Coronation Street Shocker: Beloved Character Makes Epic Return That Fans Have Been Waiting For!
Tracy Barlow has been sorely missed on Coronation Street since her departure earlier this year, but that absence is finally about to be filled.
Yes, folks, it’s official—Tracy (Kate Ford) is returning to the cobbles next week.
Back in April, soap fans were heartbroken when the Weatherfield legend split from her husband Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and left for a new life with her lover, Tommy Orpington.
While Tracy has been soaking up the sun in Spain, life in Weatherfield has taken some surprising turns. Her father, Ken Barlow (William Roache), has had to face his declining health, and her daughter, Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney), has become entangled in Leanne Battersby’s (Jane Danson) dangerous involvement with The Institute, a mysterious cult organization.
When Tracy returns, she’s stunned to discover that Ken has hired Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) as his carer.
Tensions quickly rise when Cassie takes offense at Tracy’s remarks, leading to a frosty reception. However, there’s more beneath the surface of Tracy’s unexpected homecoming.
While she claims her visit is all about seeing Amy, Ken suspects that Tracy’s return may have deeper motives.
Tracy may also face an awkward reunion with Steve, who tried to win her back just as she was heading to Spain. Since their split, Steve has dabbled in online dating with mixed success, leaving fans to wonder if there’s still hope for one of Weatherfield’s most iconic couples.
