Coronation Street Catch Up: the WAG that time forgot edition

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


Happy New Year? 
More like 'Crappy New Year' for many denizens of the Street.
 
Let's start with David Platt (sidebar: I guess he didn't get a comb for Christmas).
 
Ol' Davey finally discovers the identity of Shona's one-night standee (hint: he's taller than a bread box... much taller). Anyhoo, when David discovers it was Kit, he flips out and disappears for a day or two. Shona is worried about him and wants to save her marriage but David wants her out of the house. 
 
David has a confrontation with Kit, but Kit simply fabricates a crime (he smashes his own car windshield) and arrests David. Kit also gives the Radcliffe thugs (sub-contractors hired by Harvey) the green light to put the squeeze on David (who stole Harvey's ill-gotten cash).
 
David, now fearful of retribution from the Radcliffes and the safety of his family, reconciles with Shona.
 
After Shona confronts Kit about his heavy-handed, bent-copper interaction with David, Daisy learns about his one-night legover with Shona. Daisy is not amused and tells Kit to sling his hook. Daisy is pregnant but unsure of the identity of the father. We can rule out Kirk and Ken (he's busy with Cassie) but we can't rule out Daniel or Kit. It's a toss up.
 
Speaking of Daniel, he decides to hold his engagement party in the Rovers a few feet from Daisy. How considerate! Daisy wants to have a quiet word with D (you know, just to chat about the weather and Daniel's possible fatherhood).  Meanwhile Sarah seems hellbent on sticking it to Daisy.
 
Things are moving along for Carla and Lisa except that Carla worries about Lisa's dangerous job and admits that she's falling in love with a copper. Lisa doesn't reciprocate right away although she's says she feels the same way (or will do in time).  What will Peter say when he returns from his stint on the S.S. Minnow? Maybe he'll marry them both (he's got form).
 
All is going nicely until Carla suffers what seems to be a psychotic episode but may, in fact, be sepsis. This is a dangerous health situation for her. 
 
Cassie continues to ingratiate herself with Ken (it's not too hard) much to the dismay of Tracy. Tracy is right to be concerned as Cassie has been secretly drugging Ken and also trying to bilk him out of some cash (with a cock-and=bull story about her credit card debt).
 
Over at the Bistro, Nick has been able to find video evidence that shows it was Leanne who fabricated the fraud charges against him and Toyah. Now Leanne faces a court case for fraud and is ostracized by all for her misdeeds.
 
Mason has to plan a date with Betsy but is short on ideas. Unfortunately Sally is there to 'help'.
 
And now for some lines from the week that was:

Shona describes Kit to Daisy:
"Grade A Scumbag"
(he might even be a Grade B Scumbag)

Daisy discovers that Kit had a legover with Shona:
"What was the plan? Sleep your way around the street and start with the married ones?"
(Next up: Sally?)

Daisy confides in Jenny as to her predicament:
"I don't know who the Dad is... could be Daniel could be Kit"
(time for a coin toss)

Evelyn has resolved to go back to school:
"This is going to be the best year ever for Evelyn Plummer"
(good for Evelyn)

Tracy insults Cassie:
"Anna Nicole Skag Head"
(I'll check out her Facebook page)

Cassie insults Tracy:
"The WAG that time forgot"
(at least Tommy O. seems to have)

Tracy warns Cassie to keep her paws off Ken:
"You're barking up the wrong pensioner"
(yes, only family are allowed to freeload off him)

Steve insists to Cassie that he can name two operas:
"Nutcracker was on the end of my tongue"
(sounds painful!)

***
Well fellow Kit Critics, so ends another week. I hope Carla is okay. I hope Ken is okay (Bad Cassie!). Congratulations to Evelyn for pursuing her dream. It's never too late! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week!
