Coronation Street Catch Up: the telescope wielding ten-year-old edition

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

Sharon Bentley's purse essentials for the working gal: lipstick, hand sanitizer, packet of Kleenex, breath mints, hair elastics and... a Taser.

A Taser!??? Yep, seems that Jenny the sleuth discovered that Sharon's a bad dudette who not only arranged for Sam's kidnapping, but is also connected to jailed drug kingpin and nephew, Harvey the Horrible.

So, when Jenny confronts Sharon with the truth, Sharon pulls out a Taser and um.. "neutralizes" poor old Jenn who lands horizontal on the cobbles. Jenny is taken to hospital but the cat is out of the bag. Rita knows the truth and confronts Sharon who lays a guilt trip on Rita but it looks like Sharon has finally been rumbled.

Gary, fearing that Rita is in danger, busts into the Kabin in pursuit of Sharon who nips out the back door. Gary catches up with Sharon but her henchman buddy is there and shoots at Gary who dodges the bullet as young Sam coshes the bearded assailant with a telescope. Another victory for science!

Later, Maria seems to like the fact that Gary saved the day and is not, in this particular case, evil or lying. Maybe he won't move to Bristol after all but will stick around.

But back to Jenny. Poor Jenn, lying in a hospital bed after the Taser attack, has to confess to Johnny that she had horizontal hijinks with Ronnie. This leads to a showdown over who has acted worse in their marriage and committed the most egregious acts (tough choice). Johnny ends up leaving and it looks like they are splitsville.

Elsewhere, Seb's funeral is over and Asha gets together with Corey in order to drug him (with Abi's help) and find incriminating evidence on his phone. Abi and Nina show up at their flat and Corey winds up falling down the stairs. However Asha does find some evidence of Corey's movements following Seb's murder which is enough to prompt the police to delve further into Corey's actions.

Carla and Sarah discover that pretty boy Lucas ripped them off and they set off to recoup their merchandise from his warehouse. Sarah (who is dressed for the Duran Duran revival show later that evening) subsequently gets into a flaming argument with Carla over Adam's refusal to take a liver test in order to be a potential donor to Peter.

And now for some lines from the week that was:

Jenny describes Sharon to Ronnie:
"It's her, gob on a stick"

(hard to argue with that)

Sarah sums up Adam's motivation for being a liver donor for Peter:
"I slept with your missus, but here, have a liver"

(thanks, but you shouldn't have)

Rita to Sharon (before she learns the truth):
"You've turned into a very fine woman"

(you mean, 'fine felon')

Nina reflects on existence to Roy: 
"Life is a pigsty"

(I thought it was a highway...)

Johnny is shocked to learn what Sharon did to Jenny:
"You can't go round tasering people"

(Phew, that's a relief)

Jenny refutes Daisy's comparison with Jennifer Lopez:
"JLo's never had to work here"

(unless she's out back getting a new barrel)

Paul wonders why Ronnie is leaving the Rovers B&B:
"You didn't give Jenny a bad review on Trip Advisor?"

(quite the contrary. The amenities were superb)

Adam describes who came to Gary's rescue:
"Telescope wielding ten year old" 
(don't mess with him - he can see what you're up to... from a long way)

Well, Coronation companions, so ends another week. Thanks for stopping by and spending some time here. Love your company. Have a great week. Cheers!
