your one stop update on what happened last week on Canada's Coronation Street...
Farewell Summer! (the young woman, not the season... although in Canada you never know).
Yes, Rev. Billy, Paul and Todd (the three unwise men) said their tearful goodbyes to Summer as she left Weatherfield to travel to Boston to attend college. The sports savvy Billy encourages her to get tickets to see the Boston Keltics. Hopefully Summer will soon learn that crisps are chips, chips are French fries and that one can freely mention the words 'fanny pack' without being embarrassed.
However, Summer leaves the crowded flat of Billy and Paul at a difficult time as Paul's MND is progressing and he is now slurring his words and must take food in liquid form as he has difficulty swallowing.
Elsewhere Damon reluctantly participates in a robbery along with two lunkheads under orders from step brother Harvey. Damon believes that this one job will leave him and Sarah free to pursue a happy life but Sarah is appalled when she finds out about the planned crime and tells Damon to sling his hook.
Damon does his best to make the best of a bad situation. He prevents his two accomplices from killing a hapless security guard but is swiftly arrested by Weatherfield's finest (i.e. not Craig). Damon then pleads guilty to the crime. Once locked up, Harvey visits Damon in his cell and the two have a fight. The end result is that Harvey thinks that the two should reunite in business - just like the good old days (move over the Krays and Peaky Blinders).
Back at the flat, Sarah learns about Damon's actions and receives a phone call from the prison. Seems that Damon wants her to visit...
Steve is not doing well as he tries to return to the dating scene. Ken decides to accompany Stevie to the Chariot Square hotel bar (slogan: "every night is desperado night") to... um... "pull" (i.e. attract human females). To add insult to injury, it seems that only the fit nonagenarian (Ken) is able to attract any interest from the one woman in the bar.
Over at the Rovers, Daisy's Mum is back and wants a place to stay. This is a problem for Daisy as she and Jenny have said that Christina lent them the money which helped them buy the Rovers (rather than the truth which is that they stole Carla's money by hacking into Stephen Reid's secret account). When Ryan lets the cat out of the bag, Daisy is forced to tell her Mum the truth and Mummy dearest promises to stay quiet. Hmm. Wonder how long that will last?
Joseph has taken the Oakhill entrance exam and he's fairly confident that he did well (I guess it was more demanding than the test Rosie took back in the day). Both Chesney and Gemma seem to be okay with Glam Gran Linda paying for Joseph's expensive education.
And finally, Nina is worried about the legal costs that Roy might incur to defend himself.
