Coronation Street spoiler: Maria Connor's dramatic return as she is released from prison on tag

Will her early release expose her affair with Aidan?

She was supposed to endure a year long stint inside for arranging a sham marriage, but producers have brought back the Corrie favourite earlier than planned.

Actress Samia Longchambon was spotted wearing a fetching ankle tag as she filmed scenes for Maria's dramatic return.

Glamorous Maria doesn't look like a woman who's just spent two months behind bars as she struts down the street in high heels.

Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward) drives alongside in his blue American muscle car as he tries to get her to jump inside.

After a heated discussion she appears to reluctantly get in to join her former lover.

Sparks are set to fly when Maria returns to the cobbles after just two months away with her affair with Aidan possibly being exposed to poor Eva (Catherine Tyldesley).

Aidan declared his love to Maria before she went to jail on Christmas Eve after pleading guilty to marrying Argentinian friend Pablo so he could enter the country.

She made the confession while being questioned by police when Caz Hammond disappeared and she was framed for murder, with the judge deciding to make an example of her.

Shayne Ward and Catherine Tyldesley recently signed new year long contracts to stay on the show, as producers line up an explosive storyline for the pair.

Will Aidan and Maria rekindle their romance when she returns to the Street?

If i had an electronic taq i would be wearing something that covered it up!

[Perdita]

I suspect this was done on purpose to show off the tag in case some don´t understand why she is out of prison much earlier than she should

[LouiseP]

Couldn't that have been mentioned in the dialogue? I can't imagine that someone as vain as Maria would want that to be shown off.
