Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Dazzle]

Decency to break up with Luke?? When poor Luke doesn't even know the reasons??? Well Maria was right in one thing-Luke does deserve someone better!

But Luke does know the reason. Maria told him she no longer loves him, which was made apparent before her tryst with Aidan. She treated him quite badly and he's better off out of it. So yes, she did do the decent thing breaking off with him, and at least she tried to do it kindly.

I agree Luke deserves better and hope he finds someone who'll appreciate him and treat him properly.

I'm quite amazed actually how many here are on Maria's side after everything she's done in the past??

I'm not sure many here are on Maria's side exactly. I'm usually her sole defender when discussing her on the spoiler thread. However, your rant was so astonishingly vitriolic and one-sided that I think it would be hard for even other Maria haters to agree with.

Yes, Maria has behaved badly many times over the years, but no more so than many other long-running soap characters (male and female) who don't attract the same disapprobation.

Plus she's always been that barbie doll type(no brain), who just flutter their eyelashes and use that to get any man they want. Problem with Maria is-and I find this so annoying about her-that she's not emotionally strong enough to just have fun and leave it to that, but she needs to cling onto any guy who pays any attention to her! Like now with Aidan-how did it happen overnight that Aidan was suddenly so much better than Luke?? I could understand if it happened over time, but just like that..?? And I don't get it that she was blaming Aidan for what happened? 'My dear, it takes two to tango, and you didn't say no, did you?' I have no sympathy for Maria, because of the type of woman she represents..barbie/weak/whinger...like a shrieking door when she speaks as well. We all have favourites, and she's definitely not mine. Wouldn't miss if she went, like I wouldn't miss Tyrone. They should've put them together and send them two away forever!

BIB 1: a very annoying trait I agree, but also realistic. Many women feel like they can't live without a man in their lives.

BIB 2: she was blaming him for his attitude afterwards, which was cold and dismissive. He used her for comfort sex whilst apparently being in love with another woman. Maria did a bad thing by cheating on Luke, but in my opinion Aidan's behaviour was far worse for the many reasons I've already listed.

BIB 3: and yet no vitriol towards Aidan for the type of man he represents? Anything that can be said of Maria can also be said of Aidan.

I didn't see Aidan doing anything wrong to Maria, he regretted the mistake and probably thought Maria can put it behind too and is now shocked she can't. Well, this is soap, and it has to come out.

Every situation is different but in this case I solely blame Maria. Aidan tried to fix things between Maria and Luke, regretted what happened and thought Maria would get over it too but was wrong. What else Aidan could be doing? Maria also put Aidan in a difficult position to lie to Eva even more about moving together...She's just very difficult person(Maria), don't know whether she's coming or going..not reliable.
In my opinion, aidan should just stay away from her.

So extremely harsh and slut shaming words about Maria and a long list of excuses for poor Aidan....
