Coronation Street spoilers: Maria Connor causes a scene in the Rovers

Maria Connor drowns her sorrows when Ali dumps her

Coronation Street's Maria Connor apologises to Ali for flying off the handle, explaining she was simply worried about Liam, but she is shocked when he tells her it isn’t working between them in Monday's second episode (8.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Later, a distraught Maria calls by Ali’s to find him spaced out. She assumes he’s been drinking and unsuccessfully begs for another chance, which abruptly ends with Ali telling her he doesn’t love her. Gary calms down a tipsy Maria as she rows with Michelle over her parenting skills, suggesting both her sons are a disaster. Ryan insists Ali should seek professional help for his addiction.
