Maria’s been holding it together for weeks while Gary lay unconscious in Coronation Street, with no clue what actually happened to him. But everything shifts the moment she finds out he’s finally woken up. She races to the hospital, hoping for answers and some relief. Instead, what she walks into leaves her completely stunned.
The situation is worse than she thought, and someone’s been hiding in plain sight, right under everyone’s noses. And if Maria doesn’t move quickly, Lou might just disappear before she can be stopped.
Good News! Gary Wakes Up
Gary’s been unconscious for weeks, and the moment Maria finds out he’s finally come round, she drops everything and heads to the hospital. But when she arrives, relief quickly turns into confusion. The staff tell her someone claiming to be Gary’s wife has been visiting him regularly. That stops Maria in her tracks.
She’s handed a number connected to this mystery woman, and that’s when it all starts to make sense. It’s Lou. She’s been the one sneaking into the hospital, pretending to be Gary’s wife. Maria realises Lou must’ve been keeping a close eye on him, hoping he’d stay unconscious so her attack wouldn’t come to light. But now that he’s awake, Lou’s going to want to vanish before the truth catches up with her.
Maria and David Team Up In Coronation Street
Maria knows she has to act fast, so she rings David from the hospital and quickly brings him into the loop. She needs him to stall Lou, keep her talking, keep her in one place, and most importantly, don’t let her suspect anything.
David agrees, no questions asked. And it lines up with what Jack P. Shepherd, who plays David, teased that he’d be involved in a story with Mick and Lou, and now fans are finally seeing what he meant. While David plays it cool at the salon, Maria heads straight over. She’s done waiting. Now that she knows the truth, she wants to look Lou in the eye and make sure she pays for everything she’s done to Gary.
Lou’s On Edge But Maria’s Almost There
Back at the salon, Lou starts to get twitchy. She can feel something’s not quite right, and it looks like she’s thinking about making a quick exit. But David does a solid job keeping her distracted, just long enough.
Maria’s nearly there, and she’s ready. With Gary awake and the evidence finally adding up, Lou’s not getting away this time. After everything that’s happened, Maria’s determined to see this through and put a stop to it all. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street spoilers and storyline updates.
