Tracy Barlow will be hoping to win back her ex-partner Steve McDonald when she returns to Coronation Street later this year, it has been revealed.
The Weatherfield superbitch is due to make a dramatic comeback on Christmas Eve after a plot twist sees her released from prison, where she is currently serving a 15-year sentence for murder.
Tracy clashed with Steve's wife Becky at Blanche's funeral earlier this year, and there looks likely to be more tension between the two women once the jailed character makes her return.
Speaking to Inside Soap, Corrie's series producer Phil Collinson explained: "2011 will be Tracy's year, and she's going to cause all sorts of mayhem on the Street.
"At the heart of it, she loves Steve. He's the father of her daughter Amy and she still carries a torch for him.
"Tracy's back for Steve - but she hasn't bargained on Becky, who has grown up fighting and is not prepared to let her perfect life go. There will be plenty of fireworks!"
Katherine Kelly, who plays Becky, recently predicted that "all hell" will break loose following Tracy's comeback.
