Samia Smith (Maria Connor, Corrie)
Coronation Street's Maria Connor - played by 27-year-old Samia Smith - has had quite the year. Shortly after the discovery that she was pregnant with Liam's (Rob-James Collier) child in October, Tony Gordon (Gray O'Brien) murdered her husband in cold blood upon the discovery of his adultery with his wife Carla (Alison King). Maria learned the truth about Liam and Carla's affair on the day of Tony and Carla's wedding in December and quite rightly presumed that Tony was behind Liam's death. After months of scratching, punching, car incidents and daubing his walls (and car) with paint, an obsessive Maria finally backed off. Since that moment by Liam's grave, Tony and Maria have become closer than ever, and in a fortnight's time, they seal their relationship with a kiss. What are Samia's thoughts about one of Corrie's most bizarre and creepy relationships of recent years? We gave her a call to find out.

Samia Smith on Liam, Helen and Carla
Last week, I caught up with the lovely Samia Smith, who plays Coronation Street's new mum Maria Connor, to chat about her über-creepy relationship with Weatherfield's resident adult psycho Tony Gordon (Gray O'Brien) - David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) being the the youngest unhinged resident.
