Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley)

It's just a general statement I wanted to get off my chest

That's being disingenuous to put it mildly.

I've seen LOTS of ugly comments on other sites complaining about the "PC brigade", "faux outrage" and people being overly sensitive about the Kunta Kinte joke. In fact I'd say that's the majority opinion I've seen being expressed. Your post that people don't have the right to dictate who should be offended is relevant in that context.

However, nobody here has said or even hinted at anything so crass. Pointedly starting your post with "a lot of people are saying it's not racist" is directing it at those of us who said that on this site. Firstly, I qualified my opinion by saying I may not be the best person to make the judgement that it wasn't racist, and secondly I admitted it's an emotive and politically sensitive subject. Thirdly, I'd like to point out that while I'm white, my daughter and granddaughter have black/slave ancestry, so I'm sensitive to racism because it directly affects them.

Lastly, by qualifying your post with "im not slamming anyone, im just putting it out there. no hate" you're admitting that your words could be seen as doing just that!

Let's see what the outcome of the complaint will be and leave it at that for now

I'm happy to let Ofcom make the decision about whether the joke was racist or not, but I'll continue to defend myself if I feel it necessary.

when i said alot of people i was refering to the large ammount of comments on social media saying how the world is just too overly sensitive. So why am i saying it here instead of social media you may ask? well on fb nowdays i cant seem to make comments on anything serious without being trolled and made to feel stupid. its honestly something ive thought about for years and happens to relate to this topic for obvious reasons. i know how silly it is to be too anxious about making a comment on social media but i just need to learn to to care less about critisism especially when im talking about something i passionatly believe. and in regard to saying im not hatingbon ajyone here or slamming anyone on here. well i seem to say that alot when stating an opinion. its anxiety related i suppose.

Thanks for clearing that up - I feel a lot better.

I apologise if I sounded harsh. I know all about anxiety believe me - this misunderstanding has made me feel very anxious all day!

Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley has been spilling the gossip on the outcome of the Eva/Aidan/Maria love triangle - revealing that the plot will run all the way through to next spring.

Catherine's character Eva Price has no idea that her boyfriend Aidan recently betrayed her by sleeping with Maria Connor - and fans should prepare for some "explosive" scenes ahead, apparently.

"I'm getting scripts and my toes are curling. It's getting so cringeworthy," Catherine said on This Morning today (September 28).

"Eva lost Kylie [Platt] and she was her best friend and she's sort of hoping for that with Maria now, all the while not knowing what's gone on between Maria and Aidan."

And when asked if she has filmed the scenes where Eva learns the truth yet, Cath said: "No, I can't wait. It's a slow burner. It'll probably be in the New Year and it goes right through into the spring."

We can't wait, either! I can wait if it improves the script

Great another saga being dragged on

its so annoying how the storylines that should be long (like health ones) are short. then the annoying affair storylines drag on for ages.
