Polish Plot Risks Row For Corrie
POLISH PLOT RISKS ROW FOR CORRIE
CORRIE bosses are bracing themselves for a Celebrity Big Brother style backlash over a storyline about a bullied foreign worker.
Actress Wanda Opalinska will play Polish immigrant Vicki, who gets a job at the Underworld factory in the ITV soap.
But Kelly and Joanne sabotage her sewing machine and bitch about the "foreign invasion".
And bosses Liam and Paul laugh about paying "little Polish pay packets".
"There will be scenes where viewers think she is being picked on because of where she is from.
Personally I think this will be a great storyline. It shows what is actually going on in many parts of Britain today. There is rarely a day on our local news when there is not a report of racism against these workers coming in from Eastern Europe. In most cases they are hard workers doing jobs locals dont want for a much smaller wage.
