Maria Connor gets a new fella in Coronation Street

Newspaper reports today suggest that Maria Connor is going to get a new fella on Coronation Street. Maria will be romanced by Luke Britton (Dean Fagan).

Dean told the Daily Star: "I'm pleased to be working with Samia. She said to me when we found out about their romance that she's the black widow of the ladies. I think Luke will try and mend Maria's heart."

But, says the Mirror, Maria will have to fight for Luke's attention since he is also set to catch Carla Connor's eye in the wake of her discovering her husband Peter Barlow's affair with Tina McIntyre.

Anonymous said...: Carla and Maria sharing the same man! Been there done that with Liam please give me a break! Can't the writers come up with something a little more creative! So not looking forward to this storyline at all.; 19 June 2014 at 14:15
Anonymous said...: This storyline is making me uncomfortable... Im as open minded as the next person but this is so tacky. What are the writers thinking. Iv finally gained some soap respect for character Carla which is now about to be destroyed. This luke character is obviously a loose moraled BOY who again bed hops( origional) im more disapointed in the females... Katy/carla/maria. Not a brain between them, no lessons learned. These characters take one step foward then three back, come on corrie up your game with some believable interaction....; 19 June 2014 at 14:35
Tvor said...: So much for being broken hearted and writing off men. And isn't he a bit young for her? Not that that means anything on a soap. I get the feeling he's only a couple of years older than Stef and she's Katy's age, about 19?; 19 June 2014 at 15:01
Christine said...: Why not allow Maria to meet a nice guy, perhaps also a widower with a small child. they can get married (would that not be a shock - a couple who gets married instead of shacking up). Has she not been through enough already?
How about creating some happiness on the street?? letting a couple have a happy, satisfactory relationship? they do happen; 19 June 2014 at 17:10
Anonymous said...: BORING! Why couldn't we see Maria more involved onscreen with her son and even her extended family? Why not see her put effort into planning to take the helm of the salon or considering more training or something?!; 19 June 2014 at 18:28
Anonymous said...: Exactly! You'd think that with her luck, they'd let her stay away from men for at least 6 months!

Flo said...: YAWN! These writers need to go back to school and learn how to write something interesting instead of the same thing over and over and over and...; 20 June 2014 at 14:20
abbyk said...: Maria HAD an improbable but lovely man and the only things we saw were a little sniping from Sean, a Christmas visit with his parents, and the worlds least likely breakup. For as long as they were together, we barely saw them for a drink at the Rovers. That was a total waste a very talented actor, a longterm character with well established roots, and a story about a different kind of romance.

Don't see Luke as more than a boy toy for her. She's a good mom and isn't one to play around. Blech. She should still have some money left over from husband Liam's death. Now that son Liam's a bit older, I'd like to see her get serious about getting ahead in life, maybe by buying out Audrey or doing something interesting as an independent stylist.; 21 June 2014 at 14:22
Anonymous said...: Yes, a good idea she should buy the salon.

After all, isn't Audrey now long past retirement age?; 21 June 2014 at 18:09
Talia said...: I would hate Audrey to give up the salon and begin spending her days in the pub; she's a great character and honestly, if anyone should leave it should be Maria, she's 'young enough' to move on elsewhere and begin anew and I don't find her very interesting.; 21 June 2014 at 22:23
Anonymous said...: looks like the writers are having a brain block concerning the involement of maria (suprise, suprise) any scraping of the barrel with this boring, one dimentional character/actor will not make me enjoy it any more. Wish corrie would focus on there many more talented watchable characters/actors.; 22 June 2014 at 16:08
Anonymous said...: Well Maria might not be enjoyable character or actress to you but she is to others. I would love to see Maria buy Audrey's and try and get ahead if life as appose to just settle.

Also Carla is supposed to be getting with Luke not Maria.; 22 June 2014 at 22:22
tryfanofduncton said...: I too would love to see Audrey retire from the salon & hand the keys over to Maria!! Perhaps Luke can be the catalyst for some good fortune for her at last, instead of just piling more & more heartache & misery on the poor girl's shoulders! I've loved Maria since day one & know a lot of others who do too & Samia is fantastic at playing her!!; 6 September 2014 at 01:19
