"Samia Ghadie said new producer Kate Oates has some big plans for her character, who hasn't had a whole lot to do over the past few years.

The actress told OK Magazine: "I had a meeting with Kate (our new producer) last week to discuss where we both think my character Maria, should be heading.

"Kate shared a few exciting ideas and storylines so I'm really excited about that!"

Nice to see Kate Oates giving more cast members a direction especially those who have been loyal to the show despite being given next to no material.

Sounds good and I like Maria I know she's like marmite for some but I'd much rather be reading something like this about a character like Maria than hearing stuff like this from one of blackburns characters that's been brought in the last couple of years.

Loyal to the show? Lol. Getting paid a cr@p load for doing nothing and having tons of time off, and what else would she do if not on Corrie? It's a cushty gig, and well she knows it.

Maria was great in the Liam Connor and Frank Foster plots. The stillbirth scenes were particularly good.

Well that's one of my predictions correct then.

I am glad.

Now if she sorts out Gail and Todd, then I am officially Corrie's own Mystic Meg.

She'll probably turn dreary Maria into a dreary serial killer

I actually didn't mind Maria when she went a bit bunny boilerish last year.

Oh dear. Come back Blackburn,all is forgiven! Whatever else his faults,he never showed much interest in this particularly boring character. Not an encouraging start to the Kate Oates era. Let's hope that Samia's over egging this...

As it involves Dreary Maria, probably a dull, over-hyped one. Involving a man or two.

This is good news. With Carla and Kylie leaving, the show is beginning to wear thin on strong female characters. Particularly the younger ones!

Maria has been on the show for years and is well deserving of a big storyline. I'm glad she's finally getting one.

Kate Oates knows what she is doing.

This is just the reply I was going to type. I'd be loyal to the show if I was getting a good wage for only reciting a couple of lines a week. She's not going to get any other 'acting' gigs

Good god this does not bode well. Let's give a dull character with limited acting skills more to do

I'm glad, i like Maria

It would be nice to see her have a decent storyline, it's well overdue.
I enjoyed it last year when she was pretending to be Kirsty, anyone who winds up Fiz and Ty are ok with me.

Samia's great whenever she gets given any half-decent material so I'm delighted to hear this. Let the Kate magic begin!

I thought she was quite good way back when she was married to Liam Connor. She hasn't had much of a role in recent years.

You serious took long enough to get rid of this clown. Samia can actual act and does deliver when given something to do.

Seriously? The greatest playwright and poet in the world. One of the most astute observers of human behaviour and psychology and you think he's boring?

I'm actually

I agree James!!
Samia has Corrie running through her veins & is hugely popular with everyone connected to the show!!
Whatever she is given she will not let anyone down!!
She has a great attitude to life as well, reading that OK blog!!

Sounds good and I like Maria I know she's like marmite for some but I'd much rather be reading something like this about a character like Maria than hearing stuff like this from one of blackburns characters that's been brought in the last couple of years.
Ditto

Awesome Samia is a cracking actress when given something decent
She is good when given decent material.
She is indeed!!

Maria was great in the Liam Connor and Frank Foster plots. The stillbirth scenes were particularly good.
She was fabulous for two years solid throughout the whole Liam/Tony/Carla/Maria s/l & again during the Frank/Carla stuff!!!

Well that's one of my predictions correct then.

I am glad.

Now if she sorts out Gail and Todd, then I am officially Corrie's own Mystic Meg.
I hope you're right LM, I really do!! Todd is showing signs of improvement but poor Helen Worth must absolutely despair at ehat's been done to her character in recent years!!

This is good news. With Carla and Kylie leaving, the show is beginning to wear thin on strong female characters. Particularly the younger ones!

Maria has been on the show for years and is well deserving of a big storyline. I'm glad she's finally getting one.

Kate Oates knows what she is doing.
I agree Lou!!
Maria was one of the best characters on the show throughout the 00's and with a few decent storylines could be again!!

I'm glad, i like Maria

It would be nice to see her have a decent storyline, it's well overdue.
I enjoyed it last year when she was pretending to be Kirsty, anyone who winds up Fiz and Ty are ok with me.
Hi Loz!! Yes agree it is well overdue!!
I would love to see her & Ty back together at some point in the future, though I do like her
with Luke!!

I think she will get in trouble with Immigration because of the marriage that is'nt.
I want this to happen!!

It would give Samia something imteresting & challenging to get her teeth into again!!

Samia's great whenever she gets given any half-decent material so I'm delighted to hear this. Let the Kate magic begin!
I'm delighted too!!

I thought she was quite good way back when she was married to Liam Connor. She hasn't had much of a role in recent years.
You serious took long enough to get rid of this clown. Samia can actual act and does deliver when given something to do.
It's really encouraging for me as a Maria/Samia fan to see all these positive comments!!
It really narks me when oeople say she can't act because it's complete bo**ocks!!
As for her being dull, dreary or boring, fair enough given the material or lack of it she's had!!
Try seeing how interesting any character is if you give them nothing to do, forget all their past history & give them a few throwaway scenes with very little dialogue for two years!!

She never used to be dull!!

Seriously? The greatest playwright and poet in the world. One of the most astute observers of human behaviour and psychology and you think he's boring?

I'm actually
Great he may have been & I realise I'm going to be cosidered a heathen of the highest order but the language he uses just does not speak to me in any shape or form!!

Keyser tried to educate me in that thread a few days ago but the half page of quote, prose, whatever you like to call it was complete gobbledegook to me & I really can't be bothered to spend half a day trying to analyse it!!

A few years ago, being a massive fan of David Tennant as an actor I started to watch him in a TV adaptation of I think it was Hamlet & after 5 minutes I literally had to turn it off because it was getting on my nerves so badly!!
So yes I'm delighted for all you fans out there but please don't ask me to ever read, watch or listen to it!!
