AIDAN GIVE IN TO HIS FEELINGS Kirk calls at the salon flat and is unimpressed to find Maria hungover and Adam in a state of undress after spending the night. Maria snuggles down to watch TV with Liam but in her hungover state she falls asleep. Meanwhile Liam heads to the kitchen where he switches on a gas ring. Kirk returns to the flat and immediately notices the smell of gas. He quickly orders Liam out and then follows, carrying a groggy Maria.

Maria is not a well-rounded character and her storylines are only about her sex life. To be fair, she's probably much the same as other young women (and most have children) and men in Corrie. The difference is that we don't see her as a believable working mother - Leanne is in the bistro, Tracy has the florist shop. Maria isn't involved with Kirk and Beth while the other two have family storylines. If the writers want to show Maria as a self-absorbed character, they should write some scenes where she has to defend her actions. OK, times have moved on from Elsie and Ena rowing in the street but Audrey could take Maria to task. It's not about whether Maria is right or wrong, just that arguments about her lifestyle would make her character more interesting.
ReplyDeleteI actually quite like Aiden and Maria together, more so than Aiden and Eva. That peculiar cackle of Eva's would be awful to live with.
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer a cackle to a load of dopey bleating and not knowing who she will fall in love with/stalk/cheat with next...
