She's my favorite corrie character and I'm not sure why she's so unpopular on here, I'm glad she's been given a good storyline so Samia can show her talent

Although, she's not my favourite character in Coronation Street (Sarah is) I don't mind Maria.

However, I liked her much more when she was with Tyrone.

Very hard to warm to her when she's so stupid enough to get in all the situations over the years.

I still hope they get back together but I think Tyrone and Fiz are endgame

That's what I like about her, she is the type of person you would expect to live in your street and is relatable

Again that's why an like her, she has a big heart which clouds her judgement sometimes, and this makes her flawed

I don't mind Maria but can understand why people call her dreary Maria. She constantly has a downbeat, negative attitude. OK, she might always not have things to be happy about but she seems one dimensional and drones on in a monotone voice.

However, Eva and Michelle are more annoying. Eva is just plain stupid and so completely self-centred and Michelle is just self-centred and a big business failure despite what Corrie try and tell us.

By that strange logic no one likes Sean Cotton because he's a man!

Not everything is B&W nor comes down to sexism you know.

Maria is an immoral woman who neglects her young son; how can anyone like the character?

Although she's been acting since she was very young (as have Alan Halsen & Jack P Sheperd) I don't feel that she has improved in the same way that the others have. There is just no depth to her and no believable emotion. I find her quite boring and will not miss her time away from the street.

She's just so dreary...

Still now she's in the clink we'll have six months of a Maria-free zone

Just quoting myself to say I know I've goofed and is now too late to edit.

I like Maria, I can certainly name several characters I dislike more.

Which one: sleeping with Eva's fella, or getting sent down for marrying an illegal? Neither have showcased her talents, even though she's better suited to Aiden.

And I thought Ken was boring. I guess the writers do portray the residents more realistically than I thought.

This affair is one if the few I've personally invested in, as I tend to find the couples thrown together for the shock value. But Aidan and Maria actually work well together. Likewise despite the ridiculous outcome of her trial Maria had that beautiful scene with Liam

I don't get those characters saying she's done nothing wrong and how unjust charging her is/was.

I thought the judges summing up was spot on, and going through a sham marriage even for no payment and to "help" someone is irrelevant, assisting illegal immigration is a serious offence and needed to be seen to be treated by the courts as one.

From a story and moral point of view yeah she needed to be punished, but the judge gave her 12 months despite the fact she is Liam's primary carer , she is leaving him just before Christmas and she has just been wrongly held in demand for a murder she did not do. Considering her spotless record she should really have gotten a suspended sentence

She's just boring. Every now and then the writers need to give her something to do and it always involves her getting with someone else's man. She does nothing for months then sets her sights on some neighbour who's been under her nose all the time and we then have her caught in various states of undress until it fizzles out then she disappears again. She would be more likeable if she helped others or did something really life changing. The only thing she regularly changes is her man. But only for another who lives in the same street.

You can't take national security lightly. She brought this stranger into the country and didn't have a clue what his intentions were. How Homeland Security didn't jack the two of them up is beyond me. I'm surprised they're still not being held for questioning. In regards to the primary caregiver angle, how serious a crime would you have to commit to take that into consideration. As a prosecutor would say, you should have thought of that before you committed the offence.
