Coronation Street Catch Up: The hotpots don't grow on trees edition

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

 
That Rowan always seems to be lurking around Coronation Street
 
It's like he's hiding in a skip somewhere and just pops out every 15 minutes or so to try to indoctrinate, blackmail, or squeeze money out of people. I'm surprised he hasn't materialized in the men's loo at the the Rovers to have a chat with Nick.

Speaking of the great Altovalent sage, Rowan seems a little peeved when Leanne gives him the cold shoulder as she realizes that she needs to focus on her family. Poor Toyah is having an operation after a diagnosis of ovarian cancer. The procedure is touch and go for a while and Leanne comes to realize that her sister and her husband have been neglected and deserve her love and support.

That's a bit awkward for Nick as he wants to tell Leanne that he's in love with Toyah but Toyah insists that they must not say anything to Leanne that might push her away - and back into the arms of Altovalent.

Speaking of Altovalent, it seems that Rowan is pressing Leanne to convince Amy to 'invest' her trust fund in a new Altovalent centre.  Aadi warns Amy of the risks of such an investment.

Over at Tyrone's the family is rocked by the news of Alina's reappearance in Weatherfield. Even more disruptive is the news of Alina's baby boy. 

His name? No, it's not Ty Jr.  His name is Dorin and it looks like Ty is the Dad. Ty attempts to confirm this with a DNA test but Alina catches him in the act and tells him to get lost. Fiz (bless her heart) intervenes and asks Alina to allow Tyrone to be part of his son's life.
 
Over at the Barlow's house, Steve thinks Cassie is interested in him but Cassie (who does seems interested in Steve) gives him the brush off and they have yet another insult-fest, much to Ken's chagrin.
 
Steve has another date with Demi but there doesn't seem to be much chemistry between them.

Kit boycotts a family get-together at Billy and Paul's flat. Seems he can't forgive Bernie for her actions in the past. Paul tries to convince Kit to reconcile with Bernie but, while they are chatting, Paul suddenly has breathing problems and Kit panics.

Over at the maternity ward of Weatherfield General, Joel is kept busy trying to keep Lauren under his control and, at the same time, Dee Dee is getting a tiny bit suspicious.

At Speed Dal, Stu's decision to hire noted bully Mason is proving very unpopular and incurs the wrath of Sean and Gary. Betsy (who seems to like Mason) warns Dylan not to do anything which might anger Mason.

And now a few lines from the week that was:
 
Hope to Ty:
"Jack isn't interested in me"
(pity)

Beth (who is without a job and skint) at the Rovers:
"I'll just have tap water"
(at least it's non-alcoholic)

Ty to Fiz:
"How do you burn spagbol?
(practice)
 
Rowan has news for Leanne:
"Willow would like you to run the resource centre"
(job comes with free downloads!)
 
Cassie takes a cab request from a prank caller:
"Maya Buttcheeks"
(must be related to I.P. Freely)
 
Jenny to Glenda re: her house:
"You've got your own spinster pad"
(bachelorette pad sounds better)

Jenny to Gemma who's looking for some free pub grub:
"Hotpots don't grow on trees"
(well, they're certainly not plant based)

Glenda re: Kit:
"I'd help him sort out his smalls any day"
(I'm sure his Calvin Kleins would appreciate the gesture)

Kit to Paul:
"I'm not always a nice person"
(we kind of figured)

***
Well, Dorin Devotees, so ends another week. Looks like Tyrone's family situation is about to get more complicated as he tries to connect with his son. Let's hope Amy takes Aadi's advice about investing in the Altovalent Resource Centre. Thanks for spending time with us here at the Hip. Have a great week!
