Coronation Streets Maria-future stalwart?Underated?
I really like Maria in Coronation Street and I feel that she is very underated as a character and often overlooked.Shes a very good natured and kind character but forthrifght when neccesary.Certainly not a doormat.
I find her to be very likeable and easy to have empathy with.Shes already been on the show over 10 years and I could easily see her staying another 10 years.I think she could end up being a stalwart of the show and increase in popularity and stature. I actually enjoyed her dynamic with Carla especially during the rape storyline. For a character thats relatively young shes already got quite a lot of history on the show,-I think shes an unexpected choice or prediction to be a future stalwart but thats what i hope and expect shell become. Anyone agree? |

I think she will end up being an Audrey like figure in the street, poor Liam, that means he's the next Gail...

Good post OP. I like Maria a lot and she probably is underrated.
She's great to watch when she's with Carla. |

She kind of reminds me a bit of Emily Bishop, unlucky in love. Emily was around the same age.

I enjoyed Marias scenes with Audrey lastnight.They make an excellent pairing to watch in the hairdressers.

I tend to completely zone out & visit my 'happy place' inside my head whenever Maria is on screen, she's just so bland & irrelevant.
Her whole life seems to revolve around getting jiggy with someone or other (like ten years & counting), there's just nothing there - no substance whatsoever to engage the viewer. And don't get me started on that whiny, droning voice - nails down a wet window. |

Now she belongs in the same category as Jason, Gary, Izzy and many more. For being bland and boring. |

I like her. Her character kind of fades into the background but it is also characters like these who are the backbone of the show.

I find her dreary and tedious. As has already been said, every story she's a part of involves her getting jiggy with someone. Even when they've given her meaty storylines she manages to kill them stone dead. her so called 'rape' story with Frank Foster is a what I mean. She was so bad at handling the story that I could find no empathy for her. When her child was still born, again, within a few days she was off on holiday with Liam and there was no sadness about her character, she had forgotten all about the child. Yes, the script gave her lines to say, but a good actress would recall some history and call upon us to believe her character was in turmoil about losing a baby. There was none of that.
She could leave tomorrow and I wouldn't miss her one jot. |

Terrible actress but easy on the eye. 'Specially after shaving her top lip.

I would like to see Maria have more scenes with Tyrone and Fizz!
Also they need to bring back Ozzy. I'm glad Samia has no plans to leave corrie as I think she's a fantastic actress and Maria is a very good character. |

I don't mind her but I find her boring and irrelevant. She has the same storyline every other week but with different actors. She finds herself in a relationship, then gets cheated on or cheats on someone, then splits up, whines for a bit when the circle begins again. They've even started recycling the characters in her recycled storylines.
The character is about 30 now, time for her to stop playing the teenage games and start to let the character grow up or do something different. I wish they went further with the cancer storyline. She needs more ties to the street too. She doesn't seem to have any friends or family other than the odd character. She doesn't integrate much and sometimes seems a bit out of place. |

She's good when she actually has a PROPER storyline. They have wasted her character a bit in the last couple of years.

No I can live without Maria in the street, I too find her very bland and one dimensional - I can't see any real character there at all.....oh and don't get me started on all her sighing.

I think I'd manage without her character tbh. She's very beige and completely wet.

I really don't mind Maria, but that maybe says something about the character, I neigher really like her or dislike her, there's not much to her but I do think she could come good.
