Samia Smith: I'm in no rush to join the baby boom on the soap

Coronation Street star Samia Smith says she is in no rush to join the baby boom on the soap.
So far Alison King (Carla Conner), Jane Danson (Leanne Battersby), and Wanda Opalinska (Vicki) are pregnant.
Jack P Shepherd (David Platt), Ryan Thomas (Jason Grimshaw) and Andy Whyment (Kirk Sutherland) are all fathers-to-be.
But 26-year-old Samia — who plays Maria Sutherland on the ITV1 soap — has insisted she is just enjoying being happily married and has no plans to follow in her colleagues’ footsteps for the time being.
Samia said: “I think I’m going to be babysitting for all of those new arrivals before too long.
“Everyone on the show seems to be pregnant at the moment.
“I think the bosses are dreading the phone ringing these days in case it’s another one of us cast members saying we are pregnant.
“I do love babies — but I am in no rush to have them for the time being.” source
