![]() Seems the 'big surprise' is going to be that she returns
Spoiler
Not sure how that will play out or what it's all about but I'm sure Samia will do everything in her power to make it a realistic s/l!! Just hope it's well written!! Thanks for answering my call!! ![]()

Hmm interesting theory, all sounds very mysterious!! Let's hope it's a nice meaty story for Samia to get her teeth into, rather than the 'five minutes & then forgotten' stuff SB has been serving up recently!! Really looking forward to it ..but then, I'm biased!! Lol!!

Hmm whilst it's quite fun, this ain't looking like the big s/l we hoped for for Maria!!
Friday sounds like a laugh but nothing mentioned for next week!! I'm just hoping Kate Oates has better things lined up for Samia!! The last female producer we had seemed to love her and Maria, and rightly so!!! ![]() Really got fed up with this one mini storyline that lasts for a week of episodes, then we don't see her again for 5 weeks we've been getting for the last two years!!

Glad to have helped you both Debbie & Avon.
![]() Having seen a clip of her from 2000, I think she is better looking now. I first noticed her look better when she came back from Canada in 2002. ![]() I think Maria had her first friendly scene with Nick for years!

I first noticed her look better when she came back from Canada in 2002. ![]() I think Maria had her first friendly scene with Nick for years! ![]() Ironically it was her now best mate Fiz who, in a roundabout way, brought about the complete change in Maria!! She fixed her sights on Ty & won him over, chiefly by feeding him on pies & chips when Maria was trying to get him to lose some weight for their wedding!! After spotting Fiz snogging Ty's face off (to be fair on that occasion he wasn't given a lot of choice in the matter ), Maria called off the wedding & dumped him!!It was while she was in the pub drowning her sorrows that Maxine Peacock took pity on her & offered to 'take her under her wing!' Gone was the plain, scruffy little kennel maid, the old hairstyle (or lack of it) & the boring old clothes & a totally new Maria was born, using some of Maxine's cast offs & a complete makeover!! She also persuaded Audrey to take Maria on in the salon!! This was I think in late 2001!! Wish all those episodes were available on YouTube!! It was in the Salon early 2002 where she caught Nick's eye & they had a very torrid & passionate relationship for a while (hard to believe given the Ben Price version of Nick ) which resulted in her going to Canada with him!!That didn't work out & on her return, as you say, the now very sexy Maria with her miniest of mini skirts & her low cut halter tops, showing off as much of her as she possibly dared set about declaring a life of 'having fun' with the male population of Weatherfield!! Tyrone meanwhile had long since realised his mistakes & spent a large portion of the next four years desperately trying to win her back!! Maria's backstory is great if you take the trouble to go back into it & the way the character has developed over the years, despite some odd storylines, is actually as realistic as any of the characters on the Street!! As I say it's a shame more of it isn't still available on YouTube!! |

Maria is in most of the episodes next week but your right she needs a big storyline that she can get her teeth into.
![]() I really loved the stuff with Luke tonight!! The MF episode thread is absolutely slating it but what do that lot know!! ![]() It was a bit of good old fashioned Corrie fun, something Samia doesn't often get, but is actually really good at!! I honestly don't get where this idea comes from that Samia is a poor actress ![]() I always find her really convincing whether it's funny scenes like tonight, tragic scenes like the stillbirth & Liam's death or just everyday scenes chatting in the salon or whatever!! She is so crying out for that big storyline though as you say!! As much as I love Maria I'm kind of hoping this illegal marriage thing reappears as a serous storyline somewhere down the line with her havng to face the consequences of her actions!! That would be something different for Samia to act at least |

Was really great to see the return of drunk Maria tonight - full of personality!!
Also nice that the writers remembered Carla and Maria are friends. |

Also nice that the writers remembered Carla and Maria are friends. Strange I should choose to do so now as I was literally about to start a thread on the main forum on this subject!! Tonight is Carla's exit & I so want there to be an emotional farewell scene between these two as, of all the characters on the Street it's Maria that Carla has by far the most varied, colourful & interesting history with!! The two actresses always work brilliantly with each other, whether in their scenes as sworn enemies or more recently friends, plus they are best friends in real life, as Samia seems to be with every single person who works at Corrie in any capacity!! And yes she's brilliant when pretending to be drunk, very very funny & very very accurate!! |

Nice to see those scenes with Maria & Michelle tonight!!
Pity it had to rake Alison King's exit for the writers to remember that these two were once best mates!! Samia & Kym work well together playing friends!! |

As it was Samia's birthday yesterday, I was delighted that her character Maria was in yesterday's episode. She is still quite pretty at 34.

Nice to see Maria involved in Kylie's exit episode too as, although she's never had the best relationship with Kylie, she has a big history with David & the small scene where she's sobbing in the background, being comforted by Ken perfectly mirrored her own very similar experience with Liam's death just 7 years earlier!! Powerful scenes, very well put together by all at Corrie & BRILLIANTLY acted by Jack, Paula, Helen Worth & Lucy Fallon in particular!! |

What do any of you make of Samia's words here?? It would have to be something pretty horrendous to come anywhere near as sad as those Liam death scenes surely!! That scene where she's sobbing & Kirk has his arm round her is as iconic as any Corrie scene ever for me sets me off every time!! |
