Maria to face breast cancer scare

We've seen Sally go through it, and next month, Maria will face a breast cancer scare. There's a long interview in the Mirror with Samia Smith who tells us that she herself when through a breast cancer scare just after her baby was born. She found a small lump and was lucky to be able to get in and have it seen straight away and in her case, it was benign.

As far as Corrie goes, this will be the catalyst to a different sort of relationship triangle when Maria turns to Marcus for support, not Jason. She and Marcus will find their feelings are stronger than they realized.

“They are good friends but the lines start to get blurred. She knows he is gay but she can’t help her feelings for him."

As you can imagine, poor Jason is going to be broken hearted yet again. Will Marcus and Maria go the distance? I reckon not and she'll be broken hearted as well. Again. 

Samia also talks about motherhood but says very little about her divorce and new relationship with former co-star Will Thorpe other than to say she's happy.
