lol Wonder what Aidan's childish actions when he finds out about Maria and Adam?
If it I don't think she will be in prison for very long???

Samia is one of several faces on the front cover of the double edition of Inside Soap commencing December 3rd.

Suffice it to say, there was 1 fewer edition left in the store when I exited!

Wow, poor Maria!! That looks like a powerful scene & so well acted!!
Looking forward to this!!
I'm presuming Caz is caught as Maria is obviously out next week!! Wonder if there will be any scene where she gets to confront Caz at any point, probably not I guess, but I'd love to see it!!
Agree about Kate!! She's more deluded than Caz!!

Samia is getting around quite a bit! She appeared in the supplements of today's Sunday Express and Star on Sunday. In the latter case, she is even on the front cover.

Awww so she got 12 months, don't think she'll be in that long and she's gonna be filming prison scenes so we'll still see her onscreen.

Hi guys!! Back from a month long internet 'holiday' courtesy of my supply failing on Nov 30th & only just got it sorted this morning!!

I literally cannot praise Samia highly enough for her acting in the run up to Christmas!! Some of her scenes have been heartbreaking & all have been handled with her own brand of straightforward, realistic & almost unique emotional acting brilliance that have had me going on Maria's traumatic 'journey' with her & feeling every emotion!!

If anyone is still saying Samia can't act after the week leading up to Christmas then to my mind it must be because they have some personal issue with her!!

Well done Samia, you've earned your bit of time off!!!!

Belated Happy Christmas to you Avon & to Multimedia, KateFord fan & anyone else who reads & apprecates Samia/Maria!!

Yes I got a copy. It was a lovely read with some wonderful pictures. Really excited to see how Maria copes in prison and how she's changed when she comes out.

I hope she moves out of the salon flat and into one of the Victoria street flats - I mean she's not exactly broke and after what Caz did why would she stay in that flat.

Yes I do hope they are going to show some scenes of her adapting to prison life rather than just the odd scene of people visiting etc!! As a character she's tougher than she makes out but prison would be a horrible ordeal for her being away from Liam & would be a real test of her character!!
I too would like to see a 'new Maria' when she returns, at least in terms of her mental strength & a move to another home would be a good start for her!!
I honestly don't know now whether I want ro see her & Aidan get together!! The chemistry between the two of them is fantastic but he hasn't exactly proved to be the perfect partner & would more than likely end up cheating on her & piling another heap of misery on her down the line!!
As brilliant as Samia is at playing trauma & heartache for Maria, I would love to see a spell of things going right for her for a couple of years, maybe get the chance to take over Audrey's or open a place of her own, or maybe another child, just some happiness for a while to stop her going under altogether, or becoming bitter & losing her sense of kindness towards other people!!
As I said In a thread a couple of days ago Maria is a lovely character when she's not at rock bottom as she has been throughout the last few weeks!!

That said it has been brilliant to have such an intense, important & character building s/l for her and for Samia to act!! I've loved every single scene!!

Welcome back NDD. Thank you for your festive wishes. I wish you a happy New Year.

I notice you will have had your 10,000th post recently. Just out of interest, was it a post on Samia?

Missed it unfortunately, was looking out for it for weeks then got cut off for a month, then when I got back forgot in the excitement & noticed I was on 10004!!

Would like to think it was one about Samia!! Must remember to make sure my # 13782 is about her when it comes round!!

A very Happy New Year to all you guys!!

Hope it sees much more action for Maria/Samia!!
We've been spoiled in 2016 & now I've had a taster I want more, though I would hate them to overload the misery on her & turn her into the shell that Carla was when she left!!

A bit of happiness wouldn't go amiss & I would have liked to see her being Michelle's support through her coming tragedy, given her history with baby Paul but sadly looks like the timing's out for that one!!

I welcome your commitment about your future post 13782! I managed that feat last September.

We can hold our heads high this year having contributed to Samia's Appreciation Thread on New Year's Day.

Is anyone else thinking that Monday night's prison scenes will be the last we see of Maria for a few weeks?
Her parting shot of "Well let's just see what happens next" suggested it to me!!

I know the whole prison thing was designed to give Samia some time out from the show but it seems a bit of a waste to me, a character like Maria in prison without showing us the effect on her & how she is coping in there!! I know I'm too soft & it's not real & all that but I REALLY felt for her the other night as she is so far removed from the Maria we love!!
I could cheerfully have throttled Aidan with my bare hands to be honest!! Really not sure now that I want them to get together, despite the undoubted chemistry between the characters!!

Edit: More kudos to Samia for her acting in those scenes because beneath it all was still Maria, the vulnerable little character I love but hard & bitter on the surface, totally understandable of course & the qualities i guess you need to survive in prison, especially given that she is only in there in the first place for showing kindness, however stupid & misplaced, firstly to Pablo then to Caz!!

Probably. Tyrone will feel duty-bound to Fiz to stay away. Aiden may feel awkward, and Audrey will conspicuously forget that Maria is in prison. And Eva will miss her bus or
