View Full Version : Amy Barlow McDonald
'Coronation Street' mum Tracy Barlow is set to abandon her baby girl while she goes out drinking - in a shocking festive storyline.
Tracy, played by actress Kate Ford, can't find anyone to look after the tot on New Year's Eve and decides to leave Amy at home in bed while she parties with Charlie Stubbs at the Rovers.
While she sees in 2006 with Charlie, actor Bill Ward, and other revellers, viewers will see Amy at home alone - and won't know if anything happens to the little girl.
An insider is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "It is very powerful stuff and echoes the real-life issue of children being left alone at Christmas. Babysitters at this time are always at a premium and the temptation to leave children at home, no matter how briefly, sometimes becomes irresistible for parents wanting to party.
"A lot of Corrie fans will find the scenes disturbing, especially when the cameras return to the baby all alone in an empty house. Kate admitted when she found out about the storyline that she found it really chilling."

Oh My God,Poor Amy!!
I also can't believe that people can actually do this,if i were a mum,i would never ever do this,and i would be worried sick ever second as soon as i leave the house!!
I also hope that Steve gets Amy,Tracy isn't a good parent at all,and Steve will take care of Amy,and won't abandon her!!

Oooh, I hate Tracey.
I don't know how anyone could leave their kid home alone like that. It makes me want to weep. Sadly, it happens in real life too.
I don't know how anyone can do that either. I have 2 kids and I am even wary about leaving them in sitting room if I have to go to the kitchen.. I don't think I could leave a baby on her own to go to a party!! I hope Tracey gets caught and Steve gets Amy... Tracey is too selfish to be a mum

How old is the girl who plays her? I dont think i've once heard her utter a single word. shes just THERE. surely they could give her a few lines now and again, its not like shes a toddler anymore. also why the long face all the time? she never seems to smile :confused:
CrazyLea
28-02-2009, 22:45
No disrepect to her, but she's the worst child actress I've seen in a soap.. I don't know whether that's the writers not given her lines.. or whether that's her.. but like you say, she never smiles, so I'm guessing it's her..
Chloe O'brien
28-02-2009, 22:54
I think she must be around four years old given the time-scale of when Steve had an affair with Tracey and it must be almost two years since Tracey was jailed. I agree what you say for a child her as she doesn't say a lot and talking from experience my Marley could talk the hind legs of a donkey at 1 1/2 years. They need to let her chat away in her own in the background then edit it in to the show to make it more realistic.
I swear shes suppose to be like 3 or 4 by now
Chloe O'brien
28-02-2009, 23:47
I agree Abbie and going by Marley when she was that age man could she waffle. If she was'nt doing her Budwiser inpresistion ''(What's ~Up) then she would just chat away.
It was her 5th birthday the other day and I have always said that they need to change the kid that is playing her. She hardly speaks and always looks petrified when she actually is in a scene. I am sure she is a lovely girl in real life but she is no actress.

she's at school for god's sake, she should be able to speak by now! the kid who plays Joshua Peacock is amazing so that proves Corrie can get some good kids in. and i don't care but she just looks incredibly stupid, standing there looking vacant the whole time.
:eek: 5!!!! they need a new kid to play her!
Did anyone see last nights Corrie, can you please explain to me what Amy said to Liz, while they were at the table. 3 times I rewind and still could not understand what she said. Does she have speech problems?:wub:

The kid spoke but as I didn't have the subtitles on when viewing the show I couldn't tell you what she said so unfortunately it came across as a mumble. If I end up watching the episode again on ITV 2 or 3 I will see if I can understand what was being said if anything

22-08-2009, 21:46
Yes at breakfast time with Liz I thought at first it was about the spread that Amy had on her toast but I missed what Amy said back
Thats probably her first word you know
does she ever visit her mum?
GossipGirl
22-08-2009, 22:06
I think she did once after Becky told her her mum was in prison and not a fancy hotel like Steve had said
I was shocked when she sppoke to.
I thought it was "why do you alwasys where tops to small" after liz had said to her something about why do you do something at the table. Could be wrong though.

CORRIE bosses have axed the little girl who plays Amy Barlow for a SIXTH actress.
Elle Mulvaney replaces Amber Chadwick as the six-year-old.
She will feature in dramatic scenes when her murderous mum Tracy Barlow returns to the Street for Blanche Hunt's funeral.
Sources say bosses decided the plot needed a "really good little actress".
The ITV1 soap has a habit of swapping actors and Tracy herself has been played by four actresses - with Kate Ford taking over in 2002.
Newborn Amy was played by Holly Bower in early 2004. Rebecca Pike did a 17-month stint until June 2005.
Louisa Morris then appeared for four months in the role before being replaced by Madison Hampson.
Amber played the part for nearly four years.
A source said: "Amber was lovely but Elle is a very natural little actress."
The funeral scenes in May see a graveside fight between Tracy and Becky McDonald.

oh thank god, it's taken them long enough! i don't care if she's only a kid, that little girl is completely vacant and is totally shown up by the other kids in the show like Simon and Josh.
Last week, Coronation Street bosses took the decision to recast the character of Amy Barlow.
Amber Chadwick has played the role for four years but rumour has it that producer Kim Crothwer had been wanting to switch actresses for some time. Chadwick's parents, however, apparently convinced bosses to give her another chance.
The switch, however, has now been confirmed.
Soap newcomer Ella Mulvaney will make her screen debut as Amy around the time of Blanche Hunt's funeral, which also marks the return of her screen mum, Corrie superbitch Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford).
Here's the first picture of Ella on location with co-star Alex Bain (Simon Barlow).
She looks a lot more cheerful than Amber ever did :)

Yeah I agree. About time ha. Amy was a bit.. um boring.. she's a bit shy I think (the actress). Looking forward to a new Amy. If she is any good as Simon is then yay :cheer:.
Simon is just the best ever.. I don't want him to ever grow up. He's tooooo cute!!
Coronation Street series editor Louise Sutton has admitted that she feels "a responsibility" when recasting young actors.
The serial recently replaced Amber Chadwick with Elle Mulvaney for the part of Amy Barlow.
Sutton told Radio Times: "When a child actor starts very young, you never know how they're going to turn out. When you're casting a 3 or 4-year-old, you really just ask yourself, 'Can they walk, can they talk and do they look the part?'
"But there comes a point when you're trying to tell stories featuring a young actor that are just too much for a child under 6. The brilliant Alex Bain, who plays Simon Barlow, is 8, but he plays a 6-year-old."
She continued: "It would be really odd if the character changed from one scene to the next, but as long as the character is off screen for a bit, it's weird for a couple of weeks and then it's accepted.
"Personally, I feel a responsibility not just for the child actor's career but also for their self-worth. It can be seen as rejection at an emotionally precarious time in their lives."
She is a lot better :D
I didnt know this was the 6th actress to play her!
Coronation Street’s Steve McDonald and Tracy Barlow are set for yet another harrowing storyline, as they manage to lose their only daughter Amy Barlow during a day trip to Blackpool.
The usually warring couple agree to call a truce and will treat their child to a family day out at the beachside destination, however their dreams of an idyllic trip will be ruined when Amy (Elle Mulvaney) vanishes while playing in the resort’s arcades.
After sneaking away from their nosy neighbours in Weatherfield to spend the day together as a family, treacherous Tracy and Steve – who is married to bolshie barmaid Becky McDonald (Katherine Kelly) – will be terrified their youngster has been kidnapped.
While the warring duo are reunited with Amy in a matter of hours, the worst is yet to come when they realise their car has been towed away in the process.
However, when they accept they will have to spend the night in the bright lights of Blackpool, feisty femme fatale Tracy seizes the perfect opportunity to try it on with Steve.
A ‘Corrie’ insider told the Daily Star newspaper: “Steve’s left seriously sweating. He’s lied to Becky about where he is and then he has to spend the night with Tracy, who tries to get him in her bed,
“If Becky finds out, there will be hell to pay.”

Tourism chiefs in Blackpool are divided over news of a forthcoming Coronation Street storyline which will be set in the town.
Last week, it was revealed that Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) will soon pay a visit to the seaside resort with their daughter Amy, only to face a worrying time when she goes missing during their trip.
The new plot comes after Peter Barlow's young son Simon also briefly went missing in Blackpool after wandering off in the town last year.
Speaking of the upcoming story, StayBlackpool's Claire Smith told the Blackpool Gazette: "One half of me thinks any publicity is good publicity, but the other half of me thinks, 'Why do they keep losing children?' I think it gives the wrong impression, especially when we are trying to create a family friendly image."
However, Maxine Callow, cabinet member for tourism and regeneration on Blackpool Council, said that she was pleased to hear about the planned scenes.
She said: "It's the sort of publicity we could never ever buy as a council. Coronation Street have been very good servants to Blackpool over the years and this is wonderful free publicity for the town. If it's showing some wonderful shots of Blackpool, the new promenade and The Tower it will be fantastic.
"If they've got this [lost child] storyline, it's not just because they are in Blackpool, they could re-write it and put it anywhere."
Natalie Wyatt, head of VisitBlackpool, added: "We work very closely with the writers from Coronation Street, trying to where possible influence the storyline. At the end of the day, it's not real life, it's a soap and we've no control over them. The fact they are using Blackpool we see as a positive."

SCHEMING Corrie killer Tracy Barlow will be accused of poisoning daughter Amy to try to win back her ex Steve McDonald in a sensational plot.
Amy, seven, will contract a mysterious illness, forcing dad Steve (Simon Gregson) and mum Tracy (Kate Ford) to rush her to the doctor for tests.
But medics are baffled - and Steve's new wife Becky (Katherine Kelly) becomes convinced Amy (Elle Mulvaney) is being harmed by her own mum.
A source said of the big May plotline: "Becky loves Amy and can't bear to see her suffering. She also can't bear seeing Steve and Tracy together.
"She is jealous and she quickly realises that Tracy is feeding off the attention Steve is giving them both."
Becky confronts Tracy - and the pair row furiously.
Becky calls her rival the world's worst mum.
She reminds everyone how Tracy tried to sell Amy to Roy and Hayley Cropper when she was born, and how she missed years of Amy's life while banged up for boyfriend Charlie Stubbs' murder.
The source continued: "Becky can handle herself but Tracy is a dangerous enemy to make.
"If Steve believes Tracy over Becky, it could signal the end of their marriage."
(c) The Sun
Looks like she could be liviving up to her other nickname. TOXIC TRACY
Steve puts his marriage to Becky at risk on Coronation Street next month when he secretly heads to Blackpool with Tracy and Amy.
A tricky situation for the pub landlord begins this Friday when Tracy hears that Steve and Becky have planned a day out with Max. Deciding to cause some trouble, Tracy suddenly agrees to lift Steve's ban on seeing Amy - starting with a day trip which will clash with his plans for Max.
After struggling with the dilemma, Steve decides to put Amy first for once and agrees to visit Blackpool with her and Tracy. Before leaving, he lies to Becky by claiming that they'll have to cancel their family trip because he has to work.
Later, as Steve arrives in the seaside resort with Tracy and their daughter, the atmosphere is strained but he eventually starts to relax and enjoys the day. However, events begin to conspire against him when Amy wanders off, leading to a panic.
Steve and Tracy later find Amy safe and well, but when they decide to head back to Steve's cab, they discover it's been stolen. A shocked Steve is then left with no choice but to stay overnight with Tracy.
After Amy has been put to bed that night, the wine flows and Tracy makes a move on Steve by going in for a kiss. Will Steve respond? And how long will it take before Becky discovers that he's lied to her about his whereabouts?

Coronation Street star Anne Kirkbride became upset last week while filming violent scenes for the show, it has been claimed.
The actress, who plays Deirdre Barlow in the ITV1 soap, is said to have found it difficult to watch Becky *McDonald (Katherine Kelly) smash Deirdre's living room up with a hammer.
According to the Sunday Mirror, she said: "Look what they are doing to my house... look what they are doing to it. It's so horrible. I can't bear to see this," and was taken to the green room by concerned co-stars to calm down.
"Anne is known to be emotional but these scenes *really got to her and she obviously found it very hard to handle seeing the Barlows' house being trashed," a source said. "It's only a set, but in fairness she has spent a large part of her life in that front room.
"She was in a terrible way, absolutely *wailing her eyes out. These were some of the most violent scenes many can remember. In all Anne had to take about four or five breaks."
A Corrie spokesman said: "We are unaware of any incident disrupting filming."
The scenes will air next month when Becky launches an attack on rival Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford). Kelly had to wear special safety clothing while filming the plot.
Writers have apparently taken inspiration from The Shining, as Becky shouts "Heeere's Becky!" when smashing through the Barlows' front door. "It sends a chill down the spine," the source added.
Kirkbride allegedly collapsed in tears while on a photoshoot last year.

The poor luvvie...
i once got lost in blackpool !!! when i was a kid
Steve McDonald surely he should be up for dad of the year, bless him, he tries his hardest but hes just one of lifes losers!
Coronation Street star Kate Ford has insisted that her character Tracy Barlow is genuinely frightened when her daughter Amy falls ill in a forthcoming storyline.
Amy is expected to start feeling unwell in a plot which airs in May, leading to a mystery as doctors try to determine what could be wrong with her.
Earlier this month, reports suggested that Tracy's arch-nemesis Becky McDonald (Katherine Kelly) will suspect her of poisoning the child as the story progresses, convinced that she has launched a twisted plan to secure the attention of Amy's father Steve (Simon Gregson).
However, in an interview with All About Soap, Ford appeared to dismiss the theory, claiming that Amy's welfare is always Tracy's top priority.
Ford explained: "She's terrified. There is no hidden agenda - she is genuinely scared for her daughter. But of course, she's quietly pleased that it's bringing her and Steve closer.
"Tracy is capable of a lot of bad things, however there is a heart in there. First and foremost, her thoughts are for Amy's wellbeing."
The actress added that, despite their recent rows, Tracy still believes she has a romantic future with Steve.
She said: "I think in her head, she plans to be married to him within a year. Tracy's prepared to play the long game." :eek:

so why is the actress off, that amy is still in hospital? kinda stupid amy missing her parents wedding
Who stays in hospital with a broken arm anyway? Little Jack was in hospital for less time when he lost his leg!! I wonder whether when Amy returns it will be a different actress? I know the scriptwriters think we're stupid, but unless it was an unplanned "sharp exit", they could surely have come up with a better back story than this!

It was a compound fracture of the elbow, my nephew had the same injury and needed an extended stay in hospital after having to have surgery to correct the fracture .... even years after he cannot fully extend the arm, it is always slightly bent. Maybe Elle Mulvany needed time off for school exams as she is 16 so they needed to have her absent???
did tracy or steve even visit her to say bye before holidaying?

Doubt it .. Steve went off to the airport to wait for Tracy to either turn up or go by himself ... and Tracy would have to be in too much of a hurry to stop at hospital before leaving for the airport ....

FFS! Beam me up Scotty
by simon or aadhi?
Article says not definite yet whether existing character or they introduce a new one but Aadi will feature as possible romantic link ..they rarely have had anything to do so far but then the twins have not been seen much lately so could do with a storyline where as Simon is wanting to go off sailing ..
Hopefully the writers will come up with an original angle on this type of storyline. I'm just hoping they will explore the consequences of getting pregnant at such a young age, and that they follow it up properly. Faye's pregnancy was disposed of pretty quickly, with the baby going to live with her dad's family and (as far as I know) never seen again.

I'm wondering if this is the year that Amy finds out Tracy sold her to Roy and Hayley as a baby... There seemed to be a tiny bit of foreshadowing of this in Friday's episode - Nina and Amy becoming friends, a reference to Roy being her godfather and of course, the symbolic gesture of Rita handing over Elsie Tanner's rings, which could also be the beginning of Amy as a character in her own right.
Lots of factors might come together: she's at an age where she's wondering about her parents relationship and how they weren't together properly when she was born, plus, she'll probably wonder why Roy is her godfather when Tracy has never liked him. Also, she'll be in Roy's orbit if she's becoming friends with Nina - maybe she will find something in the flat, a picture of her with Roy and Hayley, perhaps, from the brief time they looked after her?
It probably won't happen in the near future but Nina and Amy could start putting 2 and 2 together to make 50... I could be over thinking this of course, but she must find out at some stage (this is Corrie after all) and she's precocious enough to investigate it all and maybe confront Roy about it?...
Coronation Street is reportedly lining-up a drink spiking storyline for Amy Barlow.
The soap character is set to be taken to hospital, with her parents believing that she had an overdose and that drug dealer Jacob Hay has been leading her astray, The Sun reports.

Coronation Street is set to tackle the issue of non-consensual sex with a new storyline involving Amy Barlow and Aaron Sandford.
In scenes airing on March 3, a drunk Amy and Aaron head back to their flat following Aaron's heated argument with his girlfriend Summer.
The two soon start kissing and move to the bedroom, where Amy begins to undress before revealing that she feels sick and rolling away from him.
Aaron, on the other hand, continues to kiss Amy and decides for her that they will have sex.
It's not until the next day that Amy learns how far things went, realises she was unable to consent to sex and was therefore raped by Aaron, who tries to convince her that they both wanted it to happen.
As family, friends and the police get involved, viewers will see the different reactions and understandings of non-consensual sex as both teens struggle with what happened that night.
Coronation Street hopes the narrative will spark conversations between families and friends regarding some of the issues surrounding sex among young people, such as consent, awareness, respect and education.
Researchers from the ITV soap have also collaborated with The Schools Consent Project, a charity that sends legally trained volunteers into schools to provide workshops on the legal definition of sexual consent and key sexual offences.
Elle Mulvaney, who plays Amy Barlow, opened up about the storyline and admitted that she was initially "anxious" to be taking the lead on such an "important issue".
She said: "There are so many different viewpoints from the characters, but for us it was important that when we portray that night it?s clear that while Amy doesn?t say the words, she definitely doesn't consent.
"That meant that we had to highlight her usual behaviour in the run up to the episode so that she didn?t act uncharacteristically, the characters were getting closer before the event, but even though they were friends that doesn?t mean it?s ok for him to do what he wants, this shouldn?t be a grey area.
"It?s huge to be a young actress on the show and to be given a storyline like this because it shows how much faith the team has in us, which in turn gives us the confidence to tackle the story. It won?t end here either, it will be interesting to see the character develop in a different way because this will stay with Amy for a long time.
"It?s important to note the way it will affect her mental health and wellbeing going forward, which is something else we want to highlight with this story."

Staying for another year

Coronation Street's Amy Barlow is set to spark concern from Summer Spellman.
In upcoming scenes, Summer gives Amy a helping hand at the drop-in she has organised for the counselling charity.
A girl walks in and Summer hands her a flyer, but when Amy and Summer get distracted, she quickly leaves.
Amy becomes frustrated with herself when she notices this, wishing she had offered the girl some more help.
Summer becomes increasingly concerned for Amy and thinks she is giving herself too much of a hard time.
After her own ordeal earlier in the year, having been sexually assaulted by her flatmate Aaron Sandford, is Amy becoming over-invested in the charity at the expense of her own wellbeing?
The soap is also set to revisit the romantic spark between Amy and Aadi, who will become more involved with Amy as the show explores how she's coping after her assualt.
"Amy, despite outward appearances, is profoundly affected by what happened ? as she will be for the rest of her life. So there's another chapter of this," Coronation Street's producer Iain MacLeod explained.
"We wanted this chapter to be a final catharsis that doesn't allow Amy to move on exactly, because I don't know that you ever can. But it allows her to enter a different chapter of her reaction to what went on.
"Amy will find herself driven to some fairly extreme lengths, in what she sees as an attempt to right some wrongs. "

Coronation Street has revealed more on Amy Barlow's big new storyline. The soap is set to explore the residual trauma and impact of Amy being sexually-assaulted by Aaron Sandford as she leans on friends Summer Spellman and Aadi Alahan for support.
As part of this storyline, Amy will get involved in the ongoing bullying storyline where Dylan Wilson is being picked on by Mason Radcliffe.
Amy will encourage Dylan to stand up for himself, then she takes her own advice by deciding against staying in for the night.
She heads off to the local nightclub where she intervenes when she spots a man trying to spike another woman's drink. Amy knocks the drink away and leads this young woman to the restroom.
Amy explains to this young woman that she was once raped and now wants to help other young women feel safe and informed. Once the young woman thanks her and leaves, Amy puts a new plan into place by approaching the man who tried to spike the drink earlier.
Amy pretends to flirt with this man, Dan, but it remains to be seen what exactly she has planned for him.
Prior to this storyline beginning, producer Iain McLeod spoke to Digital Spy about the way Amy remains "profoundly affected" by her past trauma.
"We wanted this chapter to be a final catharsis that doesn't allow Amy to move on exactly, because I don't know that you ever can. But it allows her to enter a different chapter of her reaction to what went on," the producer said.
"Amy will find herself driven to some fairly extreme lengths, in what she sees as an attempt to right some wrongs. She feels that she's acting in an entirely justified way. But it will fall to one of her friends to pull it back from the brink before she criminalises herself essentially, in a pursuit of what she believes to be a just outcome."
