your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
Breaking news!
Lisa's late wife is not dead. Apparently she was in Spain.
(it's a mistake anyone could make).
It seems Officer Becky went undercover to infiltrate one of the city's most heinous organizations (Manchester United?) and her death was faked.
However, after four years of undercover work, her real identity was leaked and she had no choice but to hide out in Spain (I hear 'the running of the bulls' is lovely this time of year).
So, Becky shows up suddenly Chez Lisa and sends Officer Swain into a gobsmacked tizzy. Not to mention the fact that Lisa is currently engaged to nasal nymph Carla. Awkward!
Then there's the mystery of Tia Wardley who is somehow involved in all this. How does she fit in?
All other happenings seem rather pedestrian in comparison to this somewhat fantastical tale but let's press on.
Poor Ty is in hospital after getting hit by a stolen car. Hopefully he'll be fine but he does have some serious injuries.
Meanwhile the prime suspects are the Bonehead Brothers, Dylan and Brody, who are working with Carl on this illegal car stealing project. The stolen car gets torched to destroy evidence but not before Dylan is spotted in the stolen car by George. And surely Betsy (who almost got hit by the same car) must have recognized the driver and passenger?
Speaking of George, he seems to be more and more entranced by the penniless Christina (although it seems she is well stocked with mascara). Hopefully he won't go down the same path as the legendary Fred Elliot who was ready to marry anything that moved.
In other news, David (renowned recycling enforcer) finds a positive pregnancy test in the bins and assumes it belongs to Betsy. Wrongo. Then he assumes it's Lily and gives her a right rollicking. Wrongo again. Finally, it's Shona who reveals that the pregnancy test is hers and she is, as they say, with child. Happy news, right? Unless we aren't sure who the Daddy is?
Maybe the ultrasound will give us a clue (if the image is very long, it could be the local tall cop. If the image is extremely short, it's probably the cranky hairdresser).
Elsewhere Todd and Theo seem to be back together because Todd mistakenly believes that Theo is going to therapy sessions to work out his anger, kebab hatred, and personal demons. Sadly, the truth is Theo is not in therapy but he lied about it. So watch out for more fireworks ahead, especially if Billy continues to 'help' by sticking his beak in.
Debbie decided to take over the dementia choir and was promptly fired. However, she and Glenda have decided to form their own singing tandem. Can't wait to hear the results.
Some good news this week as Evelyn reappears and tries to help Roy deal with his ailing back. Speaking of Roy, he seems positive that he saw Becky at the hospital and tells Carla.
Betsy celebrates her 18th birthday by drinking copious amounts of alcohol. One wonders if she has any redeeming qualities.
And now for a few lines from the week that was:
Lisa to Becky who shows up suddenly:
"It's been nearly four years"
(and not even a postcard)
Becky explains her absence to Lisa:
"I was in Spain"
(so, not dead?)
"Is she any taller?"
(No, Carla is about the same height)
Lisa introduces Becky to Carla:
"This is my wife"
(and this is my new wife)
Christina mourns the fact that the late Dom left her nothing:
"Whatever he had left, he left to a donkey sanctuary"
(ka-ching! Those donkey sanctuaries are raking it in)
Evelyn to Carla and Lisa:
"Got loads of lesbians at uni"
(thanks for the politically incorrect info)
Sally as she congratulates Lisa and Carla on their engagement:
"I have a lesbian daughter"
(again, thanks for the politically incorrect info)
James tells Dee Dee that he's seeing people again
"Don't think I haven't got back on the horse by now"
(And by horse, he means Carl)
Carla to David re: his fixation on garbage bins:
"I promise not to encroach on the sanctity of your general waste ever again"
(... so help me God)
Evelyn to Roy re: his back problems:
"I've got one word to say to you and that word is Pilates"
(unless that's the name of a bat, Roy's not interested)
***
Well, fellow Weatherfield watchers, so ends another week. Many are finding the whole Becky story a little (how you say) hard to believe and unlike most Corrie stories which are generally a little more credible. However, on the bright side, it's great to see Evelyn reappear and add her wicked wit to the show. Thanks so much for the pleasure of your company and I hope you have a great week.
