Speaking in January, Coronation Street's producer Stuart Blackburn explained: "Maria's world is going to be ripped apart - completely ripped apart. She's a woman on the edge of a mental breakdown, a nervous breakdown."
In an interview with Love Sunday magazine at the weekend, Ghadie added: "She's going to change a lot and she goes a bit darker. She gets bitter and causes trouble for people you wouldn't expect her to.
"I'm a bit worried people aren't going to like her. She's a bit disturbed and is craving attention. So watch this space."

Tyrone and Maria - Coronation Street - ITV
More than anything, I think Maria wants to be loved. She sees Tyrone and Fiz together and it’s just a reminder of what she doesn’t have - what she’s lost.
– Samia Ghadie, who plays Maria
Later, Maria texts Tyrone to apologise, but because Tyrone doesn’t have her new mobile number, he automatically thinks it’s from the newly released Kirsty and is terrified.
Turning to Maria for support, she feels needed and decides to let him carry on thinking it’s Kirsty…

"Maira wants him to need her" says Samia, "And because Tyrone doesn’t think he can lean on Fiz he turns to Maria for support."
"It’s twisted but Maria feels wanted by Tyrone and because of that she finds it difficult to stop pretending to be Kirsty."
Will Maria get caught out? Or will she come to her senses before any more damage is done?
Coronation Street star Samia Ghadie has confirmed that her character Maria Connor will be the culprit behind Tyrone Dobbs's mystery texts.
As previously reported, Tyrone will be left fearful when he hears that Kirsty is now a free woman again, and then starts receiving a number of text messages signed off as "K".
However, Ghadie has confirmed on the official Coronation Street website that Maria will be the person responsible.
The story kicks off after an increasingly vulnerable Maria starts to develop feelings for Tyrone once again, as she struggles to cope with her split from Marcus Dent.
After Tyrone lends Maria support following a confrontation with Todd, she misreads the signs and attempts to kiss him.
Later, Maria texts Tyrone to apologise, but Tyrone doesn't have her new mobile number and automatically thinks it's from the newly released Kirsty.

However, when Tyrone confides in Maria over his fears, she is happy to feel needed by him and doesn't set him straight, leaving him to believe Kirsty is back on the scene.
Ghadie said: "Maria wants him to need her. And because Tyrone doesn't think he can lean on Fiz he turns to Maria for support.
"It's twisted but Maria feels wanted by Tyrone and because of that she finds it difficult to stop pretending to be Kirsty."

It was revealed yesterday (April 7) that Maria (Samia Ghadie) will leave Tyrone (Alan Halsall) terrified when she sends him a number of text messages pretending to be his violent ex-fiancée Kirsty Soames, who has been released from prison.
Maria's devious actions are part of a plan to grow closer to Tyrone as he leans on her for support throughout the ordeal, but her plan comes under threat when David Platt becomes the first person to uncover her secret.
However, the Daily Star reports that Tyrone and his partner Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine) will discover the truth when he rings the number of his stalker and realises that the messages have been sent from Maria's new phone.
Feeling completely betrayed, Tyrone confronts Maria over her actions, before calling the police and reporting her.
Coronation Street airs the start of the texting storyline next week.
Still find it strange that she is kirk's sister. You hardly ever see them together. Only just recently.
he is funny and likeable and she is notQuote:

Coronation Street star Samia Ghadie has warned that her character Maria Connor will have "a complete meltdown" when her ruthless deception is finally revealed. If only she could act :wall:
Maria's behaviour has taken a dark turn in recent weeks as she has been secretly terrorising Tyrone Dobbs with text messages pretending to be his violent ex Kirsty Soames.
Twisted Maria is sending the texts so that she can 'comfort' Tyrone (Alan Halsall) throughout the ordeal and steal him away from his partner Fiz Stape. However, the game is up for Maria later this month when Tyrone and Fiz finally realise what she is up to.
The reveal moment takes place when the police tell Fiz that Kirsty is abroad and is definitely not the person sending the texts. When Fiz then phones the 'Kirsty' number to investigate further, Tyrone is with Maria and answers the call, which leads to the truth coming out at last.
Ghadie told All About Soap: "Maria has just declared her love for him, so she has a complete meltdown when Tyrone discovers it was her sending the texts. Tyrone is quite aggressive, which is unlike him. The police get involved and it's just a very dark time for Maria.
"She says she did it because she loves him, and that makes no sense to anyone else. She's not in a good place mentally, so what would be weird behaviour for others just seems normal to Maria."
When Tyrone and Fiz decide to call in the police, viewers will be left to wonder how far they will pursue the case against their former friend.
Jennie McAlpine, who plays Fiz, added: "Fiz and Tyrone are caring people and they have a lot of history with Maria, so I hope they do forgive her. But I don't think Fiz could ever trust her again."
Coronation Street airs the Maria reveal on Monday, May 19 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
Coronation Street's Maria Connor will decide to take time out from the cobbles after her texting shame is revealed. :cheer:
After weeks of manipulative behaviour, the game is finally up for Maria next week when Tyrone Dobbs and Fiz Stape learn that she is the real culprit behind the recent 'Kirsty' texts.
Shocked that Maria is the one who has been terrorising them in recent weeks, Tyrone and Fiz react angrily and report her to the police.
Samia Ghadie, who plays Maria, commented: "Maria is terrified when they report her to the police, but she's also terrified by what she's done.
"She's basically had a nervous breakdown, she's not herself and I think it's a result of what's happened over the past few years."
With Maria facing a backlash over her actions, her brother Kirk steps in by urging Tyrone and Fiz to drop the charges.

Kirk also convinces Maria to visit their parents in Cyprus for a while, recognising that she needs a break to get herself back to normal again.
Ghadie added: "She's completely lost the plot and that's why she decides to go away for a while. She just needs to get away from Weatherfield and get back to being Maria.
"I think a break will do her the world of good. She needs to get away and let the dust settle with Tyrone and Fiz, and then try and start again."
Coronation Street airs these scenes next week on ITV.
Lets hope it is a nice long break :thumbsup:
wish she would take a long long long break from the show, miserable awful character dull as dishwater and her push with luke makes no sense
The way she talks gets on my nerves almost as bad as Fiz
I really liked Maria during the Tony Gordon storyline (when everyone thought she was mad because she believed he killed Liam, but then she had a relationship with him - as you do). She hasn't had anything interesting to do since, though, so has become a dull character.
I have never taken to the character, for some reason, never missed her when she was away for maternity leave or just not being used much in storylines. The so-called attempted rape that never was in the storyline with Tony Gordon did not help either ..
her acting is so wooden
I agree she's not the strongest actor, but I think she's a lot better than some (Kate Ford for example).Quote:

Kate Ford is a better Tracy than the first actress that played Tracy. Where do they find these people?
Kate Ford has got good comic timing but I think she's a worse actress than Samia (who's storylines with Tony Gordon and, especially, her tragic stillbirth impressed me). Kate Ford has never impressed me! In fact, her attempt at weeping and wailing ruined the wedding episodes for me.
I think Maria needs another direction rather than chasing her latest love interest.
I agree Dazzle. I think Kate Ford is hopeless. Mind you, I know Alan was always very impressed with her.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
She was Alan's favourite character, if I remember correctly. Well...maybe second favourite after Peggy Mitchell! :DQuote:
