Coronation Street spoilers: Maria Connor dealt cruel blow as Gary Windass' exposed

Carrying Gary’s baby and only having seen how kind he has been to her, the hairdresser will want to defend her partner from any accusations being thrown his way.

Viewers have already seen Maria go up against her ex Ali Neeson (James Burrows), when he tried to expose the loan shark after uncovering his secrets.

When more of her neighbours begin to air concerns about the super villain’s criminal connections, the mother-of-one will become isolated from the community.

Speaking more about the backlash of the terror which will unfold on Christmas Day, soap stars Samia, 37, and Mikey, 33, teased what’s ahead for the couple in the coming weeks.
