All my posts have been facts you're just being defensive and won't listen to reason.

I can't stand the woman her track record speaks for itself doesn't mean I hate her nobody noticed she'd gone when she went away to have her baby she will never never be popular or liked among Corrie fans if you don't believe me just look at the Corrie Facebook page and see for yourself.
I don't & never will listen to personal opinions pushed in my face as facts, especially from one so obsessively biased as yourself!!
You are lying when you say nobody noticed she had gone as her twitter pages were full of comments saying she'd been missed & when was she coming back!! As for Facebook (or twitter for that matter) I prefer to talk to people who watch the show directly, most of whom i've spoken to are either ambiguous towards the character or like her, I certainly haven't come across any haters & nearly all like what they've seen of Samia as a person!!

You can't stand her, fair enough, your prerogative!! I like her, my prerogative & never the twain shall meet so I'm ending this argument now!!

Well you clearly haven't been looking in the right places then because there's loads of negative comments about Maria. You just want to see what you want to see everything with you about Maria and the actress is always somebody else's fault enjoy Maria being in the forefront while it lasts because it won't be for long.

I am enjoying it very much thank you and it will last as long as the producer chooses it to last, I doubt she'll be consulting you on the matter!!

No need. You have to sometimes let people make their own mistakes in life.

I could have done without seeing that.

I'm not homophobic, although I am fully aware I am gonna sound it.... But I am sick of seeing so many men snogging on tv. I see men getting it on so rarely in real life, and yet homosexuality is rammed down our throats on telly every day. Every last damn programme has gays on it. And God forbid you comment or say you don't wanna see it.

And don't even get me started on the amount of OTT camp men on tv. Coach Trip, X Factor, Big Brother, every damn soap. WTF? Hate me, bash me, whatever, but I am entitled to say I am sick of seeing it, and I don't wanna see it.

And what did Todd mean, riding on the bishops petticoat or whatever? (On the bit where he was snogging Billy.....)
Oh, well said. Another here who's beyond sick of it all. And now it looks like Maria's a lesbian after all. In another few years straight people will be the minority. Guess it won't be politically correct to have a sodding 'straight pride' march though.

Whoops, thought you were writing about the even more ludicrous Sean Tully.
I seriously want to know why the hell that idiot is still on our screens, he's never been able to act. Utterly puzzling.

There was not the slightest evidence to suggest Maria's a lesbian!!! She was being a good mate & that's all!!

This is Kate Oates we're talking about. Do watch Emmerdale? She is all about ambiguous sexuality and affairs. Robert came back as a gay man and gay Ali who slept with her ex-husband Dan.
I can't highlight on this phone, but that's what annoys me - ambiguity - the straight man or woman suddenly being gay. Isn't the general concensus that gay people are born gay? So what, in soapland they've been living a lie? We had no prior warning Robert was gay-then bang, he's suddenly gay and has been screwing his wife for years and she had no clue. The deceit and heartbreak for all those they've hurt along the way (in soapland) just for salacious storylines. The writers have gone too far with sex scenes in all soaps now, there's no need for it. Once upon a time parents could watch soaps wiith their kids, These are shown before the watershed. Does every storyline now really need to involve sex, betrayel and infidelity?? Can we please have couples that are actually happy and faithful? And preferably leave the sex scenes to the imagination? What's wrong with a loving kiss?? There's plenty of films if people want to watch people getting their rocks off.

Yeah, yeah - I already know the comments you right-on, politically correct folks are going to bring, all fired up with self-righteousn indignation. So be it, pant your way across the page. I've said what I wanted and won't be 'debating'. Fill your boots.

I'm completely serious & the storyline is heading towards
Spoiler

Maria is being rather naive & gullible but that has always been her character & has got her into trouble on many occasions!! She admitted herself last night she's always making wrong decisions & helping Caz is going to be another!!

I'm completely serious & the storyline is heading towards Caz developing an obsession with Maria & trying to kiss her in the next episodes!! There has been nothing anywhere to suggest Maria is going to reciprocate & turn lesbian!!

Yes, I can see that happening - (sorry, I can't highlight on this phone) - about Caz becoming obsessed. I've just seen too many crap storylines now, in different soaps, where someone suddenly turns gay. (See my post above).

Edit- you edited with the spoiler after I'd replied. I obviously didn't have the info that you did. Still, though, the ambiguity is always there.

Another edit: Maria is actually very selfish. Was she being naive and gullible when she went after Tyrone? Is she being the same whilst using Luke, knowing how hurt he is?? She's self centred and selfish.

We were led to believe she was having a breakdown with the Tyrone thing, though that s/l was so poorly written that you would not really have known she wasn't just throwong a strop because Marcus had cheated on her!! As a fan of the character I know her history & there was way more to it than that!!
In the case of Luke last night, yes I think that's exactly what she was being! She'd been upset by their meeting in the shop & thought that they should be able to be friends, hence her idea of taking him to the award thing, she basically said as much to Michelle & Rita!!
It was only when she saw the effort he'd gone to to impress her that she realised her mistake!! It went from bad to worse when she got upset over Liam whilst comfortinh Caz!!
Basically the character of Maria is an emotional mess at the moment (and I don't mean that in a bad way) & has been since Kylie's death in the Street brought back terrible memories of Liam's similar death for her & sadly Luke's feelings have been a casualty of that, doesn't make it right I know but I don't think it's quite as simple as her being purely selfish & self centred as you say!!
Apologies for the cock up with the quote, I was in a rush & highlighted instead of spoilering!!
Also apologies for sniping at you on your 'axing' thread!! It's just that as a fan of Maria , and the way the actress plays her it's annoying for me to continually see people dissing her acting!! Yes Maria isn't all high drama as a character, neither Samia as an actress & some find her 'dreary' because of it but what's wrong with a bit of subtlety & characterisation, most of what Maria does is consistent with her chatracter or events from the past/recent past & the actress plays those subtleties very well if people bother to take notice!! Give me that over OTT in yer face characters any day!!

Out of an adult cast of 58, Coronation Street has 6 gay or lesbian characters, which is 9.6%

Seeing as some studies say 10% of the population is LGBT, I think this is quite an accurate representation and the fact you're "beyond sick of it" sounds like homophobia to me.

According to you in a few years straight people will be in minority? I doubt that seeing as up till now they are still 90% of the population or more.

And even if more people do find their sexual orientation, surely this should be welcomed so they can finally lead a life they feel comfortable in instead of hiding it? Which human would morally want that?

Inevitable post. I don't care that you and the other 90% think I'm homophobic. I'm also anti-full sex in soaps and anti-incestuous relationships and every sod and his wife/her husband shagging other extra-marital partners etc., I also hate violence in soaps but it's what the majority of people want - 99% of people allegedly. Apparently I'm really, really boring for wanting a loving, lasting relationship occasionally. No problem if it's a gay couple genuinely in love for the duration, any sexual combination will do - man and man, woman ancdman or woman and woman, so long as they aren't going to start changing Whether they're 'really gay or straight' or not - you know, that lovely, exciting confusion the writers love to tease us with, to stop the 'boredom'. I'm definitely in the minority here, maybe I should start a movement, at the very least, a support group - and talk to myself. Such is the power of the aggressive 99.9%.

No worries. As you were, you comrades you. 😊
