the storyline is boring me to tears. maria is a sap, and i can't stand her character. booo!
I like the storyline, the acting ability leaves a bit to be desired and I wish that Maria and Rosie would not have those irritating voices, shrieking their way through their scripts. I know they can't help it but it just frustrates me to say the least :angry:
Im loving it, I mean of course they think shes mad the way she is, but ite great and it will be good when it all comes out in the end
I mean you seriously cant just leave it how it was, it would be boring if they had
i think samia is doing a great job at acting the mad hysterical raving widow at the moment,
GRIEVING Maria Connor calls a truce with her husband’s killer after discovering he is on the brink of a breakdown.
Maria, who has been hell-bent on nailing Tony Gordon for arranging Liam’s death, is stunned to discover he has plunged into depression.
Tony – played by Gray O’Brien, 40 – hits the bottle when wife Carla (Alison King, 35) leaves him after becoming suspicious about his involvement in Liam’s death.
In scenes to be screened next month Maria (Samia Smith, 25) turns up at the grave on the day she and Liam would have celebrated their first wedding anniversary.
As she changes the flowers and gently places a picture from the latest scan of their unborn baby onto the grave, she lovingly whispers to Liam: “Happy wedding anniversary darling.”
But then she becomes freaked out when Tony appears behind her in a drunken and dishevelled state.
He is genuinely apologetic that he has disturbed Maria at the grave and tells her: “I’m really sorry Maria. I thought you’d have been and gone by now. I just wanted to pay my respects.
“I am so sorry Maria‚ for all of us. You two should be having a candlelit dinner celebrating 12 great months together.
“As God is my witness Maria, I really wish Liam was alive and kicking and your baby had a father.
“I wish that Carla had loved me instead of loving Liam. I’d have even settled for being third best.”
Maria can see Tony is sincere and as they stand together by Liam’s grave she says: “I can picture him in there you know.
“His perfect little face, his hands folded across his chest, that gorgeous kink in his hair and that cute little mole on his back.”
Tony offers to look after Maria and her baby financially, even though she knows he paid for Liam to be killed in a hit-and-run.
A soap insider said: “The thawing of the relationship between Maria and Tony will be another intriguing twist in the continuing saga of justice for Liam.
“Tony’s feelings of guilt and remorse will also get worse as it fully sinks in just how much hurt and heartache he’s caused by having Liam killed.”
wow never really saw that coming
Me neither!!Quote:

Seems to contradict her actions of late?
I think she suspects he paid somebody to kill Liam, she can't know as she has no evidence so far, has she?
:searchme: No idea personally, just going by what it says in this spolier ^^^Quote:

Maria , I don't get her. She' sure Tony was behind Liam's death, she sees Carla bolting from Tony. The way she has been going on, the first thing that should have crossed her mind when she seen Carla doing a runner, was, has Carla finally found out that Tony is the evil B's that she's been telling everyone for months.
No, see she's Carla fleeing and now its poor Tony :searchme: If anything, that should have confirmed what she has been shouting from the roof tops all this time. And should be going round asking all WHY DID CARLA FLEE from Tony!
Excuse me but why have you posted this as a spoiler:searchme:
She went straight round to tony and asked why carla left, he told its cause shes still in love with liam always has been, why would maria think hes lying, she saw the kiss on rosie phone.
i actually liked maria and tony scenes tonight!
I'm a hypocrit as such.. cos I agree with Walsh. Yet I like the idea of Tony and Maria.. I'm one of those weird people who love weird pairings. I'm looking forward to Corrie.. and I am lately have not looked forward to it.
incase it ends up including spoilers?Quote:

Always knew these psychics talked crap :rotfl:
Coronation Street star Samia Smith has admitted that she feels "drained" following her recent depressing plotlines.
The actress's alter-ego Maria Connor gave birth to a lifeless baby boy after six months of pregnancy in early 2008. Later in the year, she faced further heartbreak when her husband Liam (Rob James-Collier) was killed.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Smith revealed: "It's been a good 18 months of solid misery. It's quite draining really, having to think really depressing thoughts for 12 hours a day, all week.
"I can't muck about in the green room like I used to, I don't have the energy to. I've found that it's better to just sit in my dressing room and read a book and be quiet for a while. I've become a bit of a hermit."
Discussing the impact on her social life, she added: "I'm doing this all the time, and at weekends I'm really tired. Luckily I've got good friends, who understand. I have to try to smile a lot in my real life. I put lots of loud music on in the car on the way home and then pour myself a big glass of wine."
Smith has previously insisted that she was pleased to adopt a "grim" new look for the storylines.
She is not feeling as drained as I do when I watch her whining, her character is terrible
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.

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.

When is she leaving?
I presume once she finds out about Tony she will flee to Liam's parents or to her own parents
She will be leaving in November. You are probably right, she is either going to Ireland or Cyprus. Would be nice if she went to her parents for a change rather than Ireland again seeing her parents have not seen their grandson yet.
if she finds out about tony that is, either way i dont think we'll find out where her destiniation is.:)Quote:

Coronation Street actress Samia Smith has given birth to a baby girl.
The 27-year-old and husband Matt welcomed their first child Freya into the world this morning. She weighed 7lbs 2oz.
A show spokesperson this afternoon said: "Samia and Matt are delighted and everyone at Coronation Street is thrilled by the latest arrival to the Corrie family."
Smith - who plays Maria Connor in the ITV soap - became the tenth Weatherfield actor to announce that they were expecting within 18 months. Others included Julia Haworth (Claire Peacock), Andrew Whyment (Kirk Sutherland), Ryan Thomas (Jason Grimshaw), Alison King (Carla Gordon), Jack P Shepherd (David Platt) and Jane Danson (Leanne Battersby).
More recently, Graeme Hawley (John Stape) and Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald) became fathers for the first and second time respectively.

congrats to her and her husband
AWW congrats samia and husband matt !!!
Cogratulations to Samia and Matt. Laurel from Emmerdale had a baby girl today as well.
So how long is she off on maternity leave for?
Spring 2010, so probably 6 months.
That's ages I can be honest and say I never took to her character at first but now she has grown on me a little.
Still not like her much, I think it is her voice that is putting me off, she whines and whinges too much
She does have that whinging kind of voice and at times she acts much younger then her years
i like maria lots, i dont think she whinges at all, i know the actress has a strong accent that makes her pronouciation of words sound funny but it doesn't bother me. I'll miss her when shes away but at least samia is spending time looking after baby freya - what a beautiful name.
I have never turned on and watched her scenes without her whinning about something whether it be good or bad. I don't mind the actress but it has been nice to see her finally in a proper storyline for once.
