs Mary or Sean or whoever to leave 1,000 pounds for Todd in a designated location and then leave. No explanation. But Mary and Sean decide to suss out the man of mystery by duping him with a stack of paper (rather than pound notes). 

Gemma wants to meet up with Vanessa but Van is intercepted by Bernie who warns her off because of Vanessa's awful treatment of Gemma in the past. No matter. Gemma meets her anyway.

I must say Shona seems very conversant with all the Street news and people considering that she barely knew who Roy was just a few weeks ago.

Daniel continues to press Nicky to provide therapeutic services even though she seems reluctant. After all, impersonating people isn't really her core business.

Abi is determined to make things right by seeing off her twins before they leave for Australia but has an accident and gets trapped under an engine in the garage. Peter finds her and calls an ambulance.

And now for some lines from the week that was:

Sally to Tim re: Geoff:
"When the gloves are off, he's nasty"
(he's pretty nasty when the gloves are on too)

Gemma isn't pleased when Ches blabs to Bernie about her date with Vanessa:
"Look who's here. Gob on a stick"

(That's Mr. Gob on a Stick to you)

Mary to her housemate Sean:
"If I was a man, I'd marry you"

(now that's a wedding I'd like to see)

Adam to Sarah:
"This marriage is over "

(At least you had some happy minutes together)

Bernie reading a tabloid story about a woman:
"She's had a cockroach in her ear since 2010"

(So they're celebrating 10 years together? That's way better than Sarah and Adam)

Sean describes Mary's attempt at COVID-inspired evening serenades: 

"Cacophonous warblings from the window of Number 11"

(Pavarotti, eat your heart out)

Emma to Maria re: her wedding hairstyle:
"What bride doesn't suit a tendril?"

(a bald bride?)

Sally to Geoff:
"You're a walking, talking wrecking ball"

(that's an insult to wrecking balls)

Geoff to Sally:
"I must learn to accept your hatred"

(better go back to school - there's a lot to learn)

***

Well, Corrie colleagues, so ends another week. How did Shona recover so quickly? Will we actually get to see Todd? Will Maria's marriage to Gary last longer than Adam and Sarah's?  So many questions, so few episodes. Ah well, I do hope Abi is okay. Thanks for stopping by and do have a great week. Cheers!
