Emmerdale star Samantha Giles has finally lifted the lid on her recent comments surrounding the ongoing Meena Jutla storyline, while appearing at this evening’s Pride of Manchester awards.
The actress, who is best known for playing Bernice Blackstock in the soap, recently came under fire from fans after she told the Wonderbirds YouTube show that the storyline needed to end.
In controversial comments, when asked about the storyline which saw Mean Jutla claim the lives of several villagers, the star said: “It’s terrible, I’m in the show and I don’t really ever watch it, which is awful.
You know what it’s like, it’s that time when you’re either putting the kids to bed or you’re getting dinner or whatever, but I know that it’s very close to coming to a head." “I think it’s probably timely – lots of people have said that they’ve enjoyed it, but you know, come on, it’s time for it to end."
