We’re a bit torn about our feelings for Maria Connor here at ED Towers. On one hand, she’s a vulnerable and troubled single mum who just wants love.

But on the other, she’s a predatory man-eater with something of a taste for other women’s men. Hmmm.
Anyway, we have felt a bit sorry for her since the only man she seems to have genuinely loved since Liam (RIP) played with her feelings, eventually dumping her when his main chick, Eva, announced her ‘pregnancy’.
Next week, the heartbroken hairdresser attempts to put Aidan Connor behind her and goes on a date with her mate Michelle’s ex fella, Will.
We’re pretty sure this is against the girl code, but I think we’ve firmly established that Maria doesn’t really give a hoot about that.
They meet for a drink at the Rovers, because staying classy, and seem to be getting on like the proverbial flaming hot house.
But has Maria unwittingly traded one cheating snake in for another? The last time Will spent any substantial time on the Street was when he attempted to steal Michelle away from Steve – seemingly forgetting that she was organising his wedding at the time.
Things have changed since then of course with Steve and Michelle splitting over baby Oliver, and Will is no longer with his fiancee, Saskia. Does this mean his intentions towards Maria are honourable then? Does it ‘eck.
Will bumped into Michelle recently, when she revealed she was no longer with Steve. Will’s eyes lit up, but he was disappointed again when she told him she’s already moved on (and in) with Robert Preston.
With Michelle about to become embroiled in a terrifying stalker drama, is Will’s sudden reappearance a little bit too convenient?
Robert is convinced that she’s being targeted by vengeful Rich, which makes sense considering he’s ransacked their home and fire-bombed the Bistro, but is someone else behind the stalking? Someone like Will?
Michelle agrees to give Maria and Will a lift into town so they can enjoy a night out, but as she waits alone in a bar, she realises that someone is watching her.

Is it Rich and is she in danger? Or is Will just using Maria to get closer to Michelle?
And will Aidan get jealous when he finds out that Maria has been on a date with another man? So MANY questions!
