Coronation Street Catch Up: the local snow bunny edition

your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
 
 
Well, it had to happen eventually, didn't it?
 
D.S. Swain gets pie-eyed in the Rovers and ends up at Carla's flat where (after a drunken nap) she and Carla do the horizontal mambo. In many ways, they're the perfect match. Lisa is gay and Carla is sick of men (i.e. Peter the not-so-Great).
 
They would probably have kept canoodling except that Lisa gets an SOS message from Betsy (why do they need a secret code?). Seems that Mason's two thug brothers have cornered her and she's in trouble.
 
Speaking of Mason, it seems that he has once again incurred the wrath of his two nasty siblings for claiming that he shopped them to the coppers for stealing Tim's car (it was actually Tim who informed the cops) but Mason stepped in to save Tim from being the target of his brothers' revenge. 
 
But the main event last week was the ongoing saga of who gets charged with the murder of Joel.
 
While Max has a plan to take the blame and somehow evade prison time by claiming it was self defence, Shona and then David finally learn the truth and now know that it was actually Lauren who killed Joel with a rock. 
 
Now it's Lauren's turn to be grilled by Detective Kit and she is subsequently charged with murder. Max will not be happy when he learns that it was David who tipped off the cops.
 
Dee Dee is pregnant even though she only slept with Joel one time (spoiler: it only takes one time). Sarah is there for support (after all she had a hoodlum's baby) and, BTW, there's always Fiz (she had a killer's baby). But Dee Dee doesn't want anyone to know.. at least for now.
 
Ken is taken to hospital after a dangerous overdose of Warfarin (blood thinner). At first the blame is directed at Cassie (who was in fact purposely giving Ken a secret overdose) but then Tracy is blamed and shunned from the Kingdom of Barlow.
 
And now for some lines from the week that was:

Nick relates his expert knowledge to David:
"Women are like sniffer dogs, they always get to the truth"
(thanks for the flattering comparison)
 
Dee Dee to Sarah:
"I'm having a pervert's baby"
(Isn't that a Paul Anka song?)
 
Steve confesses his brief relationship with Cassie:
"I had a slight dalliance before I realized the error of my ways"
(aka, a no-strings attached legover)

Tracy to Steve re: Cassie:
"You got off with the local snow bunny"
(that's another way of putting it)

Swain to Carla:
"I'm an excellent drinker. I've had a lot of experience"
(it's on her CV)

Ryan to Carla re: her night with Lisa:
"Looks like Team Connor has its mojo back"
(someone should send a postcard to Peter)

 Well, fellow Street Savants, so ends another week. Thanks for spending time here at the Hip and have a great week.
