Coronation Street Catch Up: the Guncle Todd and Billy edition

a look back at last week on Canada's Coronation Street...

Phew!

Turns out that Colin is not the Son of Norris. Anyway, Colin and Moira have had a "conscious coupling" and are off and out of the show, leaving Norris back in the shop and Rita back in the flat (what was that story line all about anyway?)

Robert is at it again. His testicular troubles drive him to the gambling table where he promptly loses a ton of cash and puts the Bistro in jeopardy. Michelle doesn't know yet but she soon will.

On the somewhat predictable Phelan front, ol' Pat manages to convince Seb that Anna pushed him off the ladder. Of course Phelan also planted fake evidence so along come the cops to haul Anna away to jail. Not only that, but bail is refused as Anna is deemed a menace to society, mostly to window cleaners.

Jude's son is ill again and Mary is worried. Gemma meets her Prince Charming at a house party and loses a shoe. The prince (aka Henry, heir to the Newton and Ridley empire) turns up to sweep Gemma off her feet.

Over at Todd and Billy's, the news is grim.  Billy, as you recall, had a wild youth culminating in a gas station robbery and the getaway car was involved in a hit-and-run. Todd does a little digging and finds out that someone died in the hit-and-run. The victim was none other than Susan Barlow, mother of Adam, daughter of Ken, twin of Peter.  Billy is racked with guilt but just wait till the Barlow family finds out.

And now a few lines from the week that was:

Toyah to Gemma re: her lost shoe at the house party:
"the shoe is a metphor for hope"
(could you please repeat that in kebab shop lingo)

Summer comes up with a name for Todd and Billy combining gay with Uncle:

"Guncles"

(I prefer Unclay?)

Norris to Moira (who helped Colin in his quest for Norris' DNA):

"You stole my blood!"

(something to write about in her vampire diary)

Colin describes Moira in three words:
"Luminous. Loyal. Pre-Raphaelite"

(Are. You. Kidding?)
