your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
Exit Mason.
The poor lad was turning his life around, being nice and planning to join Stu in Germany to work at Stu's new resto - before misfortune struck. Mason was stabbed by his no-good brothers and even the miracle workers at Weatherfield General Hospital couldn't save him. He - and his eyelashes - will be missed.
The theme of the week seems to be young'uns on Coronation Street doing daft things.
Let's start with Dylan.
Mason enlists Dylan's help as he breaks into his brothers' flat to recover stolen items which could implicate the bad bros in the death of Lisa Swain's wife. Mason gives the stolen goods to D.S. Swain to be used as evidence in finally bringing the Radcliffe brothers to justice.
It's a grand gesture but it leads to Mason getting cornered in a ginnel by his two evil brothers (Matty and Logan). Dylan comes to Mason's rescue brandishing a knife (which he foolishly keeps hidden at home). One of the brothers grabs the knife and stabs Mason.
Dylan is racked with guilt and finally confesses the truth to his Dad (Sean). Sean is horrified and tells Dylan he must tell the police the truth about the knife (even though Dylan wasn't the stabber) but Dylan is scared and just wants to run away. Probably not a good idea...
Other examples of young'uns doing bad things?
Well, there's Joseph who is encouraged by Hope ('natch) to pull pranks. So Joseph calls in a fake emergency to 999 (911 in Canada) which happens to divert Asha's paramedic crew to a hoax address and is thus late coming to the aid of Mason. Joseph turns himself into the police and Kit brings him home to tell Gemma and Chesney about his misdeed and Hope's encouragement.
Finally, there's Betsy who is racked with anguish and sorrow over Mason's death and confesses to her Mum (Lisa Swain) that she actually helped Matty and Logan with their robbery of Underworld (which led to the Radcliffe's assault of Carla). Lisa is shocked and upset - even more so when she learns that Carla knew of Betsy's involvement in the robbery and said nothing.
Speaking of Carla, it seems that her infection has damaged her one remaining kidney but the extent of the damage is not yet known.
Tracy is having trouble convincing Steve and Amy that Cassie is up to no good.
On the brighter side, Evelyn continues making strides in her plan to attend University. A taxing interview with a woman (whom Evelyn actually impersonated in order to attend a law seminar) is awkward, but Evelyn perseveres and is now a bona fide student. How will she cope with her studies and her other responsibilities? Let's keep our fingers crossed that she succeeds.
And now for a few lines from the week that was:
Sarah tells Bethany that she is helping the planet:
"I do my recycling and I stopped eating meat"
(I'll let Greta Thunberg know)
Kit catches Matty and Logan as they don their criminal gear:
"Nice balaclavas lads!"
(it's the latest fashion for stylish thugs)
Sally to Tim re: Dylan:
"Why would he even carry a knife?"
(good question)
***
Well, fellow Mason mourners, so ends another week and hats off to Mason for his heroic efforts to turn his life around before being fatally stabbed by his thug-based brothers. It was a grim week so not many fun or memorable lines. Let's hope for happier times in the weeks ahead (and, BTW, well done Evelyn!)
Have a great week and thanks, as always, for the pleasure of your company.
