Coronation Street Catch Up: the Mary Poppins reincarnated edition

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


Don't you hate it when the two potential Dads of your unborn baby walk in on you just as the nurse mentions that your pregnant?

Well, that's what happened to Daisy after she went to the A&E to get checked out after Bethany body-checked her while cutting Bertie's birthday cake (long story, I'll get to it later).

Anyhoo, the point is that Daisy isn't sure who the baby Daddy is and hasn't mentioned Danny Jr/Kit Jr (or Danielle Jr/Kitty Jr) to either of the possible fathers. They only find out when the twosome burst into the examination room to check on Daisy's injury and are surprised to hear that she's..um...with child.

Meanwhile, back at Ken's house, it seems that young Bertie has caught Cassie putting drugs into Ken's beverage. Cassie tries to bribe Bertie with an expensive present but Bertie tells Daisy what he saw and Daisy passes this along to Daniel.

Speaking of Daniel, he and Bethany seem to be reaching an impasse. When Bethany receives a great job offer from a magazine in London, Daniel dismisses the possibility of her accepting the job and immediately assumes that she will turn it down to stay in a grotty flat with Daniel in Weatherfield.

That leads to Bethany getting tipsy, stepping on Bertie's new toy, and injuring Daisy.

Over at Kev's, Abi is definitely experiencing trauma as a result of her tragic encounter with Mason as the young man was dying in her arms after he suffered a fatal knife wound. The episode is bringing back memories of Abi's son, Seb, and she is obviously in pain.

Elsewhere, Bobby's efforts to convince his Dad (and Carla's brother), Rob, to give Carla a spare kidney seem to be working as Rob says he has found Jesus and changed his life. This mysterious transformation is further demonstrated at Her Majesty's Prison where Rob is inhabiting the same institution as Matty Radcliffe (under arrest for the killing of Mason). 
 
During visiting hours, Matty threatens a prison guard and then holds a shiv to the throat of Bobby (who's visiting his Dad). Rob appears to be a hero as he manages to get the knife from Matty and diffuse the situation safely. 

Bobby thinks his Dad is a hero and a changed man. However we then learn that the whole thing was a setup, orchestrated by Rob who seems not to have changed one iota since he murdered Tina.

Still on the subject of Mason's murder, it looks like Dylan has been charged with possession of a bladed article. This stems from his ill-fated attempt to help Mason by brandishing a knife which was eventually snatched by Matty and used to kill Mason.

And finally, Lauren's trial is about to start and she thinks her chances of being acquitted are slim, contrary to Max's repeated assurances. She decides to break up with Max.
 
Oh and Bernie accepts Dev's marriage proposal. Now all they have to do is find a free moment to share the news with the family.
 
And now for a few lines from the week that was:
 
Cassie to Ken:
"I've done something really stupid"
(you'll have to be more specific)
 
Ryan provides some important backstory to Lisa and Betsy about Carla's brother:
"Long story short: Rob's a murderer"
(maybe give us the longer story?)

Bobby to Carla re: Rob's heroics:
"He stopped me getting shivved"
(thanks Dad!)

Bethany to Daisy:
"You might think you're Mary Poppins reincarnated"
(she's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious... and pregnant)

Carla to Rob as she visits him in jail:
"Prison must agree with you"
(must be the weightlifting and communal showers)
 
Daniel reads an ad for a forest wedding: 
"A true celebration of nature"
(are you sure it's not a nudist colony brochure?)

***

Well fellow Cobble Cohorts, so ends another week. Let's hope Carla gets a kidney donor and let's also keep our fingers crossed for Dylan and Lauren as they face serious charges. Thanks for stopping by at the Hip and do have a great week.
