your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
For a man of the cloth, Rev. Billy sure has a mean right hook.
The angry archdeacon displayed his boxing skills in the Bistro when one of Paul's old pals disrespected Paul and made light of his illness. This ruined Billy's Valentine Day surprise (a serenade from a barbershop quartet) and Billbo lost his cool and assaulted the rude lout.
This was the culmination of a rather stressful day for Billy who is suffering from severe back pain as he tries to take care of Paul. The fallout? Billy gets charged with assault and is taken to the police station but fortunately Dee Dee manages to liberate the Reverend.
On top of that, Billy has secretly advised Summer not to accept an offer from a U.S. university to study abroad (due to Paul's illness). When Paul learns that Billy has been hiding the truth about Summer's opportunity and Billy's hardship, he is not pleased. Billy now fears that Paul may want to break up with him.
Poor Liam is back at school and being, once again, mercilessly bullied by uber-thug Mason and his shameful sidekick Dylan. Only George seems to be slowly getting wise to what's really going on. In the meantime, Liam isn't revealing any of his misery to Gary and Maria.
After crashing Leanne's car, Simon has hit rock bottom. He turns himself in at the police station and leaves Nick and Leanne's apartment. He is subsequently found sleeping rough by Leanne and confesses to her that he has a drinking problem.
Bobby is shocked to learn the truth about his father, Rob Donovan. It falls to Carla to tell Bobby the truth about his Dad and how Rob killed Tina McIntyre. Bobby is shocked by the revelation. The news seems to bring Bobby closer to Lauren (both having deadbeat Dads) and he helps Lauren acquire the books she needs to prepare for her English exam.
After a rollicking from Daniel, Bethany tries to make amends with Daisy but fails to tell her about the salacious article that she wrote for a gossip rag about the affair between Daisy and Ryan. Bethany tries to stop the article from appearing but is too late. What will be the fallout from the published article?
And now for a few lines from the week that was:
Mary to Daisy:
"Another lonely Valentine's evening watching 'Bridget Jones Diary'"
(could be worse; could be 'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason')
Billy to Paul:
"My back is agony"
(time for Voltaren?)
Paul to Billy:
"You've been killing yourself to keep me alive"
(Alanis Morissette would say that's ironic)
Dee Dee to Alya re: Joel:
"It's so right, it's bound to go wrong"
(that's usually the Coronation Street way)
Bernie to the feuding Daisy and Bethany:
"Take it easy. Give peace a chance"
(that's "all we are saying")
Glenda recounts her worst Valentine's Day gift:
"An edible photo of my face on top of a rhubarb pie"
(I just lost my appetite)
Glenda to Daisy re: the uncrowded Rovers:
"It's quieter in here than a date with Marcel Marceau"
(good one!)
Bobby to Evelyn:
"Who says oldsters can't be funny?"
(why, you young whipper-snapper!)
Billy asks the barbershop quartet if they are the barbershop quartet he ordered:
"Affirmative! Affirmative! Affirmative! Affirmative!"
('Yes' would have sufficed)
***
Well, fellow Weatherfield watchers, so ends another week. I hope poor Liam gets some support or finds a way out of his bullying hell at the hands of Mason and false friend, Dylan. Maybe George can help?
Speaking of help, Billy could sure use Moses' help right now as he struggles to care for Paul. Let's hope things get better soon. Thanks for the pleasure of your company and have a great week!
