Coronation Street Catch Up: the mouthy little freeloader edition

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

 

Looks like Daisy is on the horns of a dilemma.

Should she choose Ryan or Daniel? AKA the Fitbit or the Brain box?

It's a tough call for Daisy as she is torn between the two fellas. Ryan is pressing Daisy to be with him and he tries to seal the deal by reserving a room at the renowned Chariot Square Hotel ("Your leg over is our top priority") and meeting Daisy there for a night of pleasure, or pizza. Whatever.

Daisy shows up at the hotel but has second thoughts about cheating on Daniel. Meanwhile, Daniel has figured out Daisy's destination and shows up at the hotel looking for her and wondering just want she's up to. Debbie has also figured out that Ryan is besotted with Daisy and tells him to go for it (and offers him a cheaper hotel room as well!) as she believes he deserves to be happy.

Meanwhile Lauren (who has blackmailed Daisy and Ryan after twigging to their illicit shag) has now agreed not to continue blackmailing them and also promises that she won't spill the beans to Daniel but, as we know, Daniel already has a pretty good idea that something's going on.  Daniel also insists on continuing to tutor Lauren. Awkward.

Meanwhile on the idyllic shores of a poxy waterway, Steve is trying to reach out to Tim who is suffering from PTSD after his ordeal at the hands of Stephen. Tim has been acting erratically all week: fighting with a rival cabbie, driving badly with Beth in the taxi, and using his car to block the hearse with Stephen's coffin.

Sally instructs Steve to do something and Steve's answer is a fishing expedition. At first, Tim discounts the idea but soon he and Steve have a genuine heart-to-heart which seems to help Tim regain his mental mojo.

Speaking of the late Stephen Reid, Audrey finally decides to reconcile with Peter Barlow as she doesn't want him to fall off the wagon. Peter reiterates his regret for his actions and assures Audrey that he will not return to the booze.

Michael (who was fired from Underworld) tries to return a small amount of his own money to make up for the cash Stephen stole from the factory, but Sarah refuses to accept it. However, shortly afterwards, she does agree to rehire Michael.

Aadi struggles to make ends meet for Courtney and him in their pokey flat. Asha helps out with redecorating and Aadi gets a job at Freshco. Courtney is conspicuously absent from any financial or redecorating initiatives. She seems (how you say?) "lazy".

Dev tries to reconcile with Aadi but manages to put his foot in his mouth (as per usual). Then Courtney's husband (Darren) shows up out of the blue and announces to a shocked Aadi that he and Courtney have reconciled.

Elsewhere, Sean, who's been laid off at the Rovers, thinks Dylan should get a job to earn some money. Stu is disappointed that the private detective he hired hasn't discovered any dirt on Eliza's Dad, Dom.

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

Dev to Aadi re: Dev's snake plant housewarming gift (with no hidden meaning about Courtney):
"Sometimes a plant is just a plant"
(and sometimes it's a statement)
 
 Dev to Aadi re: Courtney (who heard every word):
"That mouthy, little freeloader"
(but it's nothing personal)

Tim to Steve:
"Do you think chimps have midlife crises?"
(yes, that's when they monkey around or buy sports cars)

Todd's improvised reason for visiting a sick friend:
"He's having a vasectomy"
(I'm sure Todd's visit will make a vas deferens)

Daisy to Toyah re: Daniel
"He deserves a lot better than me"
(you said it)
 
Debbie to Sally re: Tim's odd behaviour:
"I heard about him picking a fight with a hearse"
(who won?)

Daisy tells Jenny about her dilemma with Ryan and Daniel:
"I am drowning"
(you need a life saver, not a leg over)

***
Well, fellow Rovers regulars, so ends another week. Poor Aadi looks like he's destined to have his heart broken... again. And whatever Daisy decides, someone is going to get hurt. Poor Daniel. Poor Ryan. Poor Bertie. Thanks for stopping by. Always great to have your company. Have a great week.
