Dishonourable discharge it would have been then ... I really hope she leaves because I hope the scam with the burglar comes to light and then she will go to jail for hopefully a long time

Coronation Street is apologising for a line of dialogue that many viewers called racially-insensitive.
During Monday's (August 29) episode, Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) made a rather unfortunate reference to the civil rights miniseries Roots and its main character Kunta Kinte - a slave - during a visit to Audrey Roberts' salon.
"I have more roots than Kunta Kinte," Eva complains, adding: "No idea who that is... just something my mum used to say."
Many views understandably found such a flippant reference to Roots upsetting:
The writers of Coronation Street did not just make one of thier characters say "I've got more roots than kunte kinte, whoever that is" SMH 😕

Why are Coronation Street writers trying to be controversial with the Kunte / Roots comment? This will NOT end well

In response to fan complaints, an ITV spokesperson told the Manchester Evening News: "We apologise if this dialogue has caused offence."

I am finding Liz annoying at the moment and have no interest in Caz's storyline with Maria, I only feel sorry for little Liam and Ozzy having to live with them two
Todd and Tim on to Phelan but part of me wants to see Eileen ripped off

Liz is talking sense and has the right to voice her opinion, but she's annoying and unsympathetic because of the aggressive manner in which she harangues Steve.
Unfortunately it's actually Jason who's being ripped off at the moment, but I do wonder if Phelan will try to get his hands on Eileen's house/money at some point? Perhaps he could get her to invest by taking out a second mortgage, thereby putting her in danger of losing her home?
Yes, Caz actually used the words "court marial" which at least clears up any lingering doubt about the matter.
I was thinking whilst watching Corrie last night that the actress who plays Caz is quite poor and speaks in a monotone, so it's no wonder quite a few of us missed her comments about leaving the army the other day. Speaking for myself I think I must have zoned out for a few moments...

Why isn't Michelle conveniently outside the door when Steve and Liz are going on about Leanne and the baby, then again I'm surprised they can't be heard in the street with the volume Steve speaks at.

That's what I thought. They are talking in very clear sentences....not in even some sort of code
