your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
Hold on. So you're saying that Carl is Kevin's brother?
How can that be? Kev is grizzled, weathered and rough looking. Carl looks like someone slipped Keanu Reeves' DNA into his genes.
Oh well, let's just accept that Kev and Debbie's long lost brother is Carl from Germany. Abi meets Carl during a fender bender in a parking lot and there is some, how you say, 'mutual attraction'. But then Abi learns that Carl is Kev's sexier, flirtier brother and she's a little uncomfortable. Now Abi would like to get rid of Carl but Carl is staying, despite the fact that his German company (Volkswagen, I presume?) is going bust.
Also, while Debbie is forging ahead with plans to marry Ronnie, she is hiding the fact that she has been diagnosed with possible dementia and is awaiting an MRI. Nosy Carl discovers Deb's diagnosis but Debbie swears him to secrecy.
Elsewhere, it seems that evil Brody is the son of Mick and Lou. Not a big surprise really. As they say, the apple never falls far from the STC (Secure Training Centre). The problem is that Brody is using the threat of violence against Dylan (who is currently residing in the STC with Brody) to blackmail Sean into bringing him a cell phone and now 500 pounds.
Sean steals money from Julie's fundraising jar in the factory but can't go through with his plan and thus Brody is ready to punish Dylan - except that dear old Dad (Mick) takes matters into his own hands and we see a beaten and bloody Sean lying in the ginnel. It looks like Mick is responsible.
Speaking of the abhorrent new family, matriarch Lou wants a job at Audrey's. I'm sure, with her expert skill set and customer service ethic, she'll be a big success...NOT! What is Audrey thinking when she hires Lou on a trial basis?
Over at Sarah's flat, there seems to be a bit of a legover scheduling problem.
Sarah wants to have it off with Kit but every time she opens the door to her flat, she finds Todd and Theo body surfing in her spare bedroom. Looks like Todd is willing to go along with Theo's subterfuge as Theo continues to play hetero Dad with his wife and family. Not only that, but Theo's wife now believes that Todd and Sarah are a couple.
Dee Dee continues to struggle with her recovery and the fact that the hospital staff mistreated her during her pregnancy. Her formal complaint to the hospital doesn't produce results but she is undeterred and comes into contact with other mothers who have received shoddy treatment during their respective pregnancies.
Over at the Rovers, Christina and Daisy both know about Jenny's secret plan to hold on to the pub by using her 60K windfall to secure a loan and pay back Carla. Daisy is growing increasing angry at Jenny's lies.
And now for a very few lines from the week that was:
Dee Dee tells Asha she can't keep silent about racism at the hospital:
"To be silent is to be complicit"
(true)
Steve explains why Cassie was jumping on him as Ty and the girls walk in:
"She was booking a cab"(some people prefer to use a phone)
Todd to Theo:
"I'm an undertaker. Dignity is all I've got"
(as well as a suit and a thin tie)
Debbie to Carl re: the tasting menu at the hotel:
"Keep your gob shut and enjoy the free grub"
(how is that even physically possible?)

Well fellow Street savants, so ends another week. It does get more grim with each passing week. Only the most stalwart fans are hanging in. Still, thanks for dropping by and spending some time at the Hip. Have a great week!
