your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
First and foremost, a mea culpa for last week's error.
Reliable sources (i.e. Audrey) tell me that this will be Gail's 7th wedding (not her sixth as was erroneously reported in last week's post).
Other (fake) corrections: Kit will not leave Corrie to join the Toronto Raptors. Glenda's cruise ship experience did not include the Titanic. Steve is not a triathlete. The Hip regrets the errors.
But back to Gail's upcoming nuptials. There is a sad hen do in the Rovers that features nothing more than booze and an embarrassing quiz.
Later on, David volunteers to pick up the wedding rings for Jesse. Why, you ask? Seems that Harvey (jailbird and gangster) has learned that David stole his hidden cash and he sets his two stooges (Mason's brothers) on Davey to get his cash back. David doesn't have the money (he used it for a down payment on the house) so, as partial repayment, David gives the Radcliffe brothers Jesse's rings and pretends he was mugged, but he is still on the hook for the rest of the cash... if he doesn't pay, his family is in danger.
Shona (who was injured in a hit and run by Daisy) finally squeezes the truth out of David regarding the stolen money and, in desperation, requests help from Kit in fending off the threats from the Radcliffe boys. Kit (who has helped Daisy avoid charges for her hit and run on Shona by erasing CCTV footage) is obliged to help Shona and roughs up one of the Radcliffes as a warning.
Speaking of Kit, it looks like he's quite a 'playa' as they say - first with Shona, now with Daisy and then some random woman leaving his flat in the morning hours and spied by Daniel who reports back to Daisy.
Also, Daniel has discovered that rockin' tunes are better than podcasts for motivation while out running. Duh!
Elsewhere, baby Frankie's bruises have been diagnosed not as abuse but aplastic anemia which requires a donor for a blood transfusion (or maybe even a bone marrow transplant). The search for a donor rules out Lauren (who had Hep C in the past) but could possibly be helped by Dee Dee's baby except that Dee Dee has already opted for a termination and is supported in her decision by Ed and Michael.
The relationship between Carla and Lisa seems to be off to a rocky start due to Carla's refusal to go public and Lisa's jealously. However the problem is solved when a trio of Underworld employees barge into Carla's flat and discover D.S. Swain coming out of Carla's bedroom. Everyone clues in to what's going on except Kirk.
Gemma is back (with a new hair style/colour) and Chesney confesses his ongoing feud with a mystery guy in a van. The feud has unfortunately escalated to the point where Ches dumps half a bag of sugar into the mystery van's gas tank. Also, Ches continues to refuse to sign an NDA agreement with Les' former employer although both Leanne and Toyah would like to sign and get the $60,000 pounds being offered.
Leanne is also very busy in her ongoing revenge efforts which see Nick traveling to Tenerife with Sam (instead of Toyah) and Leanne committed to making Toyah's life as miserable as possible.
And now for some lines from the week that was:
Tracy to Leanne re: Leanne's revenge plans:
"I think you might be more evil than me"
(surely not)
David offers thanks to Kit for warding off the Radcliffe thugs:
"If ever you want a free haircut..."
(thanks but no thanks)
Shona reads the last hen do question to Gail:
"What do a hippo, a walrus, and a sea lion have in common?"
Gail to Shona and Sarah:
"My fiance's left cheek"
David points out to Audrey that he and Nick haven't recently defrauded her:
"Not for a while now..."
(so nice of you and Nick)
Debbie is annoyed that one of the Radcliffe boys dissed her:
"I can't believe he called me elderly"
(...out of respect, surely)
Gail to Audrey re: ideas for her wedding hairdo:
"What's wrong with my normal hair?"
(how much time do you have?)
Debbie on seeing Carla and Lisa at the spa:
"Girlie pals having a good time"
(that's one way of putting it)
Lisa Swain to Carla's business client:
"Your creepy, touchy routine is totally inappropriate in a business meeting"
(arrest him for causing GBH [grievous business harm])
***
Well, fellow Street Savants, so ends another week. Happy New Year to you and let's hope that 2025 brings some funny and compelling story lines on Coronation Street. Now, uncork that Proseco and raise a glass! Cheers!
