MARIA’S HERO!

Are David and Maria set to become more than friends?

It started out as a joke, but Maria and David’s ‘romance’ in Corrie could turn into the real deal if actress Samia Longchambon has her way! The star reckons that her beleaguered character should wash her hands of cheating Aidan – and hook up with David instead.

“I’m campaigning for Maria and David to get together,” she confesses. “We’ve had so many messages on Twitter from people who are rooting for the two of them. I think they should just crack on!”

Maria might soon wish that she’d fallen for a different fella, judging by what Street bosses have planned for her and love rat Aidan. The pair recently resumed their shameless affair behind his girlfriend Eva’s back – but the situation is set to move into some very dark territory.

“Aidan is just a dirtbag,” sighs Samia. “It’s not going to end well, and I don’t fancy Maria’s chances against Eva. There are lots of twists and turns before the secret comes out…”
