your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
Take my kidney, please!
Rob is determined to donate one of his kidneys to Carla and one wonders about his real agenda. After all, he staged the whole knife scene in the visitors room when Matty Ratcliffe used a shiv to threaten a guard and Bobby.
So, although Bobby believes that his Dad has discovered religion, Carla has her doubts but agrees to Rob's donation. In the meantime, Carla is back home under the watchful eye of Lisa Swain.
But there are bigger fish to fry on the Street.
Over at the courthouse, Lauren is on trial for the murder of Joel. Things are going about as well as expected with witnesses including Max and Roy being grilled like burgers at a Canada Day barbecue by the wily prosecuting lawyer.
Lauren makes an impassioned speech (is that allowed in court?) but it is actually Dee Dee who makes the best appearance as she calls out Joel's Dad for paying an inmate to goad Lauren into a fight.
Will any of this make a difference to the jury? We don't yet know but the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict during their first deliberation... so you never know.
Elsewhere Abi is dealing with hallucinations of Seb and refusing to get help although Kevin and Toyah have tried to suggest some counseling. Kev is also dealing with a possible diagnois of cancer as he awaits a biopsy of a lump in his nether regions.
The big story of the week is Daisy's pregnancy. Daniel wants to take a DNA test because if (and only if) he's the Dad, he will "step up" - whatever that means. In the meantime, he's also agreed to go to London with Bethany as she accepts a new job and he's also agreed to a wedding.
But it all falls apart during a pub quiz at the Rovers when Daisy grabs the mic and slips in a surprise paternity question to the assembled punters. This lets the cat out of the bag (meow) and everyone learns that a) Daisy is pregnant and b) Kit or Daniel is the father.
This causes a chain reaction. Bethany gives Daniel the heave ho. Daniel is cheesed off with Daisy. Kit is not pleased at the public revelation. Jenny is upset that her trivia luncheon has been spoiled. Even more drama ensues later as Daisy experiences sharp stomach pains and has to go to the ER.
A side note (actually a pretty big one) is that Jenny and Daisy have been summoned by Carla and informed that Carla wants the money (that the twosome stole) back pronto. Seems that Carla may have to go private for her kidney transplant and that's expensive so she needs her cash. Just how Daisy and Jenny are going to raise that kind of money ($100 K) without selling the Rovers remains to be seen.
Leanne (egged on by Tracy) decides to make a nuisance of herself by camping out at the Bistro and helping herself to free wine and meals. And, just to top it off, Leanne makes a pass at Ronnie.
And now for a few lines from the week that was:
Lauren to prosecuting lawyer:
Jenny introduces her lunch time trivia contest:
Rob explains his enlightenment to Carla:
"Don't look down your nose at me"
(and, while you're at it, remove that wig)
"Let's get quizzical!"
(I don't get it)
Daisy poses a question about the father of her unborn child during the trivia quiz:
"Is it a) Kit Green or b) Daniel Osborne?"
(hmm... tough one. Can we have a hint?)
Kirk ponders Daisy's question:
"What's the answer? Is it Kit or Daniel?"
(ask your teammate)
Daisy re: Daniel:
"You are every cliché in the book"
(you can't judge a book by its cover)
"I was in a really dark place"
(the men's washroom?)
Carla to Jenny and Daisy:
"You two lying, thieving cows still owe me"
(in other words, she'll send you an invoice)
Tracy to Leanne:
"Who wazzed on your chips?"
(the customary accompaniment is malt vinegar)
Carla wonders why Lisa is spending so much time with her:
"Don't you have criminals to catch?"
(Kit seems to be doing that)
Daniel to Daisy:
"I want to do a DNA test"
(after all he did well on his GCEs)
***
Oh well. Thanks so much for stopping by. All the best and have a great week.
