Caz (Rhea Bailey)

Things are about to heat up on Coronation Street after it was revealed that Caz Hammond will be involved in a shock plot twist with Maria Connor.

As the Sunday People reports, Caz will become obsessed with Maria over the coming months, and try to kiss her as part of a surprising new storyline.

Maria will be forced to dodge the kiss from the army officer later this year.

She will then open up to Audrey Roberts about Caz's obsession with her.

Samia Ghadie, who plays Maria, has previously hinted at an exciting but emotional new story for her character - could this be it?

Why is Caz still staying around if Kate don't want her back, is she gone completely from the army?

Maybe she had a dishonerable discharge from the Army off-screen as the last I remember was she was awaiting a Court Martial for assaulting another female ... the whole Army bit is so badly and incorrectly written I can´t take to Caz either and as far as I am concerned she could go the sooner, the better

It's just like the way they have written about Sally and the Council. They obviously do no research at all and just make it all up.

I think she will blackmail all parties soon

Coronation Street's Caz Hammond hatches her most twisted plan yet next week as she uses Maria Connor's terror to her own advantage.

At the weekend, we revealed shocking new spoiler pictures showing Maria (Samia Ghadie) being attacked in her own home when she stumbles across a burglar.

The incident leaves Maria with a nasty injury when she falls and hits her head as the intruder flees, but there's a lucky coincidence (or is it a coincidence?) when Caz soon pops up and rescues her.

Caz deals with the situation perfectly as she tends to Maria's wound and calls the police to report the burglary, then agrees to stay over for the night to keep an eye on Maria.

Despite Caz's caring attitude, Maria makes it very clear the next morning that it's not a permanent arrangement and she expects her to leave again - not wanting any more hassle with Kate.

Desperate not to be left homeless again, Caz then comes up with a way to terrorise Maria by making a number of creepy silent phone calls to her.

As Maria realises that she could still be in danger, will she invite crafty Caz to stay for longer to 'protect' her?

Rhea Bailey, who plays Caz, revealed: "Caz is just grateful that she can be there to mop up the aftermath and be a shoulder to cry on for Maria. In some twisted way, I think Caz feels like the hero.

"She just happened to be around the Street when Maria was burgled. She is sad that this meant Maria had to get hurt, but she's secretly really happy that she can be around and help Maria get over this."

She continued: "Caz makes a few silent phone calls because that's the only thing she can think to do. If Maria is scared, then she will need Caz to stay even more.

"I don't think Caz feels guilty about it at all - she's in survival mode. Caz knows she's seconds away from being back out on the street again and having nobody, so she thinks she has to do what she has to do to survive. I also think because Maria isn't actually in danger, she thinks it's okay because she's faking it all! Caz just keeps justifying it to herself."

Well, Maria did do pretty much the same thing to Tyrone Dobbs once...

But what does Caz actually want from Maria, aside from a roof over her head? It's already been revealed that Caz will try to kiss Maria in an upcoming storyline, so could she be developing true feelings for her?

Rhea explained: "It starts off just as friendship and almost as a need to be part of something - a part of Maria's family perhaps. She felt she was part of something in the Army and now she doesn't have that anymore. She is searching for that again.

"At first she wants to be part of Maria and Liam's unit, but then eventually she develops feelings for Maria. It's really sad for Caz when you think about the root of her behaviour. She's not just a 'baddie'. Her behaviour comes from her need to have a family."

I doubt Maria will return her feelings - though she did say she was off men recently...

[Perdita]

Caz is very good at manipulation and will try anything to stay on Coronation Street ... her army career evidently forgotten about
I am sure Caz is involved in Ozzie´s death and hopefully the truth will come out and we will have seen the last of this character .. can´t stand her

[tammyy2j]

Does she have any family or other friends who want her?

Never seen her with anyone on the street and don´t remember her talking about anyone somewhere else ..
