[alan45]

Coronation Street's Maria Connor relies on best friend Marcus Dent for support as she faces a breast cancer scare next month.

The storyline begins as Maria (Samia Ghadie) seems distracted and short-tempered at work and with her loved ones.

When Marcus (Charlie Condou) decides to tackle the matter by asking Maria what's up, she finally confides in him by revealing that she has been referred to a clinic about a lump in her breast.

Maria adds that her appointment is that day, but she'd originally wanted to keep quiet about it until she knew what she was facing.

Marcus immediately insists on joining Maria as she faces the doctors, so they head off secretly without telling Jason or Aidan what is going on.

In the end, the tests are inconclusive and when the pair head back to the street, it's clear that Maria is terrified over what could lie ahead…

Monday - first episode

A bruised Tyrone tells Kirsty that he wants nothing to do with her as he leaves the house with Ruby. Later, Fiz advises Tyrone that he needs to take charge for Ruby's sake if nothing else. Soon afterwards, he returns to Number 9 and tells Kirsty that they can't carry on living together. He wants her out and he'll be keeping Ruby, although Kirsty can see her as much as she likes.

Kirsty begs Tyrone to reconsider, but he insists that he has to put himself and his baby first. Kirsty then turns nasty and she bites back, producing a document that means she's the one calling the shots… Tyrone is left reeling.

Meanwhile, David notices that Maria seems distracted while at work, and he reckons that she's doing the dirty behind Jason's back. Later, Jason is concerned when Maria snaps at him as he suggests that he should start moving his things in. Marcus takes the brave step to tackle Maria about what's up. He can't believe what she tells him and how she's managed to keep it to herself.

Elsewhere, Jenna and Lloyd meet at his flat. When Mandy turns up unexpectedly, it becomes clear that Jenna wants nothing to do with her mother. Lloyd is concerned, but agrees to her hiding in the bedroom while he tells Mandy that he hasn't seen his daughter. This goes well until Mandy clocks Jenna's coat on the sofa.

Also, when Mary wins a lavish holiday for two Norris is determined to be invited as her guest, David is embarrassed when he can't afford to buy Max new footie boots, while Paul plans a surprise party for Eileen - but does Eileen want any fuss?


Monday - second epidsode

Tyrone can't believe that Kirsty hasn't put his name on Ruby's birth certificate, or that she'd threaten him with never seeing his child again. Tyrone tells a shocked Fiz that Kirsty is threatening to take Ruby away from him and has made sure that he has no parental rights. Realising he doesn't have a leg to stand on, Tyrone goes home and tells Kirsty that she's right, they owe it to Ruby to work things out.

Tyrone explains that he's happy for Kirsty to stay, but he can't trust her to look after Ruby. He suggests that she sees a counsellor, returns to work and he becomes a stay-at-home dad. Kirsty agrees and gets her old job back. Tyrone then tells a furious Kevin that he needs a year off.

At the same time, Fiz can't believe Tyrone's news. She is dead against it, as she reckons he's being blackmailed by Kirsty. But will her words ring true with Tyrone?

Meanwhile, Maria explains to Marcus that she has been referred to a clinic about a lump in her breast and her appointment is that day. She wanted to keep quiet about it until she knew what she was facing. Marcus insists on coming to the hospital with her. After fobbing Aiden off and avoiding Jason, Maria and Marcus arrive at the clinic. The tests are inconclusive, and when they head back to the street, not even Marcus's informed encouragement about the potential prognosis can seem to lessen Maria's stark fear.

Elsewhere, Mandy demands answers from Lloyd - how could he be so cruel as to keep his meetings with Jenna secret when she has been worried sick? Jenna steps in, explaining that she asked Lloyd to keep quiet and that Mandy is a terrible mother. Mandy is inconsolable - she's raised Jenna and now it's Lloyd who has the relationship with her. Lloyd is gutted, but doesn't know what to do to help.

Also, Norris fumes when Mary offers the Croppers her first class flights, while David feels inadequate when Nick spoils Max with new football boots.

Wednesday
Maria is beside herself that she might have breast cancer. Marcus calls in work sick for Maria, although Kylie has her suspicions. At the same time, Jason gears up to move into the flat. However, Maria tells him that she wants to wait another week before he moves in, coming clean about her cancer fears.

Jason is hurt when Maria declines his offer to accompany her to hospital, insisting that she has Marcus for that. Is Maria having doubts about taking her relationship with Jason to the next level?

Meanwhile, Mandy appears at Street Cars, telling Lloyd that she's moving back to Nottingham. Lloyd offers her the spare room in his flat to give her more time to patch things up with Jenna and she reluctantly agrees. Later, Lloyd turns up with Jenna and it's clear that he has tricked them into seeing each other. Jenna is disgusted when she finds out that Mandy is going to live with Lloyd for a while, and accuses them both of carrying on from where they left off.

Elsewhere, Kirsty tells everyone at the factory how wonderful Tyrone is for the sacrifice he's making by allowing her to come back, and Fiz has to bite her tongue. Later, when Kirsty joins the factory girls for a drink in The Rovers, Fiz snaps at Kirsty - reminding her that she has a baby at home to look after. Kirsty is furious with Fiz, and when she returns home she tells Tyrone how Fiz had a go at her, but Tyrone keeps counsel.

Also today, Roy and Hayley head off for the sun leaving Anna in charge with Mary as her right-hand woman, while David is fed up with being the poor relation in the family.

Friday - first episode

It's the day of Maria's results, and she is beside herself with worry. Maria tells an annoyed David that she won't be in work again today. Soon afterwards, Jason wishes her luck as she sets off for the hospital.

With Marcus holding her hand, Maria receives news about the lump in her breast. Taking it in, an emotional Maria thanks Marcus for being such a good friend.

Realising that he needs to speak to Maria again, Jason decides to go to see her at her flat, where Maria is spilling her heart out to Marcus. As she tells Marcus that he's one of the most important people in her world, it's clear that their relationship is about to develop in a way neither of them could have expected…

Meanwhile, at the café, Anna tackles Mary about a Spanish night at the café, but is soon swept away by Mary's enthusiasm. As Mary's plans for her night get into full swing, over at the Bistro Nick's concerns grow when bookings are thin on the ground. Norris tells him that he has competition from Mary, who persuaded him to cancel his booking at the Bistro in favour of a 10% discount and free bottle of wine at the café's Spanish night.

Elsewhere, it's Ken's first governors meeting, and Brian is put out when Ken backs Wendy to oppose one of his proposals, which then is voted against. Later, Brian is all ears when Wendy makes Ken an offer he finds he can't bring himself to refuse, however much he should.

Also, tempers fray between Tyrone and Kevin, Lloyd persuades Mandy to go to dinner with him, while Eileen is ecstatic when she returns home to a surprise party.


Friday - second episode

Marcus and Maria pull back from their kiss when Jason rings the doorbell. Their shock is interrupted by a none-the-wiser Jason asking for news of Maria's hospital visit. Taking it in, Jason tells Maria to meet him to Eileen's party.

Alone again, Maria and Marcus try to fathom out what made them kiss, and are adamant that they both want to be with their other halves. They agree to forget it and move on, but they're both clearly rattled and are awkward later at Eileen's party.

Maria apologises to Jason and tells him that he should move in after all. Later, as Eileen's party winds down, Maria takes Jason back home and Marcus heads off clubbing with Aiden. But will Marcus and Maria really be able to forget what happened?

Meanwhile, the café is crammed as the Spanish night proves to be popular. Emily is even convinced that Roy would approve. Over the road, however, the Bistro is empty. Nick wants to see what all the fuss is about at the café and so he heads over. However, although Nick is annoyed at Mary, he can't help but be impressed by her efforts.

Elsewhere, over a drink, Ken reflects on how guilty he still feels about leaving Wendy high and dry all those years ago. She reiterates that it's all water under the bridge and gives him a gift - it's his birthday tomorrow and she hasn't forgotten. Ken is moved.

At the same time, Deirdre collars Brian about the governors meeting going on so long. When Brian pointedly says that Ken has probably been waylaid, something in his tone intrigues her. Later, when Ken gives his excuses for being late, he claims he was with Brian. Deirdre seethes - she knows he's lying!

Also, although they are rattling along with their new arrangement, tensions still bubble under the surface for Kirsty and Tyrone.

Coronation Street's Maria Connor seems to be pushing her boyfriend Jason Grimshaw away in tonight's (October 3) episode of the soap.

Struggling to cope with the fear that she may have cancer, Maria (Samia Ghadie) opens up to Jason by admitting that she doesn't want him to move into her flat until she knows what she is facing.

Jason (Ryan Thomas) completely understands Maria's decision, but can't help but feel hurt when he offers to accompany her to the hospital and she turns him down - insisting that she has Marcus for that.

Maria's excuse is that Marcus's medical background makes him the best person to be at her side, but beneath the surface it appears that she may be questioning her entire future with Jason…

Charlie Condouhas insisted that his Corrie character Marcus Dent remains gay despite his feelings for Maria Connor.

Condou believes that Marcus, who shocks himself when he shares a kiss with a woman this Friday, could have a unique bond with best friend Maria.

Exploring the aftermath in an interview with Soaplife, the actor said: "He doesn't understand why the kiss happened, but in his head because he's a gay man it must be just that they got carried away in the moment.

"As time goes on, though, he begins to realise there is more there and that makes it even more confusing for him because he starts to wonder who he is."

However, he added: "Marcus is gay and I don't believe that if things don't work out with Maria he will suddenly start fancying Michelle or Tina.

"This is about one particular person; there is something about Maria and their relationship and it has moved over into something else. That's what is so confusing for him."

Following Maria's breast cancer scare, the pair embrace in their flat before joining Eileen's surprise birthday party, where Marcus's boyfriend Aiden and Maria's boyfriend Jason are waiting.

Coronation Street airs these scenes this Friday at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.
