Samia Smith, who plays Coronation Street's Maria Connor, was interviewed on ITV1's Lorraine show this morning. For those in the UK who can watch the video, the link is below but for those overseas who can't view these videos online, here's a little round up of what Samia had to say.
She talked about the upcoming storyline with Chris dying from his brain tumour, dumping Maria and trying to get back to his ex-wife Cheryl. The cast get the scripts one or two weeks in advance of filming and trust the writers to do what they want with the characters and they're pleasantly surprised, most of the time. Samia tries to do all of her script learning at work so she can enjoy her home life but some cast members try to learn their lines at home the night before.
Samia confirmed that she's signed a new contract with Corrie for another 12 months and says there's some interesting, great storylines coming up for Maria.
