Maria gets ready to throw the towel in, in Corrie

Can Phil help her?

As Maria poses for photos in Victoria Garden, Maria is soon forgotten as the journalist turns his attention to her nemesis Bernard, who has appeared with two footballers, James and Ashley.

Maria admits that she's ready to throw the towel in as Bernard is going to win with his cheap tactics. But Phill reckons he may be able to help.
