Maria Connor given horrifying news after son Liam’s suicide attempt in Coronation Street
MARIA Connor is given horrifying news after son Liam’s suicide attempt in Coronation Street.
The character – played by Samia Longchambon – was left devastated earlier this year when she learned her teenage son Liam was contemplating taking his own life.
Liam (Charlie Wrenshall) was being viciously bullied by school thug Mason Ratcliffe and his cronies.
Thankfully, the schoolboy was stopped from doing anything drastic just in time, and eventually found the strength to help get Mason sent to a Young Offenders facility.
However, in upcoming Coronation Street spoilers, Maria is stunned to get a letter saying Mason is due to be released from prison.
She heads to the police station to ask some questions, unaware that Gary is there with Sarah providing his bank statements.
As Gary comes out of the interview room Maries demands to know what is going on.
Will Gary come clean?
Gary has already landed himself in trouble with his wife after turning to former flame Sarah for mutual support a few months ago.
While Sarah was down in the dumps after partner Damon’s imprisonment, Gary was feeling frustrated by Maria being overprotective towards Liam.
However, the pair had no idea Maria had a secret camera set up to keep an eye on Liam, and discovered Gary consoling Sarah.
Despite it causing further tension in his marriage, Gary went on to help Sarah deal with Nathan Curtis, the man who groomed her daughter Bethany when she was a teenager.
Gary attacked Nathan in a bid to get him to stay away, before Sarah offered him £10,000 to leave Weatherfield for good.
However, she had to borrow the money from Gary, who had some to spare following the sale of the factory.
But now it seems their lies are about to catch them up with DS Swain hot on their tales.
