Maria Connor Sutherland (Samia Smith)

the storyline is boring me to tears. maria is a sap, and i can't stand her character. booo!

[Perdita]

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

[Abbie]

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

[*-Rooney-*]

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

wow never really saw that coming

Me neither!!

I do find it a little hard to believe to be honest, as if Maria knows Tony paid to have Liam killed, why would she suddenly take pity on him just cos he regrets it?
Seems to contradict her actions of late?

[Perdita]

I think she suspects he paid somebody to kill Liam, she can't know as she has no evidence so far, has she?

No idea personally, just going by what it says in this spolier ^^^
