Viki Dankowska (IPA: [vɪ.kɪ dæn.kaʊ.skæ]) is a fictional character in the popular ITV1 soap opera Coronation Street. She is played by Wanda Opalinska and made her first appearance on 26 February 2007.[1]
There were worries that this storyline would be inappropriate after the Celebrity Big Brother racism controversy involving Shilpa Shetty and Jade Goody.[1]
[edit] Storylines
Viki first appeared as a new employee of Carla Connor at the Underworld factory. As she is a Polish immigrant, she was paid less than other employees, and they became concerned that their pay would be affected by this. She was bullied by Joanne Jackson and Kelly Crabtree, but Hayley Cropper secured her equal pay from Liam Connor, when the workers went on strike after Sean Tully was fired by his brother Paul.
