Coronation Street's Maria Connor will betray her long-time boss Audrey Roberts by secretly setting up a rival business.
Maria makes a sly move when she starts discreetly offering hair appointments in her own flat, deliberately undercutting Audrey's prices to drum up interest.
The storyline begins next week, when Maria starts to become fed up with the way that she's being treated at the local hair salon.
When Beth Sutherland points out that Maria seems to be running the place, it gives her food for thought – especially when Audrey (Sue Nicholls) later announces that she's increasing her rent for the flat.
Maria eventually approaches Audrey with the idea of becoming her official business partner, only to be left disappointed when she turns her down.
Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria, told TV Times: "Maria thinks it's time her hard work was recognised and appreciated. So she asks if she can buy into the salon.
"But Audrey won't entertain the idea and wants to keep it in the family."
This proves to be the final straw for Maria, who later gives Angie Appleton a haircut at the salon flat.
Mischievous Tracy Barlow points out that Maria could make a killing if she decided to carry out the secret hair appointments more often – and Maria unexpectedly agrees that it's a great idea, even though she still works for Audrey.
Before long, Maria has a long list of new customers, which has the potential to cripple Audrey's business. But could Maria soon have another way to get back at Audrey when Claudia Colby (Rula Lenska) returns to the cobbles and makes her a surprising offer?

Coronation Street is going back to "old-school Corrie" with a new storyline involving Maria Connor.
Maria's plans to open her own salon stepped up a gear following the return of Rula Lenska as Claudia Colby, who offered her a chance to run one of her salons.
After years of working for Audrey Roberts, Maria snaps up the opportunity and with the financial backing of Carla Connor, it all looks like her dream is about to become a reality.

However, after Carla pulls out, Maria is back to square one.
"Rita overhears Maria saying that she needs a new investor," actress Samia Longchambon who plays her told The Express.
"Rita has come into a bit of money and doesn't know what to do with it, so she sees Maria's salon as a great opportunity.

"Maria is over-the-moon, because she's known Rita for years and Rita is happy to be a sleeping partner, so as far as Maria is concerned Rita isn't going to try to take over. It's the ideal scenario."
She added: "It feels like a proper old-school Corrie storyline, where the women are all bickering. I couldn't ask for more."

Ooops .. double posts suddenly appearing again???
Naive Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) is about to get herself into an awkward situation as she continues her hunt for romance in Coronation Street. After feeling so lonely that she resorted to a foot spa evening with Gail Rodwell (Helen Worth) and Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) – a situation which would be a dream for many – Maria sets up a profile on a dating site. What she doesn’t know is that she already has an admirer waiting in the wings to catch her eye in the form of Ali Neeson (James Burrows). As Liam is taken unwell, Ali cats Maria admiring glances while she waits for her son to be seen in the medical centre; something which doesn’t escape Liam’s notice. After setting up her profile, Maria is stunned by how filthy the responses are to her but when Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) checks her ad, she realises why and Maria is astonished to find out what ‘Netflix and Chill’ actually means. Deleting the app, Maria moans to Ali about her bad luck with romance and her non existant love life and he hints that the person she is looking for could be right under her nose – only for her to miss the less than subtle clue. Will Ali take the bill by the horns and reveal his feelings? Or will he miss his chance of romance with Maria?

Coronation Street's Maria Connor will start to doubt her boyfriend Gary Windass, after more warnings that he's not to be trusted.
Maria will soon learn that she's pregnant with Gary's baby, but she's given food for thought over their future when not everyone is happy for them.
As Gary (Mikey North) shows off a flash 4x4 on the cobbles, Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) is suspicious over how he could have afforded it. Gary is quick to insist that he acquired it during a house clearance.
Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) is also jealous when she spots Gary presenting Maria with the keys to the car. Discovering that Maria is pregnant, she soon tips off Ali Neeson (James Burrows) with the news.
Still regretting their recent break-up, Ali pays a visit to Maria and desperately tries to warn her that Gary is a loan shark. He explains that the furniture shop is just a front.
Maria is left with even more reason to worry when market trader Big Garth, who's setting up a Winter Wonderland nearby, spots her designer handbag.
Gary had previously assured Maria that the bag was fake, but Big Garth points out that it's genuine and would have cost him around £1,000.
When Maria demands an explanation from Gary, he insists that he isn't a loan shark. He admits to beating up Ryan Connor, but claims that it was only because Ryan stole from him. But how will Maria feel about this?
Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria, explained: "When Ali confronts her with all this new information about Gary being a loan shark, she can't help but believe Ali.
"Maria is also suspicious when Big Garth tells her that her bag is not a fake, because Gary told her it wasn't a real bag.
"She then questions Gary on how he got the money for all these things, but as soon as she does, Gary has got answers for her and tries to talk her round again."
Asked whether Maria would have had her happily-ever-after with Ali if he hadn't dumped her, Samia laughed: "Well, we are talking about Maria! The chances of that happening are very slim, but I do think they would have been very happy together. I do think it was working."

Maria and Ali ... again ??
maria loses the baby as she has measles which gary blames daniel as Bertie has
up duffy again whose daddy ali or gary, measles and miscarriage recovery fast, so time for nookie again
I am surprised Maria was so keen for sex with both Gary and Dr. Ali after losing the baby but as you mention I suppose we can expect another who is the daddy considering she cheated
ah but she is the street bike, you know what they say if you fall off, you have to get back on the bike :searchme:Quote:

so has Maria got a bun in the oven?:o it would be good to see her struggle with two children as a single mum, not have them taking away as Abi's were but just
to show how hard it actually is and no your not able to dress upto the 9's:angry:
On Lorraine this morning it was mentioned that Maria has had relationships with 31 men in the 20 years she has been in Corrie :o:
We?ve seen the car parking situation on the street getting worse recently, how interested is Maria in Sally?s crusade about the issue?
Maria?s not really interested, in fact she?s almost opposed to it as she thinks it will put customers off parking to come and use the salon and the barbers. It?s not until the problem directly impacts on her and Liam?s health that she takes up the mantle.
What happens with Liam?
He?s had a bit of a chesty cough, he?s playing football on the street then suddenly he collapses struggling to breath. He?s taken to hospital and it turns out he?s had an asthma attack. The ambulance can?t get down the street because of all the cars parked there which makes it even scarier. At the hospital the doctor says his asthma could have been caused by pollution and because there?s been an increase in traffic and pollution on the street Maria just sees red. She?s fuming and it becomes her mission to get rid of all the vehicles causing the heavy pollution on the street.
What happens with the Underworld van?
Maria decides it?s a pollutant and needs to be off the street, she just loses it and smashes up the van with a crowbar. It was great fun to film, what other jobs are there where you get to let rip with a crowbar! She certainly doesn?t do things by halves.
What goes through her head when she sees Liam struggling to breathe?
She doesn?t know what?s going on, she just sees him gasping for air, struggling to breath and it?s terrifying. She knows he?s been a bit unwell but she just thought it was a chest infection so this really panics her.
Do you enjoy playing this feistier side of Maria?
Yes it?s great to see feisty Maria back, we haven?t seen her for a while. It?s really fun and it?s a different side to her that we haven?t seen before, she?s usually fighting over a man but this time she?s fighting for her son and she?s definitely prepared to play the over protective parent.
And is it nice to work with Tina again? Do you think there?s still unfinished business with the pair over Gary?
It?s lovely to work with Tina again as we haven?t done much together for a while. I think Maria will always have half an eye on Sarah but they?re also sort of like family with Maria having worked with Audrey and David for so long. It?s a complex relationship.
Talking of complex relationships, how are Maria and Gary getting on?
I do think they really love each other but it?s definitely a flawed relationship. They?ve got this history together now though where Maria knows some of his darkest secrets so they?re kind of in it together like Bonnie and Clyde. She does love him but it?s definitely complicated.
Going forward, how will Maria cope with Liam?s condition?
She has to learn all about managing his condition, he needs inhalers, the prospect of another asthma attack is scary and Maria?s taking it really seriously. Our research team have worked alongside Asthma UK so we?ve had loats of advice on what Maria would need to do to support Liam.

Samia Longchambon has played Maria on Coronation Street for more than 20 years.
The star, who has been at the centre of some of the soap's most dramatic storylines, will take a break from the cobbles as she joins a completely different ITV programme.
The 40-year-old has been confirmed as one of the eight famous faces who will appear in the third series of Cooking With The Stars.
Emma Willis and Tom Allen return as hosts presiding over all the action as eight celebrities are paired with professional chefs who will mentor them, in a bid to transform them from amateur to expert in a matter of weeks. The six-part cooking competition will air this summer on ITV and ITVX.
Joining Samia on the show are Jason Watkins, Chris Eubank, Joanna Page, Peter Andre, Matt Willis, Claire Richards and Indiyah Polack. Throughout the series the celebrities will be guided by their Chef Mentor as they attempt to create the winning dish in a series of intense Cooking Battles
The loser of each Battle will then have to fight for their place in the competition in the Cook Off, as they're tasked with creating a dish they?ve never seen before. Judged blind by all the chefs there is the possibility that the losing celebrity could be sent home by their own Chef Mentor.
But who can handle the heat and go all the way to the end to become the culinary champion of this exciting cooking competition?
