Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

Dazzle-what do you like me to call her then?? Lovely sweet girl is it? Sorry I can't..

Luke doesn't know the truth! The real reasons why Maria dumped him-only excuses. And will be extremely hurt when it comes out.

I agree Luke will be very hurt when Maria's cheating comes out. However, it has the same root cause as her recent bad treatment of him over the Caz situation - she no longer loves him. What she told him wasn't an excuse.

You might be surprised to know that I don't have much sympathy for Maria at the moment either. I'm fond of Luke and there's no doubt she's treated him badly. I simply don't think she deserves such an extreme level hate, and I detest it when females are blamed for affairs and the men let off the hook.

Like said every situation, every relationship or personality of people involved is different. I'm only talking about this one on the screen at the moment and my view about maria shouldn't be taken as my general attitude towards women, who cheat, not at all. I've been there as that 'other woman 'so I know what I'm talking about. Never easy to anyone and emotions running high..I just don't understand maria's way of thinking.. She's not a young girl anymore and with all her past one would think she would have learned something and behave differently... But no.

It takes two to tango and we must remember the actress who plays Maria is only working to the daft scripts she gets. Yes she has done things in the past and i did not like what she did with Tyrone and Fiz. But that has nothing to do with this although it hints that she can be a dysfunctional character.
Any women would be upset on how they are treated after a one night stand if the person makes comments that are hurtful making them feel used. Aidan should have been a bit more sensitive.
However, I think Maria thinks Aidan is a better catch than Luke and sees there are problems with his relationship with Eva and that there may be an opportunity there. I do not think Aidan and Eva have chemistry and neither do Aidan and Maria. He would be better off with Alya.
But i have not been impressed with Aidan recently. I mean how is Eva supposed to know its his mums birthday she is not a mind reader!
We can sometimes all feel strongly about certain characters I know i do and we all have different views which should be respected even if we disagree

I'm sure all here understand that we are talking about the characters, not the real people behind them??! Surely?!
Let's say it then to make clear to everyone - i don't have anything against the actress playing Maria, I just don't like maria.

I don't currently think there's any more to it than that she's fallen for Aidan, but we'll see how the story unfolds. I'm definitely not going to be on her side if she starts chasing him. I hope she has more respect - for herself and Eva.

I can imagine that Maria will turn into a bunny boiler with regards to Aidan, not necessarily because she has feelings for him but more out of revenge for the way he has treated her since ...

That's certainly a possibility after she did the same to Tyrone.

I do think she was supposed to be having some kind of breakdown at the time so hopefully it won't happen again!
