your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
It's farewell to Big Jim McDonald (so it is).
Catch yourself up. The big (flawed) fella was in hospital and Steve almost visited him but then decided not to. Later, after learning that his Dad died, Steve was conflicted and upset. Jim did a lot of ill-advised and bad things (robbing a bank comes to mind) but still we'll miss him (so we will).
Jim's passing comes at about the same time as Cassie is planning to propose to Steve. She quickly aborts the idea and everyone keeps schtum about it - except Tracy who can't resist spilling the beans to Steve.
Would Steve really get married again?!!
Like Henery the 8th's widow in that Herman's Hermits' song, he's been married seven times before.
Who's in Steve's ex list?
Vicky (equestrian), Karen (nicknamed 'barren' by Tracy), Karen again, Becky (ex-con), Michelle (singer), Tracy (no comment) and Tracy again.
Can Steve really be ready for an eighth marriage? Even Henry VIII would say, "whoa yon knave, that be too many maidens for ye."
Elsewhere, congratulations to Carla and Lisa: it's a girl! (um...left on their doorstep).
Seems that Rob's lovechild (after he romanced a prison guard into springing him from jail) is left to Lisa and Carla while the baby's grandmother (who looks after the child) has surgery.
No questions asked. No calls to social services. It's all agreed to in a couple of minutes and - voila! - Carla and Lisa are new parents.
Over at the funeral home, things are decidedly... well... funereal.
George is being sued for being the recipient of a 10,000 pound inheritance from a former grateful (and dead) customer. And now his funeral business is getting a series of (fake) bad reviews (is Shuttleworth's on Trip Advisor?) George is losing business because of the bad publicity and, as a final insult, he is being investigated by the police.
Over at HM Norcross (slogan: most of our inmates know each other), visiting time is being overrun with Coronation Street folk. There's Sally with Brody, Shanice and Joanie visiting Lou. Then there's Carl (the creep) visiting Debbie and asking for more money.
Sally overhears Carl's request for cash and reports back to Ronnie.
Also at the jail, Lou gets a beating from a fellow inmate and tells Debbie to stay quiet. Later on, Debbie collapses in her cell, possibly from another mini stroke.
Over at Dev's, Bernie finally tells Dev the truth about her night with Mal. Dev is furious but later forgives Bernie. Meanwhile Bernie tells Detective Kit about the fact that Mal is stalking her. Kit intervenes by giving Mal a shove. However Mal then suffers a heart attack and is taken to hospital. The search is now on for Mal's assailant. Bernie is arrested and spends a night in jail but is released when her alibi checks out.
Jodie continues to act like some kind of pyscho Magpie, stealing items (Shona's wedding ring, a cutout of Bernie's face in a photo) and trying to ensure that David and Shona don't get any alone time. Seems to be working so far...
And now for some lines from the week that was:
Prison guard rebukes Debbie for an unnecessary request:
"It's prison not Downton Abbey"
(I could have sworn I saw Lord Grantham in the exercise yard)
Debbie to Sally re: Carl's demand for money:
"Keep your sticky beak out"
(it's not sticky)
Tracy decides to tell Steve about the near-miss proposal from Cassie:
"I don't mean to be a cow but..."
(stop right there!)
"Where did you get the baby from?"
(Okay, time for a little story about the birds and the bees)
Jim's ex (Liz) breaks the bad news to Steve about his Dad:
"He's dead (Jim)"
(Is that Liz or Dr. McCoy?)
Carla tells Sarah why she's not keen on her brother:
"He tried to kill me"
(just a sibling spat I'm sure)
Mary catches Steve and Cassie in a lip lock:
"Young love...well love"
(true)
Lisa to Kit re: resuming her work:
"I need to get back to what I do best"
(and what is that exactly?)
George to Christina:
"Did you hear about the undertaker who swindled widows?"(did he go into a bar with a priest and a rabbi?)
***
Well fellow Shuttleworth supporters, so ends another week. Poor George. Will he ever extricate himself from the lawsuit and police investigation? Why not just ignore Christina's advice and just refuse the inheritance? Doesn't look good for an undertaker to receive a cash gift from a deceased customer anyway. Oh well, thanks for stopping by and I do hope you have a great week.
