I gave up trying to make any sense of this story several days ago. Trying to find some rational explanation for anything that's going on here is, in my humble opinion, like trying to make sense of Brexit and Donald Trump's victory.

Brexit is to make Britain Great Again .. Trump as president to make USA Great Again ...:DQuote:

Kate Oates probably believed the Maria/Caz storyline would help make Corrie great again - just as those who voted for Brexit and Trump believed about their respective countries. :wall:Quote:

Kate Oates giving Maria a leading storyline like this was a wrong move to me to begin with, the character is boring for a viewer to care and the actress very limited in her acting ability I would even say she has none :pQuote:

After basically not having any real storyline since the Liam Tony fiasco I'm glad Kate Oates is a fan of the character and finally giving her some great storylines.Quote:

As someone who's been a fan of Maria I'm just glad she's finally getting a long running storyline and some screan time. She hasn't had one since the Liam/Tony Saga and that was 7 years ago.

I agree the character deserves some decent screen time and I also liked her very much during the Liam/Tony saga, but unfortunately I find her current storyline virtually unwatchable. Plus I think putting her with the excrutiatingly dull and and wooden Aidan is a huge mistake.
This storyline revolves around her taking someone else's man again :thumbsdow I guess Maria has fans so enjoy her taking centre stage as I would prefer her well off the stage :pQuote:

Men can't be taken they are not property. This storyline is about her love life as most of the storyline on corrie are. Is it original? No. Am I enjoying it? yes:pQuote:

As if Maria isn't facing enough trouble being framed for the murder of Caz Hammond (Rhea Bailey), The Sun reports that her sham marriage will soon come back to haunt her as well.
The latest rumours have authorities taking action as Maria only married Argentine friend Pablo to help get him a visa, so he could be reunited with his British boyfriend.
That offence will apparently land Maria behind bars at least through the holidays - although she's likely to be released on good behaviour at some point in the New Year.
This won't be a departure for long-time cast member Samia Ghadie, who is expected to film prison scenes on a semi-regular basis for Coronation Street.
A representative for Corrie declined to confirm or deny these latest rumours when reached by Digital Spy.
Her character Maria is currently facing murder allegations after being framed for the death of Caz, who faked her own death in the ultimate revenge plot by Maria's former lodger and frenemy.

I thought she is meant to have a new romantic relationship by Christmas? Unless she falls for a prison warden :searchme:
She will be out for a little bit then back again
Yes she'll be out for a little bit then back in again because she'll be in for a little bit and then back out again....er....:confused:Quote:

In the morning, Maria snuggles down to watch TV with Liam but in her hungover state she falls asleep. Meanwhile Liam heads to the kitchen where he switches on a gas ring... Thankfully, Kirk returns to the flat and immediately notices the smell of gas.
In the Rovers, Kirk tears a strip off Adam, blaming him for plying Maria with drink. But, when Adam makes a disparaging remark about Maria, Aidan loses it and punches him in the face.
Maria takes Aidan back to her flat. As Aidan gazes into her eyes he admits he's fallen in love with her, will Maria reciprocate?
5. Maria's Judgement Day
Everyone gathers at Maria's flat, determined to celebrate Christmas with her before her court appearance.
When Eva finds out how Aidan punched Adam out of allegiance to Maria, she's proud of him and Aidan feels terrible.
Extracting himself from the party, Aidan heads to the factory where he texts Maria to join him. Promising Maria that he's going to finish with Eva, Aidan and Maria kiss passionately... Unaware that Johnny's seen everything! Is the game up?
The next morning, Maria heads to court... Will she be spending Christmas behind bars?

liam is lucky to have kirk as mommy worried about a bed partner
Maria only went out because Liam made it very clear he didn't want to spend any more time with her. Despite poor writing and years spent rarely showing Maria and Liam together (which I'm glad to say has recently been somewhat rectified), within the Corrie universe she's supposed to be a decent mother.Quote:

Aidan and Adam - both of whom are a pair of sleazebags who've made it very clear to Maria that they were using her for sex - are far more deserving of contempt than she is!
did maria even try make up with liam no instead out drinking and sleeping with adam
Yes, she did try repeatedly but Liam wanted to go to the school disco and then be with Kirk because he'd recently been forced to spend all his time with his mum.Quote:

I find it very strange that it's nearly always women who are condemned the most for having sex lives and not being perfect.
i just really dislike maria and don't think she deserves so much air time and storylines sorry maria fans
if i was locked away from my child i would wanna spend every minute with them as i could when i was out even if child hated me i keep trying

I am not a fan either but I think Maria has tried her best, taken time off work and was busy doing things with Liam. But any child would prefer to go to a school disco instead of being home with just mum, and Liam had probably been looking forward to the disco as well, surely a couple of hours with his friends does not make Maria a bad mother. Also, would Liam understand what it means for Maria to go to prison at his age?Quote:

I'd defend any female character from scathing comments stating that she should keep her knickers on etc - especially when the men involved are behaving worse and are escaping similar condemnation.
her and aidan are boring, adam only wants his jollies from her which she happy obliging
im surprised she hasn't bonked with david yet

Did she and David kiss before or was that David and Tracy? Was it Maria or Tracy who was with Nick and David around same time?Quote:

That was pretty bad though she still has a way to go to catch up with Peter burning the flat down around Simon while passed out drunk. :pQuote:
