i really hope when they eventually find out what damien platt has been upto, he gets his just desserts. i would think the baby is nicks and it would be good if david was left with nothing, they all turn their backs on him and his world comes tumbling down! :D
in the real world when nick finds out what david has been plotting he would knock seven shades of **** out of the mini platt, but this is corrie so who knows?

Tim should have taken Faye to Anna, explained he had to go away and made sure she was there. He should then have phoned Anna every day (at least) to make sure she was ok. It is entirely his fault in my opinion. He's the adult. He shouldn't have put it all on to Faye.
You are right but I just hate how Faye can never do wrong in Anna's eyes

I liked the scenes of Gail and Mary together nice to see two characters who rarely interact in scenes together and they were quite funny especially Mary as was Beth too

I've always assumed Simon was with Ken (?!) and Dierdre when he's not with Peter or Leanne, it's not like they live far away!
One more thing on the Faye thing, they asked her when was the last time she had a shower - surely she can shower herself by age 11! Did Tim wash her every morning?!

It's probably the case that she didn't bother to shower if no one told her to do so. It's seems realistic to me that she doesn't yet take responsibility for washing herself at age 11.

Can someone explain please what comment Paul made that was so racist?
Can someone explain please what comment Paul made that was so racist?
He said "play the whiteman", which I think he meant, play fair. But as I understand it is a racist comment implying some sort of white superiority over other races. I haven't heard the comment said for many years . I do think Paul should have apologised albeit I didn't think he meant any offence.Which, I suppose would mean no storyline which I guess is going to last 12 months.
Don't think so Paul will not be in Corrie in 12 months time
ok i don't know the term but i thought lloyd and jenna over reacted, paul should have just said sorry mate and let it be instead of harping on about his work problems and it was none of brian's beeswax oh and why was deirdre sitting with him
how was peter's till full when dennis and steve don't bet big cash and at last ken was mentioned many times tonight
i think katy was expecting ryan to apologise and want her back

I am not comfortable with this storyline.
He said it to Steve, no offence was meant.
Would they have LLoyd complain over a game of chess where white goes first over black.
Wikipedia says:
Play the white man is a term used in parts of England meaning to be decent and trustworthy in one's actions.[citation needed]
The origin of the phrase is obscure. The term carries with it a reference to an obligation which many English civil administrators in the latter years of the British Empire might have considered themselves to be under: that is, the obligation to uphold respect for their county abroad by maintaining personal standards of behaviour and fairness which darker-skinned native peoples could respect[citation needed]. The act of calling upon someone to remember his personal moral obligations in this way is expressed in Rudyard Kipling's poem The White Man's Burden. On the other hand, the racially neutral colour white has long been associated with pureness and virtue.
A similar expression in the United States is "That's mighty white of you", meaning, "Thank you for being fair". Among African Americans, this phrase is said in response to being patronized or told what to think.[1] [2]
It is also widely believed that the term 'Play the white man' comes from the days of black and white movies where, to differentiate between the groups of people, they put the 'goodies' in white and the 'baddies' in black - it had no relationship to the colour of their skins.
That is what I thought it meant ... not racist at all
parkerman
13-07-2013, 10:23
Of course it's a racist comment. The explanation you've given from Wikipedia was obviously written by a white person. The implication in the phrase is that you need to be white to play fair and that in Colonial days it was the Europeans who were playing fair and needed to show the indigenous how to be fair. In any case, whatever the actual origins of the phrase might be, can you not see why the phrase might appear racist to a black person and indeed be very offensive these days.. The modern implication is that only white people play fair, otherwise why use the phrase.
Explained like that, I can now, never thought about it like that before
I dont think the storyline is about racism at all. Its more about male pride. Paul made the off the cuff remark without thinking. He didnt mean it as offensive. Lloyd chose to take offence at it so Pauld should have apologised immediately. For Lloyd to call him a racist over 1 throwaway remark was a bit rich. Now the two of them have dug their heels in and the storywriters are making a huge issue out of it.
If I was to make a complaint of rascism every time I get called Paddy then i would be in court more often than Jeffrey Archer

I don't use the phrase myself but have heard it from a few in the military when there were a mixture of ethnics around and none of them ever got into any trouble either
I don't think Paul is a racist but the fact remains that the phrase he used IS racist, as explained eloquently by Parkerman above.
Lloyd is subject to frequent racist comments by people in the back of his cab, so he doesn't need to hear from his so--called friend - and in front of his family too. Paul should have apologised immediately.
Neither of them will back down now due to male pride.

Being called a Paddy is not the same thing as being told that only white people can play fair if you happen to be black.
I was always under the impression - and I am happy to be corrected - that if a comment is made, and the person hearing it finds it offensive, then it is an offence - whether it is racist, homophobic etc?
almost in the way the 'N' word when used by a white person is offensive, but acceptable when used by a black person? as it is the receivers perception?
Being called a Paddy is not the same thing as being told that only white people can play fair if you happen to be black.
Its still a racist remark granted not on the same scale as a coloured person being told to act the white man but its similar to someone being called a Paki or other such terms. Fortunately I am thick skinned and being called Paddy doesnt bother me. I am fortunate in working with a very mixed workforce so what may be seen as racist to some people is taken as banter by the supposed victims. Personally I feel it all depends on the manner in which the remark is made and wheter its designed to cause offence to someone. Lets face it there are folk who will go out of their way to be offended.
How many of us have talked about going for a Chinky when referring to a Chinese Carryout. We all have said it without realising that most Chinese folk find it very offensive yet its a very common term.

I think this racism SL is boring. Is that the best they can come up with?!
Lets face it there are folk who will go out of their way to be offended.
That is putting the blame on the victims. I'm glad you work somewhere where there is a lot of friendly banter, but that doesn't detract from the fact that a lot of people still suffer nasty racism and other bigotry on a daily basis. Why should they put up with it just so others can feel better about themselves by putting them down?
I would never want to cause offence, and would apologise immediately if I did so inadvertently. I'm totally bewildered that there are so many people who enjoy making offensive comments, or apologise for the people who do so.
I think that in real life Paul would have apologised immediately ... this is soapland and is meant to provide an exit storyline for a character so it will be padded out for interest sake

Fair enough but not everyone says they are going up the road to the Chinese Carry-out restaurant to purchase a meal for consumption off the premises. Its one of those word which was once in common usage and now is quite rightly seen as offensive. O can think of many other terms which were common in my adolescence which fit into that category and nice person as you undoubtedly are Norman I'm sure you have uttered them.

To be fair Paul wasn't directing his saying at Lloyd or Jenna he was saying it to Steve, Paul could have just say sorry to Lloyd and move along but then there would be no storyline

Actually i think that the episode of coronation street on friday 7/12/2013 was a disgrace. The script of the programme was not to highlight racism but to incite it instead. I find it a disgrace that such programmes highlight racism as if only white people are racists. I am born and bred in a highly populated area by ethnic 'minorities' and in fact a lot of my good friends are black and i assure you that a higher majority of black people are much more racist towards white people than the other way around, yet this is never highlighted. The press is just as guilty for inciting racism, in thier way they handle crime. For example if 2 white guys beat up a black guy it is reported as a racist attack, if 2 black guys beat up a white guy it is just assault, When such programmes use a saying such as 'play the white man' to portray white people as racists it is not helping racism but firing it up instead. When the character lloyd showed rage for over hearing that saying it overstated the impact it would have in reality. Black people constantly call each other 'nigger' but if a white person said it to a black friend people seem to be outraged, racism is not just inclusive to black people, it is appliable to everyone regardless of colour, race or religion. If the producer or script writer who created that scene in coronation street is a black person themselves then they should be sacked as it is apparent they are a racist or at least a person who does nothing to cure racism but incite it instead. The fact that the producers needed to find a old fashioned saying to portray racism only to highlight white people as racists is disgusting, maybe you should highlight black people blaming white people of today for slavery of 100's of years ago, if that isnt racist then you walk through life with your eyes closed

It is never highlighted in life either.. to me and possibly many others, it is only called Racism if it is a white person attacking a black person.. I have seen this on many occasion where black bus driver have been verbally abuse to white kids and nothing was done but the other way around and it is a race war.. Corrie just showed what is reflected in life so not badly written, true to life

The world has gone mad over Political Correctness.
Does anyone else find it ironic that whilst 99% of Paul's lines when he joined the show included the phrase "I'm so sorry," (usually directed to Eileen when his ailing wife was on the scene), he's now to be hung drawn and quartered for his inability to utter the phrase just one more time?

Lloyd seems to make Jenna out to be about 12 years old while she looks the same age as him
Just because black racism towards whites, and lots of other types of bigotry, exists, doesn't mean that what Paul said isn't racist (and yes, I agree that the "fat" Brenda remark was bigoted too). White racism towards black is more serious because of its historic connotations and because it's still endemic in large parts of our society.
They deliberately chose a phrase that many people would find only mild to non-existent to spark debate - which is just what it has done.
I'm frankly appalled that a phrase that suggests white supremacy has so many apologists. If it's politically correct to not want to cause offence then I'm glad to be PC. I want to live in a world without hate.
Problem I have is that a lot of the time I don't even realise that a word has become offensive, such as referring to another woman as lady

We all say words without realising that they may cause offence in these modern times. I cringe at some of the words my Dad comes out with when referring to coloured folks and people with disabilities. The problem is he does realise that these words are now offensive and the wayhe uses them he certainly does not mean any offence by them.

My granded was the same and I didn't feel offended because no harm was intended. I do however take grave offence at my uncle's intentional racism - it's so ugly.
The reason why I'm against Paul in this storyline is that he said something unintentionally racist but wouldn't apologise when Lloyd rightly spoke up.
Anyway, I'm quite enjoying this storyline because it's making me think, even though I think Paul is behaving out of character.
Me too. I was thinking Paul's exit would involve Karl. Not good, but a better story than this!
I was thinking Eileen's fears would prove to be correct and that he would be killed while at work. Glad that Eileen won't have to deal with that kind of heartache as she never seems to have any luck, but then at least the exit would have been half decent.
Problem I have is that a lot of the time I don't even realise that a word has become offensive, such as referring to another woman as lady
I didn't know this was offensive!! I always say to the kids "Say thank you to the lady" if a women in the shop gives them something for free

Yes, I was brought up like that and also my son. However, this is politically incorrect as the the woman in the shop, to stay with your example, is a woman, not a lady ... a lady would be unlikely to work in a shop but discuss the menu of the day with her housekeeper on the big estate. Lord, give me strength!!

Not seen Tyrone and Ruby for a while, what does he do now he doesn't have the garage?

how fast was the lorry going it couldn't stop and see nick's van?
Mandy is getting on my nerves as was the amount of times te word "baybeh" was said when Nick and David were in the van!
apart from that I quite enjoyed the episode. Beth and Kirk should get more screen time they are hilarious! and also Norris firing the paper boy! That was brilliant.

You're not supposed to drink the wine at a tasting - there's a bucket to spit it into!
I enjoyed the Nick and David confrontation, and the subsequent crash. Looking forward to seeing the aftermath now.

So thats the end of Mandy, off to a new life in "withy" ! She wasnt really a great character think they didnt really know how to use her. I cant see it being long before we forget that she was there altogether
Kirk Beth and Craig are brilliant! I hope we see more of Craig, for a youngstter he has got some really good comic timing! There were some great one liners last night that made it quite enjoyable.

Can we expect plenty of fights and snide remarks from Tina and Kylie now until Tina leaves? I feel Tina is being thrown into this storyline as she has nothing else to do until she leaves

Best way to inform the colleagues though without rumours and speculations that would usually go around like wildfire, I presume though that this was agreed by Hayley beforehand

I don't think Tim wants to take Sally out of the UK so no Paris for them :p
I liked Sally and Tim as a pairing initially, but now I am really going off him. Granted Anna and Owen are making it difficult for him to see Faye, but he seems to be bothering less to even try to get to see her. And fair enough if both parties don't want to do anything fancy, but Tim to me is just giving off can't be bothered vibes. Really feel for Sally as she has lowered her expectations to that of a casual relationship just to keep hold of him.
Beth - Why does she always have a necklace with a 'C' on it? Has been bothering me for a while now.
'C' for Craig, her son, maybe?

the end scene with roy looking at hayley singing was heart breaking and almost too much to bare. words cannot describe the performances of david and julie. it's going to be a tough time till january. i think we will all be a heap on the floor by then.
Loved Gloria trying bring Stella around by telling her how Hayley is making the most of things.
Tim :angry: Wish he would just tell her straight. If they don't share similar views over this then I don't see them working. It's strange but I'm also getting a bit annoyed with Sally.

Two really strong episodes last night. I loved the community pulling together for Roy's birthday, and how Hayley is determined to make the most of every day she has left. I actually like Sally and Tim together, and I think they would make an interesting pairing. I do like how they are both chalk and cheese, that's what is making their pairing so funny at the moment. Sally has always been a bit snobby and snooty, whilst Tim is really laid back and will settle for whatever. Sally trying to act all "casual" has been funny to watch.

How long until we see Stella and Dev get it on?
I found Roy and Hayley's scenes on Friday almost too unbearable to watch, especially as I was already feeling down. What perfect acting and writing!
I have to agree with Davey Wavey that I enjoy watching Sally and Tim together. They're polar opposites and that makes them entertaining to watch. I wish they'd stay together for the long term, though I doubt that will happen.
The only scenes I didn't enjoy in Friday's episodes were Jason and Eva :sick:

It is possible that Tim noticed Sally, like most women, has small feet. This enables her to get closer to the kitchen sink.

Yeah, I agree with you. I'm not saying that I find Tim's behaviour appropriate, just that I find his and Sally's relationship - especially her comic desperation to keep him - entertaining to watch.
It's slightly different from most dysfunctional soap relationships in that he's not treating her badly deliberately, it's more that he just hasn't got a clue how to maintain relationships. It's similar to how his and Faye's living together went so awry.
