Coronation Street Catch Up: The Embalming Horror at local undertakers edition

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

 

Well, it's official.

Jason Grimshaw has set a Coronation Street Olympic record for the fastest legover after setting foot in Weatherfield.

Yes, the returning 'Lad Thai' no sooner makes his reappearance on the scene than he gets jiggy with Theo's wife, Danielle, and gets caught (post-flagrante) by a crowd at Eileen's house. Seems he and Danielle had it off on Mary's bed (don't worry, he washed the sheets afterwards).

Todd is livid. Theo is rather sanguine about it all. Danielle is momentarily pleased to give Theo a taste of his own medicine. It's all rather awkward but nice to see that, despite his Thailand problems, Jason hasn't lost his mojo.

Jason hasn't lost his sense of adventure either. He wants Eileen to come with him to Thailand to invest in a bar (or maybe it's a restaurant) and enjoy life in a Thai paradise. George gets wind of the plan and decides that he will come along too (can you wear a suit in Phuket?) However George soon realizes that his plan is not realistic. He's not really keen on giving up his business and, more to the point, Eileen doesn't love him.

The Todd/Theo relationship continues on its rocky road when Theo's daughter (Millie) decides to park herself at Eileen's house (great, another person at that house!) 

Elsewhere, Sally's lips are super-pursed when she finds out Tim is meeting a social worker to discuss fostering. Sally had already voiced her opposition (can you blame her after raising Rosie?) and she is mad that Tim went behind her back but now she seems to be warming to the idea.

Looks like Mick has pleaded 'not guilty' to the charges of killing a police officer (Craig). Speaking of Mick, his son (Brody) seems to be out and about at the same time as Dylan has served his time at the STC and is also out and about. It seems that Dylan has become something of a 'hard man' as he reads Brody the riot act and also tells his Dad (Sean) that he's not interested in returning to school.

Carl is continuing to use Kev's garage as a base to issue fake MOTs and one aggrieved punter shows up to complain. While tending to his crooked business, Carl continues to make overtures to Abi and the two narrowly avoid a lip-lock which was interrupted by news of poor old Kev fainting during chemo.

And now a few lines from the week that was:

Abi to Carl:

"I think you should go back to Germany"

(schnell!) 

George finally names a Thai dish after being challenged by Eileen

"Pad Thai!"

(I thought he was going to say 'pork scratchins') 

Glenda to Brian after seeing Jason for the first time:

"Is it wrong to have sexual thoughts at a wake?"

(yes) 

 

Mary and Brian desecrate the song by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers while doing Karaoke at Julie's wake:

"Islands in the Stream"

(sounds more like "Islands in the Scream") 

Headline in the Weatherfield Gazette:

"Embalming horror at local undertakers"

(it's a fluid situation) 

Sally wonders what Tim is up to:

"This is all a rather obvious attempt to get me frisky"

(not this time) 

 

Danielle explains her afternoon delight to Jason, Todd, Eileen and Theo:

"Two birds, one bonk"

(say no more)

Well, fellow Weatherfield Watchers, so ends another week. The hockey playoffs are over so it's back to our regularly scheduled Corrie. Thanks for stopping by and do have a great week.
