Coronation Street Catch Up: the local grease ball edition

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

Oh dear! Debbie Webster in her hypnotic leopard (lynx? Mountain lion?) sweater seems to have caused a double lover's rift.

Rift #1: Deb suspects Abi of having it off with Peter Barlow. Not true. In a drunken state, Abi makes a pass at Peter which he declines. Abi shares the story with Deb who promises to keep quiet but then sees Abi getting into Peter's taxi, assumes they're off to have it off (if you know what I mean) and tells Kev.

Rift #2: Carla is apprised of this fake news and accuses Peter of having a sort of 'sexy saviour' complex (after all she was also seduced by his legover gallantry). 

Bottom line. Kev forgives Abi for making a pass at Peter but Carla and Peter have a massive row ending with Peter being ejected from the Rovers.

Elsewhere, Daniel continues to demonstrate bad judgment combined with a "me first" attitude. He finds an envelope with five grand (in Adam's office) and decides to give it to Nicky. Nicky is in hospital having been assaulted by a customer. The money will enable her to quit her sex work and start a new life. One snag. The money belongs to Geoff and he's not happy which is why both Daniel (the intelligent plank) and Adam are arrested by the slim and trim Craig.

Hey! Eileen is back via video conference with Sean and Billy tsk tsking the two fellas for not keeping her up to date on the missing Todd. Billy has hired a private detective to find the Toddster but neglected to let Todd's Mum know.

In a gesture that we all knew was doomed right from the start, an over-eager Michael decides to propose to Grace so that he can be a family with her and his daughter, Tianna. Only problem is Grace says no. Poor Michael.

Sarah tells David that Nick is stressed, not just because of Oliver's life-limiting illness but also because he has learned that he has a biological son (with Natasha). Sarah insists that David not tell anyone as it's a big secret (yes, I'm sure that will work out).

On the sillier side, Brian bans Mary from the Kabin and Mary bans Brian from the flower shop. The reason: an argument over the true identify of a flower (don't ask). Also, Ty and Fiz (evidently with time on their hands) have a baking contest but manage to sabotage each other's buns (no further comment and please get your minds out of the gutter).

And now for some lines from the week that was:

Kevin quizzes Abi about Peter:
"Did you make a pass at him?"

(no comment)

Kevin presses the issue with Abi:
"What is it about the alky cab driver that you find irresistible?"

(local point-to-point transportation at a reasonable cost?)

Kev again to Debbie:

"Peter Barlow has all the restraint of a three-year old in a sweet shop when it comes to women"

(...and he's partial to wine gums)

Mary complains about a stranger's Heimlich manoeuvre:
"His hands were far too high up"

(hmm. Sounds more like the Handsy manooeuvre)

Daniel to Kirk:
"Sex work is work"

(thanks for the clarification)

Kevin tries to put one over on Ty:
"They took 'gullible' out of the dictionary"

(really?)

Kirk is astonished to discover that there is such a thing as almond milk:

"How do you milk almonds?"

(with a very tiny bucket and small hands) 

Debbie confronts Peter over his assumed legover with Abi:
"I get very stressed when I find out my brother's girlfriend has been knocking off the local grease ball" 

(serenity now!)

Well, fellow Corrie cobbleroes, so ends another week replete with specials about our favourite characters. Some nice tributes to the stalwart Corrie favourites like Roy and Liz. 

On a side note, let me join the chorus of well-wishers over at the Coronation Street Guestbook by sending my best to Jim. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing my feeble ramblings. Have a great Thanksgiving weekend and a great week!
