I gave up watching for too long, I've gotten up to speed with story lines but don't know how Michelle and Maria are connected?

Was confused when Michelle's dad called Liam his grandson.....

Can someone fill me in? Thanks

    Michelle and Maria don't have a huge amount to do with each other onscreen though.

    Maria married Michelle's brother Liam, then Liam was murdered whilst Maria was pregnant. She then had little Liam!

    Which makes absolutely no sense considering they are sisters-in-law living on the same street. :confused:

    Ah I see. Thankyou all for replying.

    I'd never seen anything that made me think they had anything in common - don't think Michelle has ever mentioned her "nephew" since I've been re watching.

    Typical Corrie!

    Thanks.

    Something I touched on the SOR thread. Both hardly have scenes together which is odd.

    Why would Maria text Michelle about Liam being ill? Are we meant to believe they only contact each other on texting terms?

    'Tis very strange. :rolleyes::D:D

    (Although perhaps we should be grateful that the writers remembered the connection long enough to have Maria text Auntie Michelle at all).:rolleyes:

    Remember when Maria and Carla were close after everything they went through together? Only for Michelle to return and muscle in, now they are never together.

    Yes Michelle doesn't have any time for her brothers widow and the mother of her nephew yet she's very pally with Carla - the woman who Liam had an affair with. Ironically, up until her dad showed up last night, the only blood relative that Michelle has living locally is little Liam Jnr - as even Ryan isnt blood related to her remember.

    That p!ssed me off big time. It was because Lomas/Ryder/Marsh (or whatever she calls herself these days) had to have time off, so Maria was drafted into that storyline to replace Michelle, which never worked because the two characters (Maria & Carla) couldn't stand each other, and then when Michelle returned Maria was cast out of the end of the storyline and Carla and Maria haven't spoken to each other since! :D

    It's funny that, we never see Michelle interact with her nephew.

    To be fair, Maria probably bored Carla to death

    Why is Carla Dead?:confused:

    The Maria and Carla Scenes after Carla's rape were really good, it shows onscreen how well the actresses get on off screen.

    Kym Lomas annd she had to have time off when her son died.:(

    As Carla and Maria had made up sometime before Carla was raped, i think the storyline worked well especially how Frank tried to rape Maria first.

    The Carla and Maria scenes were great IMO and worked better than it would have with Michelle, when Michelle said Maria had text earlier about Liam it did sound very contrived.

    Maria is such a deadwood character- Axe her...

    I'm sure she will be back on our screens more if the rumoured Todd and Marcus storyline is true.

    Maria hardly has any scenes with anyone, she's really underused. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I'd completely forgotten that Liam was Michelle's nephew until last night's eps.
