Coronation Street Catch Up: the hypnobirth edition

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


Football may not be coming home, but it seems to be coming to Coronation Street thanks to James.

Seems that James has been pegged to replace Weatherfield County legend, Tommy Orpington and a news conference is planned to make the big announcement. Everyone (including Aggie who is back) is delighted, but the media seems to be more interested in James' personal life. So James takes the bull by the horns and addresses the fact that he is gay. Everyone on the Street is supportive and proud - especially superfans Tim and Steve.

On a less positive note, Ty's ex (Kirsty) has died and Ty arranges the funeral with help from Fiz. Seems the traumatic experience may be bringing the feuding couple closer until Fiz discovers that Alina is pregnant (with Little Ty or Tyette). Meanwhile Evelyn finds herself caught in the crossfire between Ty and Fiz.

Poor Gail is stressed out dealing with her dysfunctional kids and suffers a heart attack. While recovering in hospital, she decides that she needs to get away and Thailand seems be her destination of choice.

Sarah is reeling from the fact that Nick not only wants to sell his shares in the factory but then goes and sells to Carla - even though Sarah was hoping to buy the business with the financial help of Adam.

Ryan wants to pursue his dream of being a DJ although Alya would prefer him to do something more..um..lucrative. Meanwhile Daisy seems to be sticking her proverbial oar in and playing head games with gullible Ryan.

Summer isn't adapting well to her diagnosis of diabetes. She doesn't like injecting herself and seems intent on defying the realities of her condition.

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

Evelyn to Maria and Fiz re: Kirsty:
"She made Eleanor Rigby look popular"
(Just ask Father McKenzie)

Ty tells Evelyn about Alina's possible birth plans:
"She might have a hypnobirth"
(requires a midwife... and a medium)

Gail tells David she needs a break from the Platt kids:
"I need to gaze into a pond"
(instead of a sinkhole)

Gail bemoans to Audrey her kids' lack of consideration:
"What does it take to buy a box of After Eights?"
(about 11 bucks plus tax)

Ryan to Daisy:
"I'll get the old brain juices stirring then I'll start the job hunt"
(you might have a long wait)

Alina breaks the news to Ty that she is pregnant:
"When I saw that little blue line, I felt excited"
(Just wait till she uses a ballpoint pen)

David corrects Gail who is singing the wrong words to a Bastille song:
"They're singing optimist, not octopus"
(maybe they're singing about a squid who always looks on the bright side?)

***
Well, fellow County Cheerleaders, so ends another week and what a blast to have an uplifting story (especially in the wake of the Euro) about James. A star on and off the pitch. The only thing that would make this sweeter is to see toe rag Corey drummed out of the Weathy County Football Academy. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the pleasure of your company here at the Hip and have a great week!
