Back in November, we joined a Corrie Christmas zoom session to chat all things festive with a few of the shows cast. In this interview actress Samia Longchambon talk's about Maria, marriage, and Maria's suspicions about Gary!
Q- Gary is called in for questioning by the police. How is Maria feeling by that point?
A - 'I doubt Maria is surprised by his actions anymore. We saw after the honeymoon, how she was questioning him about maxed out credit cards. Maria knows Gary has been keeping a lot of things from her and this is huge! She thinks he could be a lot of things but not a murderer! She wonders what is happening and if he is capable of it? The doubts are creeping in'
Q - Maria makes this discovery whilst walking in on a conversation he is having with Sarah, how does she feel about that?
A - 'Maria sees Sarah as a friend but is still quite cautious about their relationship. When she walks in and sees Sarah accusing him of killing Rick, she is taken aback by it'
Q-Do you think Maria could put her suspicions aside or is she pushed to the limit by Gary’s behaviour?
A - 'I think this is pushing her to the edge and it is not looking good for them. There is no level of trust and deep down she knows that he is hiding something from her. With the police questioning him, she has her doubts about Rick disappearing, and she cannot ignore them now'
Q- Does Maria think she would have a happily ever after when she married Gary?
A - 'I like to think 50/50, she did not marry him thinking it would go pear-shaped so quickly, anyway! At the same time, she knows what he is like; a bumpy ride but not this bumpy!'
Q - Kelly turns up and tells Maria that Gary is the only real connection that she has to her Dad, Rick. Why does Maria then invite Gary over with Kelly being there?
A - 'The whole business with the watch has got Maria suspicious. She overhears Bernie in Roys Rolls telling Brian that she had found it in the woods and Gary was trying to buy it off of Sarah - which she knew nothing about! Maria then finds out it was Rick’s! Kelly then has her suspicions which she tells to Maria, who then invites Gary over. None of it makes sense other than Gary having killed Rick, so she needs answers!'
