CS: Samis Ghade's Maternity Exit Storyline?
Think I may have spelt her surname wrong.
But doesn't ring out how they must see and treat her Character as Maria. Kyle and Fiz, get a proper Storyline, Kylies Dragged on every since, Fiz they bought back Cilla. Maria, just gets sent to Cyprus cause her mum broke her hip. Hopefully Kate Oates will see sense and axe Maria. I'm sure Samia is lovely but not her character |

Useless character and actress. She will never leave because she is awful and they won't get rid because she is a lifer now. Corrie need some backbone

Ridiculous storyline. In reality if her mum and dad needed help working in their donkey sanctuary would they not call on Kirk who has experience in working with animals and has no dependent children instead of dragging a single mother and her son who has just started school to another country???

I thought the storyline involving her boyfriends car was going to lead to her exit, with them splitting up.p

Maria is criminally underused and so its no surprise that her exit was just a throwaway line about donkey sanctuaries.

Maria has been underused for a few years. I think KO will reinvent her when she comes back

Having her go be with her parents who we have long had established as living in Cyprus is the most logical way to write her out for a few months.
Maria does have experience working with animals, she was working at her parents kennels when we met her. As for it being her rather than Kirk, perhaps they think his life would be disrupted more as he is recently married and has a teenage stepson in school. Arguably, it would be easier for a younger child to spend a term or so at school in Spain. Plus, Maria is better off financially (due to liam's life insurance, selling their house etc) so they think she could cope without working for a while more easily than Kirk. Fact is, it is often difficult coming up with a convincing reason for an actress to leave for their maternity leave but it has to be done. Arguably, it is better to do it with as little fuss as possible. I find this more believable than fizz going off for months to look after Cilla as at least Maria gets on with her Mum and she isn't taking Liam away from his dad as Fiz did with Hope and Ruby. |

I think the write outs are unnecessary for maternity leave and in some cases hurt the character (like Kylie abandoning her kids). I think as an audience we could just accept that Maria is "out the back making tea", basically out of sight but referenced as being around or whatever for a few months and save us the usual sick relative story.

They could have just filmed loads of Scenes of Maria in Audrey's, Making coffee, and saying for example, Mrs Bigglesworth, do you want a cups.
You wouldn't no Maria and Kirk were brother and sister, as they have hardly any scenes together and aren't very caring |

Maria is a good character with a long tenure on the show. Samia Ghadie is also a capable and believable actress. I actually believe in Maria as a character - she is only one of the few 'real' characters on Coronation Street at the moment. She has been underused since Rob James-Collier left and has been sidelined in favour of other female characters.
As others have said, having her go off to Cyprus is believable and quite straightforward. Far more believable than some of the maternity exits they have concocted for other characters over the years. Liam is a problem and it does push believability that Maria would take him out of school to travel to the Med to live with donkeys. However, Maria's relationship with her son has been pushing believability for years now. Maria seems to live her life as if she didn't have a child. The same goes for Ozzy. I'd like to see KO revitalise Maria and make her a more important figure in the show. There is a slight worry though as Samia could go the same way as Sammy Winward and be killed off if she asks to leave or take time out
