Samia Longchambon reveals how Aidan death haunts Maria
Coronation Street’s Maria actress Samia Longchambon has shared how Liam’s search history brings up memories of Aidan Connor’s death for Maria.
Speaking to Entertainment Daily! and other media, Samia explained: “It’s utterly heartbreaking for her to think that her own son is considering doing that especially after what she went through with Aidan.
“She does get really paranoid understandably because it has been extremely close to home. A family member has ended their life before. She’s absolutely, understandably, horrified by it and she won’t leave him alone for one second.”
As Gary and Maria rush to find Liam, Samia revealed the thoughts playing on Maria’s mind, sharing: “Has history repeated itself? Has he done what Aidan did?”
But, will history repeat itself? Or, can Liam be helped through this bullying ordeal and come out the other side?
