This might be spoiler of the week from The Sun but as I'm no big fan of Maria Ozzy Connor, I wasn't gripped by the news that Tony Gordon's going to bed the Coronation Street crimper. I've never been a huge fan of Maria and this storyline smacks, to this Corrie fan, of the powers that be not really knowing in which direction to send Maria or indeed what to do to her character to develop it more.
Anyway, with my words updated from an old Corrieblog post written moons ago, here we go with How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?
She curls a perm and washes hair
Her frocks are all cut low
She waltzs on her way to work
And wears jim-jams at the bar
And underneath the dryer’s
Blanche with curlers in her hair
I’ve even heard her singing in the Kabin
How do you get an appointment with Maria?
She washes hair and perms it, pins it down
Where do you find a crimper like Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!
Tony's got something that he’d like to show her
When Carla finds out she might not understand
But how does her make-up stay
On Maria’s face all day?
When she’s working in the salon’s heat and grime?
Oh, how do you get an appointment with Maria?
How does she hold that hairspray in her hand?

Now i know Maria's a bit dim, but after all she's been through, would she really do this? As you know, sometimes the idea is right but the execution of it differs from the publicity. It just doesn't seem quite right though i can see her softening and doubting herself after all about his involvement in liam's death.
