I'm kind of torn about Mary. I like her character but the writers haven't given her much depth. Whoever was writing at the time she told the policeman she hadn't' touched a chainsaw since....' ought to be dragged back and kept. Her lines have been dire since then.

That's exactly how I feel about her - here's tons of untapped potential there, we just need decent writing to bring it out.
Annoying as her character is (and dire as that trip away with Norris was), she has so much more potential in terms of backstory than some of the main players who we already know everything about and who have been in every conceiveable situation already.
As much as Carla Connor is popular, in her time on the street she's covered up a fatal accident, married a man who uses prostitutes (and kidnapped the one who turned out to be his brother's girlfriend), been widowed, had an affair with her brother in law, who was murdered, been raped, been in jail, been an alcoholic, gained and lost her factory, stolen yet another husband.. and that's just off the top of my head. Gail has an even more chequered past!
Mary has so much potential, shame the scriptwriting is so appauling at the moment.
She was talking to Nick recently about a theme night at the Bistro, wasn't she?
And wasn't she raising money for Christmas lights? I've been watching old Corrie eps lately though, so I might have mixed them up.
I don't really like he character, I find her quite pointless. I don't like Norris much either, he used to be funny but he's plain horrible now. He had no right to tell everyone about Tina being pregnant, it was up to her.

It'd be great though if we were given an insight into what makes her this way, maybe explored more about what really happened with her mother...
Doubt it'll ever happen, but still would be good.
People either find her funny and want more, or they don't get the humour and want to see the back of her.
Personally, I love her - but she needs good writing to bring out the best in her comedy potential.

Mary will become a Corrie icon!
I think she is back on screeen next week.
Yep, big icon potential. She's hilarious!
