View Full Version : Tracy Barlow
People around that area are not going to keep that business afloat. But writers will make it work sonehow like they made the idea of the bistro work
Coronation Street schemer Tracy Barlow is up to her old tricks again next week when she scams Nick Tilsley out of 20% of his business. But this time it’s not her that will benefit directly, she pulls the scam as a way of trying to win back Robert Preston.
It all kicks off after Robert tells Nick he’d like to invest in the bistro, pointing out how much extra business he’s brought in since he joined the business.
Nick’s not keen and Robert’s annoyed when he refuses to even consider letting him invest. When a rival restaurateur calls in and makes it clear he’s there to poach Robert, Nick sends him away with a flea in his ear, determined to keep hold of his best chef.
Zeedan Nazir lets slip that a competitor called in to offer him a job and Robert’s furious to realise Nick failed to pass on the message sparking a war of words between the two men.
Leanne Battersby ushers Nick and Robert into the kitchen demanding that they sort out their differences. Robert gives Nick an ultimatum, either he lets him buy into the business or he’ll leave.
Nick then announces that he and Robert have struck a deal and the chef will be buying 20% of the business.
Tracy’s thrilled when word spreads across the cobbles and reveals to Robert that the rival restaurateur was actually an old friend and she merely duped Nick into thinking he was about to lose his fabulous chef.
Will Robert reward Tracy’s scheming with a kiss?

How amazing is it that she has got the shop looking like that in days.
Yes AND affording it ! She was cleaned out by Tony not so long back and how she pays Todd a wage and takes one herself is a mystery . A back street second hand shop. !

The Daily Mirror's preview: "Tracy's new business has been set up at warp speed. She's delighted to open her flower shop, while we're wondering where she found the time!"
Of course this ridiculous storyline has absolutely nothing to do with the multi thousands of pounds Interflora will be pouring in to the Granada coffers.....

IF used to be one of the strictest managed brands I'd ever seen. They'd be picky about how you mentioned them. I assume someone there has relaxed or personally agreed storylines and all context for flowers. Expect happy nice things for the flower shop.
They never really mentioned the Visa product placement when they introduced the cash machine in Dev´s shop ... doubt that IF gets mentioned but their sign will be prominently placed in shots
They all go to the pub, bistro and cafe on a regular basis. If my house was across the road i would go home and eat! Is interflora sponsoring corrie?
I thought she would name florist deirdre's sonething or other. Preston's petals not good as even if she ends up with him it wont be long term

Coronation Street's Tracy Barlow is held captive at Underworld in shock scenes next week, but things could be about to get even worse for her after she suffers a new health scare.
As viewers know, Tracy only has one working kidney, and now actress Kate Ford has revealed the character is set to suffer a life-threatening infection on the soap.
Speaking to the Radio Times, Ford said: "Tracy only has the one kidney and when she gets an infection, she thinks that everyone will be there for her. But they aren't.
"She realises that she's pushed everyone too far. Even her daughter Amy, who she took for granted, doesn't want to know. Amy says, 'I've seen good mothers and you're not one of them'."
Ford added: "Even though Ken has been pushed too far, he does go and see her at the hospital - she is his daughter after all and she is at death's door.
"Since Deirdre died, I feel that Ken and Tracy have become closer. And I do love Bill Roache, so it's always nice to have scenes with him."
Will Tracy survive the scare? Watch the drama unfold on Coronation Street over the next few weeks.

Yes, it's typical of the heavy handed unoriginal writing so beloved of soap writers. Suddenly create lots of enemies and then have the person attacked so there are lots of suspects. Yasmeen, Johnny, Jenny, Carla etc. etc. The main point in Tracy's case though was it wasn't necessary to create lots of new enemies as she had enough already!

Coronation Street's explosive 9pm week really hots up on Wednesday night (May 25) as Carla Connor considers killing her arch-rival Tracy Barlow.
Carla (Alison King) has endured months of Tracy's never-ending plans to get revenge against her, but it seems that she's now finally had enough after the schemer ruined her wedding.
As her happy ceremony lies in tatters thanks to Tracy, an emotional Carla prepares to flee the cobbles in her car to escape the humiliation.
However, just as Carla is about to go, she spots Tracy on the pavement and decides that it's time to even the score in shocking fashion - ruthlessly pressing her foot down on the accelerator.
Will Carla really go through with knocking down Tracy?

Kate Ford has opened up about what she thought of her storylines on Coronation Street last year - and she wasn't exactly happy about them.
Talking to The Sun on Sunday, Ford revealed that she felt Tracy Barlow was becoming "one-dimensional" in 2016, but added that this year, her character seems to be getting "back on track".
"The stories are making her a bit more human again. And I like the fact that she doesn't have a female arch-enemy at the moment," she explained. Really?? :nono:
"For a while the scriptwriters would have Tracy fight with someone, then they'd leave, and they'd give her another arch-enemy. It got a bit old. But recently I haven't had that. Instead, she's got friendships.
"The big dramatic scenes might be good to watch but as an actress I prefer the more intricate scenes, the small moments, not the big ones."
Ford has certainly had some big moments on the cobbles over her 15 years in Weatherfield, trying to sell her baby, faking a twin miscarriage and killing off a boyfriend just to mention a few.
And it was a scene linked to one of those storylines that ranks as one of Ford's favourites on Corrie, when Tracy confessed to Deirdre that she'd killed Charlie Stubbs.
"I worked so closely with Annie [Anne Kirkbride] on that scene. It was just the two of us. We rehearsed and we were given the time to do it," she recalled. "After 15 years, you forget scenes you've done. But there are some you will always remember."
As for what Tracy could do next, Ford has an idea. "She hasn't been a prostitute yet - maybe she could open her own brothel," she joked.

Is Kate leaving?
Is Kate leaving?
Sadly not
Lock her up and throw away the key. Too boring her getting away with everything
After last night's (April 28) Coronation Street saw Tracy Barlow going on the run with Rob Donovan, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Kate Ford might be taking a break from Weatherfield.
But Kate has confirmed to the Daily Express that she doesn't plan on saying goodbye to the cobbles just yet – although that doesn't mean she hasn't thought about it.
"We all get itchy feet, but you've got to be practical," she admitted. "I've got a family and bills to pay and a good job here at Coronation Street.
"It doesn't mean I won't do other things one day, but right now I have a child to support, so I have to prioritise."
In scenes that are set to air next week, the Barlow family begin to fear the worst for Tracy and her daughter Amy after they flee Weatherfield with Tracy's killer-ex Rob (Marc Bayliss).
With Rob on the run, and the Barlows suspecting that Tracy may have scarpered with Amy to avoid questioning from the police about Ken, it looks like things are going to get very difficult for Tracy.
"She thinks running away would be a way of protecting Amy and that they could all be together," Kate continues. "She's got this idea in her head and has built on it and romanticised it. You know what she's like – she goes over the top!
"Even Rob is horrified. Tracy has tricked him into Amy going with them and he can't believe it. He thinks she's gone crazy, and she has – but she's frightened for Amy. She really does believe that Amy did it."
Corrie launched its 'Who Pushed Ken?' mystery last month, naming Tracy as an official suspect alongside Peter, Adam, Daniel, Sinead and Phelan.
Digital Spy
I really couldn't give a fig who pushed Ken downstairs.
At least we know Tracy did not do it.
She's claiming responsibility 'cos she thinks Amy did it - I reckon Rob did it - we still don't know when he re-appeared. Maybe Ken will get his memory back.......
She's claiming responsibility 'cos she thinks Amy did it - I reckon Rob did it - we still don't know when he re-appeared. Maybe Ken will get his memory back.......
I thought it was 50/50 in the end. Half because she thought Amy had done it, and half because she had to account for why she fled to the cottage without mentioning Rob if she didn't want him to go back to prison.
I think Daniel (there's just something shifty about him and I don't think we've seen all of his dark side yet, plus Denise is coming back) or Amy (she didn't really deal with her emotions over Steve/Michelle/Ruairi.) There was that part where she was trying to contact Michelle and Michelle didn't get back to her. She could have snapped and attacked Ken (her and Tracy heard what he said about Deirdre at around that time) before realising she'd gone too far and starting to get back to normal.
I'm probably completely wrong; the only whodunnit I ever guessed correctly was Who Killed Frank Foster (in any soap.) That and soaps don't do aftermath so there's probably no reason why Amy didn't want to be around Steve and then she's back speaking to him with nothing in between.
Tracy's false confession is probably the only thing that would get Amy to own up though.
She's claiming responsibility 'cos she thinks Amy did it - I reckon Rob did it - we still don't know when he re-appeared. Maybe Ken will get his memory back.......

Looks kike that is the plan
Coronation Street's Tracy Barlow and Steve McDonald to reunite at Christmas – but not everyone's thrilled
Hold on to your hats, Coronation Street fans – Tracy Barlow and Steve McDonald are set to reunite for the festive season. Erm, Merry Christmas?
Despite a long, long list of failed romances between them – including their own – The Sun is reporting that the once-classic couple are due to reconcile later this year.
Not everyone is looking forward to it, mind you.
Namely, Tracy and Steve's daughter Amy, who's not only worried about the almost inevitable impending doom, but also the diminished return on presents.
"Amy's not happy about it, because she knows that they're both trouble and on a very shallow level she's used to things being as they are," Corrie boss Kate Oates explained.
"She gets two birthday presents, two Christmas presents, she gets two sets of Christmas presents as kids of broken homes do."
On a more serious note, Kate also revealed that Amy fears her parents' latest attempt at love will 'implode'. "They're both walking car crashes," she added.
While we're still secretly rooting for Steve and Becky's reunion, Kate is actually a big fan of Steve and Tracy. Or 'Stacy', as we're now calling them.
"You can see what sort of thing has drawn them back together – they've both been around the block so many times the pair of them that actually in a way, maybe they should be brought back together for a while," she said.
We'll just have to wait and see.
:thumbsdow

oronation Street: Tracy Barlow turns bad again as she targets Angie
Tracy Barlow looks set to revisit her ruthless side again - and Angie is her target of choice as she seeks to defend her wrongly accused pal Mary Taylor.
Jude and Angie wrongly believe that Mary has been responsible for baby George's numerous hospital visits but Mary's friends - and the entire Corrie audience - know that she isn't capable of such a thing.
It's easier said than done when it comes to proving it though and when Mary hears that Jude and Angie are taking George back to South Africa, she is gutted.
This is where Tracy comes in - she takes drastic action to get them to miss their flight by locking Angie in the florist storeroom but even if they don't make the plane, the problems are rooted far deeper than that as Jude admits to Mary that he can't help but resent her for abandoning him as a baby.
However, Norris Cole is determined to fight for Mary and comes out dressed as Batman and wearing a Grandfathers for Justice banner. He climbs the steps to the factory roof and stages a protest - what an utter hero.
However, the situation turns serious when a panicked Bethany Platt arrives on the scene having taken George for a walk and tells everyone he is sick and shaking. As George falls ill again, it's clearly not Mary's fault - so what is wrong with him and will he be okay?
And can Mary and her family build bridges or has too much happened?
Coronation Street star Kate Ford has promised that Tracy Barlow's feud with Carla Connor is finally being put on the backburner.
The animosity between the two women once dominated the ITV soap's stories, but while they'll probably never be the best of friends, we won't see them at war again when Carla returns at Christmas.
Speaking about the show's much-anticipated comeback, Kate revealed that her character isn't too happy to see Carla again – no surprises there.

Kate explained: "I did a scene recently with Ali King and it just felt so bizarre, because Tracy has kind of moved on a little bit from that.
"Then it was Tracy and Carla sniping at each other again and it did feel quite weird actually. But I don't think that's going to be a main focus this time."
She continued: "For me, I really enjoy where the character's at right now. Tracy was going a little bit too pantomimey. Just the way she was always being the bitch. Now I get to play other parts of her and it's easier for me.

"Tracy's one of the nicer people in the street now, I think that's fair to say. There are some horrible people there! She's friends with Beth and Mary. I love those scenes with Mary and I love working with Patti Clare as well.
"Tracy and Mary's characters are so different, but I imagine that Tracy used to bully the Mary type at school, and Mary would have wanted to be in Tracy's gang. All of a sudden they realise that they actually really quite like each other and they're really great friends now."
One of Corrie's big Christmas storylines will see Tracy unexpectedly reunite with Steve McDonald, much to the disapproval of the pair's daughter Amy.
Asked how she reacted to the storyline twist, Kate replied: "I would say shocked. It's sexual, mostly. It's better the devil you know. They've run out of options! But they haven't really counted on Amy's reaction."

I really would like to know what the scriptwriters are on when they sit together and come up with this crap. Corrie can do some things so very well, Bethany's grooming, David's rape, Sinead's cancer... but this to me appears salacious, nothing else. Are we going to see Tracy suddenly doubt her sexuality or is this going to be portrayed as a drunken one-night stand??? Deplorable storyline imo :thumbsdow: :nono:

I get it, when theres nothing else to shock, we had the vicar and the tow-rag, the young girl and mature woman, so lets do a straight woman with a gay woman, could be worse,
we could Ken having a fling with Asha, that would tick a few innapropriate subjects! :sick:

I don't know how the scriptwriters keep coming up with these novel ideas.
I'm still waiting for the day someone runs out of milk or burns their dinner in the oven or gets caught in a traffic jam when rushing to get somewhere urgently or leaves their mobile phone around so someone else can pick it up and read a message about him/herself......

I have just remembered .. she is having a fling with Paula.... :thumbsdow
Is that all the build up we're going to get - a few brief scenes of the two of them talking about Amy's work experience? The most annoying thing about this stupid storyline is that Paula and Tracy have never had any interaction before, no shared storylines and no mutual friends/acquaintances (apart from Adam perhaps) and now they're about to have a fling?!
I'm still hoping this was all a misunderstanding and nothing happened. After all, when, in all her years on the Street, has Tracy shown any interest in women? And this stupid retcon about how she slept with women when she was in prison - seriously, is that the best they can do?

where is she?
Apparently working overtime in the shop according to Steve yesterday.
affair with ex footballer now decorator tommy confirmed
Opening up on Tracy's reasons for seeking excitement outside of her marriage, Kate said Tracy was underwhelmed when Steve gave her a neck pillow for her birthday.
"Massively underwhelmed, she looks at him and thinks, 'I?m done with this. Is that what I?m worth to you, a heated bag that you got yesterday on offer at the garden centre? How old do you think I am?' It?s a turning point. She realises how fed up she is with her life.
She continued: "She?s being ruthless and brutal. Tommy is good looking. He?s got a bit of glamour as an ex-footballer and she fancies him. She?s like 'God, yeah, I?m really bored, this is fun!'"

Tracy wants to have a relationship with Tommy and arranges a meal with them and Amy
So.... has she left for good or just a long rest? Weird exit .... not missed her but I presume she will be back at some time because Mary is looking after Preston's Petals in her name?

Coronation Street is set to provide a sad update for Steve McDonald about estranged wife Tracy's return.
Tracy departed the cobbles earlier this year to go and live in Spain with her lover Tommy Orpington, after conducting an affair with the former footballer behind Steve's back.
In new scenes set to air next week, Steve is pressured by Tim to have a night out to mark his 50th birthday.
However, when Sally shows Tim an invitation to the unveiling of Tommy's bronze bust at the Weatherfield County ground, he realises it clashes with Steve's celebrations.
Tim comes clean that he is no longer free for his 50th, though Steve takes this to mean that a surprise party is being planned.
He's further convinced when he overhears Sally telling Tim at the cab office that she's heading into town to buy an outfit for an event the following day.
Amy later tells Steve that Tracy has cancelled her visit from Spain, leaving him quietly gutted as his plans to try and reconcile with her are now dead.
Steve asks Cassie, Kevin and Tyrone in the Rovers about the surprise party, though their denials leave him more convinced that they're bluffing and something is in the works.
Will Steve believe the truth before it's too late?
In other Coronation Street news, it has been confirmed that Abi Webster will be taking a break from Weatherfield next week amid her deepfake video storyline.
I have not missed her, she can stay away for good as far as I am concerned..
surely she'd return to see ken after his fall
surely she'd return to see ken after his fall
Doubt it, once left they never return for any storyline, be it prison, serious illness or death....
While Tracy is only making a brief return over the summer, sources previously confirmed to Metro.co.uk earlier this year that Kate?s exit was only temporary, with the character of Tracy always tipped to return eventually.
?Tracy?s a Corrie institution all on her own ? she will never be far from the cobbles even when she lives halfway across the world. She makes a brief trip back for a week later this summer to visit her family and deal with some Barlow family drama?, a source explained to The Sun.

Coronation Street's Tracy McDonald will once again leave the cobbled streets of Weatherfield, but not before she has offered some parting advice to Steve.
Tracy returned to her home last month after some time in Spain with her boyfriend Tommy Orpington, though not all has been well as she harboured some doubts about the situation.
She eventually decided to give Tommy another chance, with Monday?s (September 16) scenes seeing Amy, Ken and Cassie say their goodbyes before she heads to the airport.
She has a word with her estranged husband Steve before she heads off, however, telling him that he should pursue a relationship with Cassie given their obvious feelings for each other. Will Steve heed her advice?
It won?t be the last time we see Tracy on Corrie, however, with actor Kate Ford confirming that the latest exit is merely a temporary one before a lengthier comeback later in the year.
Though Tracy?s absence will not be permanent, Weatherfield recently lost an important resident as Paul Foreman sadly passed away following a year-long battle with Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
The character?s death brought an end to Peter Ash?s six-year stint in the role, with the actor sharing a heartfelt farewell message to fans of the soap following the character?s death.
?So, my time on Corrie has come to an end," he began in the video. "I just want to say ? thank you to everyone for the support you?ve given me over the years and with the storylines I?ve done. I really appreciate it. We?d be nothing without our fans, so thank you very much. I?ve had the time of my life filming Corrie. I?m going to miss everybody, but I?m excited to see what?s next [for me]. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everybody for watching.?
Sounds permanent or at least long term to me....

Coronation Street will air another return for Tracy McDonald next week, as she joins forces with her family to help Ken Barlow through a health scare.
Tracy has spent much of this year living in Spain with her new boyfriend, former Weatherfield County star footballer Tommy Orpington. However, when she returned to the cobbles over the summer to visit daughter Amy Barlow, it became clear that she was feeling neglected due to Tommy?s busy new coaching job.
After hearing a message from Tommy in which he pleaded for her to come back, Tracy agreed to give Tommy another chance and returned to Spain.
In episodes that will air next week, the scene is set for Tracy's return when Ken comes back from his holiday in Porto with his carer, Cassie Plummer.
After he gets home, Ken admits to his family that he's looked over his finances and he can't afford to keep employing Cassie, leaving the family relieved. Ken later thanks Cassie for her services but tells her that he won't need her to act as his carer anymore.
However, Ken later begins to feel unwell and he gets back in contact with Cassie, saying that he's willing to pay her an extra pound an hour if she'll come back to work.
But the rest of the family decide they're not having any of it. Tracy soon shows up in Weatherfield and, flanked by Adam Barlow and Steve McDonald, she tells Cassie to get out and stop taking advantage of Ken.
Tracy decides that she'll take care of Ken from now on. But Ken soon experiences a nosebleed and tells his family that he's feeling terrible, leading them to rush Ken to hospital.
When Steve later sees Cassie again, he makes it clear that she's sacked once and for all.
But is this really the end of Cassie's job, and where does it leave her and Steve after their recent passionate encounter?
Tracy's latest return is expected to be a lengthier one than her previous brief stint over the summer.
