your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
My apologies to all readers.
It seems that I made some serious errors with respect to Daisy in last week's blog post (although in fairness, the truth was not revealed until the beginning of the following week).
.
Here's the erratum:
Jenny's money was not saved by the bank's anti-fraud department. That was a scam and the money actually went into an account created by Daisy.
Daisy didn't go to Brighton to stay with a friend. She used the money she stole from Jenny to buy a ticket to Bali (nicer weather but no scampi or Brighton rock)
She gave some of Jenny's money to Julie, a bottle of booze to Kit, money to Ryan, tickets to Disneyland Paris for Daniel and Bertie, and a letter to Jenny.
Exit Daisy.
But the most dramatic exit was Julie who passed away while on a trip to the country with Eileen. Such a shame to bring back such an upbeat, vivacious character only to see her exit so quickly and so sadly.
Julie's passing left everyone on the Street with a heavy heart.
However grief quickly turned to suspicion and anger when Brian became convinced that Eileen facilitated Julie's death with a cocktail of medications in a case of assisted suicide. Brian, being Brian, reported the misdeed to the police who hauled Eileen in for questioning.
Todd and George have similar suspicions and try to impede the police investigation by embalming Julie's body before the police arrive to take the body for an autopsy. However the coppers catch George in the act of embalming and want to know what's going on. Moral of the story: never listen to music while embalming.
Todd has other things on his mind as Theo shows up on the Street (drunk) and in a state as his family life seems to be falling apart now that he seems to be coming out of the closet (albeit reluctantly). To make matters worse, Theo's daughter shows up to give her Dad a rollicking.
George too has other things on his mind as he wonders if Eileen is tired of him. He comes to this conclusion after watching a video made by Julie telling Eileen that she could do better.
It now seems that the violent and obnoxious Mick has some kind of shared past with Kit (amateur Laurel and Hardy tribute act?) Whatever the backstory, it seems that Mick has some kind of hold over Kit.
Still on the subject of Mick, it seems that signor slime ball has wormed his way into a job with Gary at the newly-acquired builders yard. Poor Liam is also there working part-time and subject to Mick's stupid pranks.
Lauren is being hounded on social media by an anonymous blackmailer who was a witness to her driving Tracy's stolen florist van (which was Betsy's fault). Lauren sets a trap for the lowlife only to discover that it's Jake (young son of Gary and former partner Izzy) - at least she thinks it's Jake.
Jenny is wallowing in self pity after getting scammed by Daisy and now seeing a series of potential buyers coming into the Rovers. Rita gives her a good talking to and tells her to smarten up.
And now for a few lines from the week that was:
Julie insists that Brian was her cup of tea:
"He was three sugars and plenty of milk to me"
(so, too sweet and weak ?)
Jenny to Rita:
"I'm done with men"
(I've heard that before)
Brian snaps at Billy who tries to console him:
"Thank you the Reverend Obvious"
(so much for 'three sugars and plenty of milk')
Mick is interviewed at the cop shop by Kit:
"I'm not a violent man"
(that's news to me)
Brian to Rita:
"Julie used to say I was a mine of trivia"
(aka annoying and tedious)
Debbie to cake supplier:
"I look forward to sampling your sponge"
(and I bet the cakes are good too)
***
Well, fellow Rovers returners, so ends another week. Does Mick have any redeeming qualities? Well, I guess he did save Liam from the bullies so that's one small redeeming quality. Sad to see Julie leave. Not too sad to see Daisy leave. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week.
