Coronation Street Catch Up: the Origin of the Species edition

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

Apologies for the delay. The lovey-dovey hook-up between Jenny and Stephen made me slightly queasy and I just recovered.

It looks like Stevie Blunder has worked his creepy charm on Jenny and she's fallen for him like the Berlin Wall in 1989. Now the Kanadian Killer has moved into Jenny's BnB (across the hall from Jenny's boudoir). Where will it end?

Meanwhile Ty is trying hard to build a relationship with Cassie. He even gets her a job at the garage. However it's not going well as Cassie is still fending off a drug dealer (but Abi helps her out of that jam). However, when Ty entrusts his Mum with some cash to buy a present for Ruby, she can't resist the chance to use the dosh to buy drugs and is found unconscious after taking an overdose.

Good news and bad news on the Bailey front.

The good news is that Ronnie's insider trading gambit worked and the brothers made out like bandits (so to speak). More good news. Ed's bid to buy some land won out and the twosome are poised to undertake a big development project. Unfortunately, it looks like the whole episode has re-awakened Ed's interest in gambling. Not good. Especially not good since Ronnie just handed Ed a credit card with access to all their cash.

Seems that Max doesn't want to attend college (based on one grueling day of classes). Instead he wants to seek out an apprenticeship. As a side note, Lauren misleads Sabrina into thinking that Max is her main squeeze.

Bernie is pursuing a new business opportunity in the 'fencing of merchandise' sector. Shelly is providing the merchandise; Bernie is doing the fencing at the market with a trusted retailer whose first name appears to be "Big".

As a result of the successful sale of Newton and Ridley, Henry Newton finds himself out of a job but he has a nice financial settlement to play with. He then makes a play for Gemma who declines to settle for a rich guy who's besotted with her. As a result, Gemma once again finds herself jobless.

Debbie to Ronnie re: what will happen with the Newton and Ridley shares:
"Who am I? Mystic Meg?"
(More like Martha Stewart?)

Evelyn to Ty re: Cassie:

"She's like a human typhoon"

(batten down the hatches)

Dev to Bernie:

"You are having an affair with Big Garth"

(I think he's got the wrong end of the 'Big' stick)

Jenny to Henry:

"Elon Musk bought Twitter and that worked out alright"

(X marks the spot)

Kirk works on a crossword:

"Five on each hand, seven letters"

(claws?)

 

Bernie disses Henry to Chesney:

"Who wants to read 'Origin of the Species' when you're on a night out?"

(Darwin?)

Well, fellow Hot Pot Hombres, so ends another week.  It looks like Ty is in for more heartache from his Mum. Thanks for stopping by. Apologies for the delay in posting. Have a great week.
