your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
I can't wait till Amy takes her Mum to an Altovalent seminar to meet Rowan so that Tracy can 'download' a whole boatload of insults on the smug charlatan.
Yes, Tracy is back from Spain under mysterious circumstances and runs right into Ken's caregiver, Cassie. Steve is caught in the middle of the squabbling twosome and he's also wondering what has happened between Tracy and Tommy O. Tracy claims that Tommy is simply preoccupied with his new coaching job. Hmm.
But the main event over the past week is Joel's undoing. Sort of.
The shady lawyer is running out of wiggle room and Dee Dee has finally twigged to his grand deception. Dee Dee gets a warning about Joel from Joel's ex-wife. As she puts the pieces together, the last straw comes when she follows Joel to the Weatherfield hospital and sees Joel talking to Lauren in the neonatal intensive care unit.
After Joel leaves, Dee Dee confronts Lauren who begins to reveal some of the truth about her baby and Joel's past actions. Lauren also realizes that it was Joel who administered a labour inducing drug as a means to kill her baby.
Armed with this information, Dee Dee accompanies Lauren to the police station to be interviewed by D.S. Swain. As the truth comes out, one can only assume that the police will arrest Joel and find him guilty (not Nathan) of the assault of Lauren plus several other crimes.
But hold on.
Slimeball Joel knows the cops are coming for him so he takes preemptive action by going to the police (Kit) and making a cock-and-bull statement about how it was Lauren who lured him into a sexual relationship and subsequently tried to kill her baby. As for the assault, it must have been Nathan because the police found DNA evidence in his van (thanks to Sarah and Kit).
So, thanks to Joel's maneuvering, the police have no choice but to let him go. Then, amazingly, Joel shows up at Dee Dee's flat and wants to explain.
In other news, Nick refuses to give Rowan any more money. Leanne is off to see Simon and so Toyah and Nick are left alone.
After Toyah learns that her operation is a success, she and Nick are elated and the news seems to bring them even closer together - despite their feeble attempts to put aside their mutual attraction. Also, Nick foolishly confides his love for Toyah to David. Toyah is not well pleased.
Over at Ty's house, things are getting tense thanks to the return of Alina and her son (presumably Ty is the Dad). Ty is helping Alina financially and Alina is getting harassing phone calls that Ty wrongly assumes are the work of Hope. None of this is good for Fiz or the girls.
Kit is now living at the Rovers (temporarily) and seems to be attracted to Daisy. At the same time, Ryan seems to be developing a bromance with Kit.
And now for some lines from the week that was:
Steve to Adam and Tim:
"I'm so glad I haven't got a woman in my life"
(The feeling is probably mutual)
Rowan informs Leanne of yet another Altovalent promotion:
"We want you to move up to level eight"
(how many levels are there?)
Tracy to Steve re: Cassie:
"Couldn't you have done better than the local druggie?"
(some would say he's actually punching above his weight)
Mary to Fiz re: Alina:
"I was sorry to hear about the return of the Pop"
(catchy phrase)
Cassie to Steve re: Tracy:
"She's such a hot headed cow"
(wait, who are we talking about?)
David's text to Nick (which he mistakenly sent to Shona):
"Whatever you do, don't sleep with Toyah"
(thanks for the advice)
More advice from David to Nick:
"Don't be swanning about with just a towel"
"Keep little Nicky in your pants"
(better play it safe and wear a sealed hazmat suit 24/7)
Kev: re women:
"They get dazzled. See what they want to see"
(he's a regular Sheryl Sandberg)
Kirk gives Beth some job interview practice questions:
"How fast can an elephant run?"
(depends on his work team's support and his supervisor's encouragement)
Joel to Dee Dee:
"The slate's been wiped clean. Take me back"
(to quote John McEnroe, "you cannot be serious")
***
Well, fellow Swain Skeptics, so ends another week. Joel can't possible wriggle out of all the crimes he's committed, can he? Dee Dee won't listen to his litany of excuses, will she? I guess we'll find out soon enough. Thanks so much for the pleasure of your company and have a great week.
