Coronation Street spoiler video: Maria Connor paralysed with terror by Liam’s suicide plan
Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) is soon given the devastating news son Liam (Charlie Wrenshall) is having suicidal ideations in Coronation Street.
Over the past few months, the young lad has been brutally and horrifically bullied by Mason (Luca Toolan) and his gang.
From having a knife pulled on him to receiving vile messages online, and even being filmed while he had rubbish thrown over him, Liam’s ordeal hasn’t stopped – and things aren’t about to change.
After suspecting her son is being bullied, Maria will create a fake SendPX account to get an insight into Liam’s life on social media. When she gets onto the platform, Maria is horrified to discover the extent of his bullying and believes the only option is for Liam to change schools.
However, in this new video, Maria soon realises the extent of Liam’s mindset, quickly establishing moving schools isn’t going to fix this problem.
A troubled Gary (Mikey North) visits Maria at the salon and wonders why she hasn’t been checking her phone.
He breaks the news to Maria that during a visit to the school, he was informed by a teacher that Liam has been googling ways to end his life.
Dropping everything, Maria rushes out of the salon, closely followed by Gary.
They will head back to the flat and find Liam, who thankfully hasn’t decided to go through with his plan.
‘Maria is really paranoid, and understandably so, given that Liam is from the Connor family and we have all been through similar when Aidan Connor (Liam’s cousin) committed suicide, so I don’t think she will be able to leave Liam alone without fearing the worst’, Samia Longchambon said, discussing this storyline.
‘This is going to be an ongoing issue for Liam. Maria and Gary are considering all options from homeschooling to counselling. Of course when it comes to mental health, there’s unfortunately a massively long waiting list.
‘I think the great thing about this storyline is that we are doing it in real time. We aren’t rushing this at all and doing everything as it would happen.’
