Maria Connor Sutherland (Samia Smith)

[Dazzle]

She is pretty boring, you have to admit.

She's not the most scintillating of characters, but in my opinion there's many far more boring characters than Maria in Corrie at the moment. She hasn't had any decent storylines for a long time which doesn't help.

I used to think she was good back when she was involved with Liam and then later Tony Gordon and also during her stillbirth storyline. I haven't seen anything (other than lack of storylines) since then to change my mind.

Put it this way: for me Maria is a middle of the road character who's had some very good moments in the past. She's not in the top tier of characters/actors in Corrie, but neither is she someone who I'd axe given half the chance (and there's quite a few of those).

Even with decent storylines, she just does not deliver them as far as I am concerned ... maybe the production team know her limitations and therefore don´t give her anything too demanding ...

I don't really care very much one way or the other about Maria I have to say. But I can remember when she and Carla were involved in the story over Liam together that I just felt how weak she was both as an actor and as a character. Both Alison and Carla knocked spots off her (if you see what I mean) and I certainly knew who I'd want if I was Liam!

I disagree with you there as I always found Carla unattractive because she was so hard-faced - but then as a straight female what would I know?

Talking as a straight male, I would put it like this. Maria was like a little girl whereas Carla was a real woman.

Carla definitely had something about her.

Carla definitely had something about her.

She had…….her Dalek voice.

Better that than Maria´s whine

It is hard to feel sympathy for Maria and I think pairing her with Aidan could ruin him too

Umm... I know as I dont see him as eye candy I may be skewed, but Shane isnt exactly a good actor, well I mean I dont think he can act.. I would rate him below a drunk elf at a Santas grotto in the local super market

On DS they are obsessed with Marias upper lip hair, it always makes me chuckle, well thats DS for you , full of t deranged posters.. oh wait I post there

I have been wanting Aidan with Alya since he started at the factory, as they had more potential to me that him and Eva or now him and Maria, plus the bound over their mother's deaths
