Template:3 July

3rd July 2009: Heavily pregnant Maria Connor went into labour while on a walk with Tony Gordon at Crosby beach. Tony couldn't get a signal on his phone and as the beach was deserted he had no choice but to deliver the baby himself. After carrying Maria over the sand dunes to a beach hut, Tony tried to make Maria comfortable as her contractions came faster. He delivered a baby boy and managed to get a signal on his phone so that he could phone for an ambulance. Later in the year, Maria would find out that Tony had arranged the death of her husband Liam, and regret allowing Tony to get so close to her.
