your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
Where's Stephen Reid when you need someone (even a serial killer) to add a little zip to the current crop of pedestrian stories happening on Coronation Street?
Let's start with Gemma. First, her Mum (Bernie) is sentenced for being involved in handling stolen goods (while helping Shelly with her credit card scam). As a result, Bernie will spend the next six months behind bars. Gemma is angry and tangles with Big Garth (whom she maintains was the key guilty party behind the scheme) trying to force Garth to tell the truth to the coppers.
At the same time, Gemma is being investigated by social services after Joseph is treated in hospital for poisoning. The social services lady wants to make sure that Gemma is not harming her children and says Gemma must leave her home while the investigation is completed. Naturally, Gemma ignores the warning and is caught breaking the rule. Meanwhile Joseph is, once again, not feeling well.
Over at the caf, Shona accuses Lauren of stealing money from the till. Lauren is vindicated but quits her job in a huff. Meanwhile Max and Sabrina try to figure out who Lauren's mysterious, rich and fit boyfriend is... if he actually exists.
The tedium continues as Asha and Nina fret about their strained relationship. Asha continues to pal around with Isla who turns out to be interested in having a more intimate relationship (beyond mentoring). Meanwhile Nina gets some 'help' from Shona, concocting an imaginary suitor named Rob, designed to make Asha jealous. It doesn't work.
More ennui between Ryan and Crystal. Crystal wants Ryan to come with her to Glasgow where she has a job and he can have a job as a DJ (and, one presumes, all the deep fried Mars bars he wants). Sounds perfect but Ryan still has feelings for Daisy. When Daisy pops into the flat for a chat, Ryan's video recorder inadvertently catches the twosome recounting their furtive legover. Alas, part-time snoop (and full-time waster) Simon forwards a copy of the video clip to Daniel. Oops.
Over at Ty's, seems Hope is not that crazy about Cassie's involvement in her birthday party. Evelyn assures Cassie that it just takes time and strategy to win Hope's approval.
Sarge continues to annoy Ed by buying a ton of birthday gifts even though he's skint
And now for a very few lines from the week that was:
Lauren insists that she just wants to be mates despite an expensive gift:
"I'm not trying to get into Max's pants"
(thanks for the clarification)
Nina corrects Isla about her profession:
"I'm not a designer, I work in a cafe"
(thanks for the clarification)
