your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
Well, well... Kale has finally made its appearance on Coronation Street (in a good way) probably for the first time in the show's history.
The robust, leafy green is an essential ingredient in Debbie's new, healthy smoothie (along with cucumber and avocado), part of Debster's new healthy lifestyle. But, at the same time, Deb is contending with the stresses of her hotel business (assisted by Ryan) and the well-meaning (but unwelcome) interventions of her fiance, Ronnie.
Speaking of 'hotel business', this seems to be the location of Carl's Canoodling Chamber (aka the hotel room where he's currently residing). While scheduling a legover with Abi, Carl is ambushed by libidinous Tracy. Carl wards off Torrid Trace with a phony 'dicky tummy' story. (BTW, 'Dicky Tummy' is also the name of my accountant).
However, Carl is miffed when he discovers Abi has had martial relations with (wait for it) her husband! How dare she! Carl is even more miffed when he discovers Abi is heading off on vacation to sunny climes with Kev et famille. As a petty revenge tactic, Carl arranges a date with Tracy to make Abi jealous... and it seems to be working.
Over at Underworld, Sarah's plan to use a sultry sales pitch on a potential customer falls flat. Not only that, but the customer (Eli) also accuses Sarah of sexual harassment. Maybe the fact that Eli was harassed by a zealous copper (Kit) had something to do with it.
Speaking of Kit, seems David's vendetta with the Brobdingnagian bobby is heating up. David ambushes Eli and tells him that Kit is a rogue copper and that Eli should report him. Meanwhile Kit's boss (Costello) assigns Kit to desk duty so he can "protect" him - whatever that means. Lisa has her suspicions but hasn't yet figured out what's going on between Costello and Kit.
Dee Dee wants to work part-time for Adam and suggests that Adam hire
Alya to help out at the law firm. Adam isn't sure that the new arrangement will work. At the same time, Dee Dee is
interested (romantically) in a new client but resists the idea of
pursuing a relationship because of her past history with Joel.
Elsewhere, Steve's unwelcome stay at Ty and Fiz's comes to an abrupt end after his babysitting assignment with Dorin ends in a panic. Dorin can't be found (Steve thought Dorin might have hidden in an old fridge that was carted away to the dump) but fortunately Dorin turns up in the backyard. The whole episode provides a diversion for Carl to destroy Hope's phone which contains an incriminating photo of him and Abi.
But Carl's exploits could all be for nought as Tracy finally figures out that the object of his desire... is Abi.
One can only hope that Tracy's integrity and discreet personality will prevail and she'll keep this information to herself.
...I'm kidding of course.
I'm sure the news will be all over the Street before you can say "hotpot".
And now for a few lines from the week that was:
Sarah justifies her sexy sales pitch :
"We sell underwear to mainly men"
(you mean men are wearing Underworld knickers?)
Tracy tells Carl why she's up for a legover:
"Bad things happen when I'm bored"
(bad things also happen when she's not bored)
Debbie reveals her recipe for smoothies:
"It's kale, avocado and cucumber"
(What? No bacon barm cake?)
Kit tells David to get lost:
"Jog on blow dry boy"
(wasn't that the name of Batman's other sidekick?)
Tracy guesses the name of Carl's secret love:
"She wears overalls and stinks of motor oil"
(it's either Ty in drag or Abi)
Carla to Deb and Lisa:
"I'm not brittle, heartless or jaded"
(despite what it says on her business card)
Abi to Carl re: their secret tryst:
"The whole thing's a death wish"
(it is now that Tracy knows about it)
Shona warns David to stop winding up Kit:
"I will put your head in the fryer if you don't leave him alone"
(that could improve his hair style)
Cassie wants Steve to repeat his sexy dance at Dev's stag:
"I'll be your pole"
(you mean like Lech Wałęsa or Chopin?)
***
Well, fellow Street savants, so ends another week. I can only imagine what mayhem will ensue now that Tracy has guessed the name of Carl's legover partner. Thanks for the pleasure of your company here at the Hip. Have a great week!
