I'd have thought she'd have got rid of them by now, one way or another. She'd be stupid to keep them.Quote:

You would have thought that Finn in Emmerdale would have got rid of the USB stick properly rather than chucking it into the bin without destroying it first ... pregnancy test kits are always being left where anyone can find them ... getting rid of evidence properly is not a soapland thing :wall:Quote:

Desperate Carla Connor and Tracy Barlow fight on the edge of 100ft precipice in Coronation Street cliffhanger
Coronation Street is set to have its own rather literal cliffhanger.
The dramatic moment will see a desperate Carla Connor on the edge of devastation, swigging from bottles of alcohol while tossing a coin to determine her fate, to see if she will plummet to her death of not.
The lingerie factory boss, played by Alison King, 42, clearly reached breaking point as her life hung in the balance while grappling with Tracy Barlow on top of a 100ft cliff edge.
weighed down with gambling debts, convinced she caused the flat fire that killed Maddie Heath and Kal Nazir, and so decided to take fate into her own hands, ready to put an end to it all.
It's no secret that the pair enemies but,in a surprising turn of events Tracy decides to talk Carla out of doing the unthinkable.
Although it's unclear whether Carla survives or not, Coronation Street bosses have hinted that Tracy may manage to convince her foe that her life is worth saving after all.
But as Alison is leaving the soap after nine years, no one can be sure of Carla's fate, as she's pictured with gritted teeth in behind-the-scenes frames taken from the dramatic episode.
told the Mirror: 'Alison King has indicated to producers that she would like to take a sabbatical from the show for creative reasons at some point in 2016.
'She wishes to try her hand at other projects before returning to the part of Carla, a role she has enjoyed playing for nine years.'
And while Tracy risks her life for the sake of her drunken rival, there's no surety that she's safe by the end of the cliffhanger episode, as she may also be heading for a fall.
Kate Ford, 38, wore a safety harness for the scenes at a quarry near Glossop, Derbyshire, while she and Carla fought dangerously close to the edge.
And perhaps, Tracy, who really started the blaze, felt like it was her responsibility to save Carla.
But it remains to be seen whether the soap villain reveal all to her desperate enemy, who is tormented over fears she started the fatal fire.

Maybe this is how the truth gets out about Tracy starting the fire? If she confesses to Carla to stop her from jumping, hopefully Carla will inform the police.
This is what I am thinking and hoping for too ...I really want Carla to know the truth so she can stop blaming herselfQuote:

She may well tell Carla but I doubt that Carla would go to police. Tracy saved her life in the mini bus crash..
the connor secret also to come out could push carla more some speculation that carla is michelle's half sister same father, so sister to lovers paul and liam , incestuous
I can´t see Carla going to the police either but at least she would have piece of mind which is what I want for herQuote:

She wouldn't even be on a clifftop contemplating suicide in the first place if it wasn't for Tracy. Also, even if Carla finds some peace from knowing she didn't kill anyone, she'll still be very aware that the rest of the community still believes her responsible. I would be very angry in her place. :angry:
Anyway, we know the truth will get out somehow and this seems the most feasible way so far to me.
If there are no witnesses, as we don´t know who else is at that location, it would be Carla´s word against Tracy´s, who I doubt would confess and tell the truth to the police. I know she is meant to become a better person but nobody can change that dramatically...Quote:

It's possible (as Perdita says) that Carla wouldn't go straight to the police due to lack of evidence, but, if that's the case, I hope she at least does some detective work with the intention of telling the police when she can back up her story. Of course, we still don't even know for sure that Tracy confesses to stop Carla from jumping.
I dont know if Carla will or wont go to police.Quote:

characters who start out as strong people.
Most people have bad times in their lives
but they have really piled it on her!!
to the point it will be difficult for her to
recover her previous strength and determination.
One way is if she could get some revenge on Tracy
without upsetting others or invoving police.
But I havent quite ! worked out how yet !!
Dupl
I hear what you're saying, but I just can't see Carla letting Tracy get away with it - at least not in the long run.Quote:

I'd expect the Carla I know to wake up and be furious at Tracy after a couple of days, or even weeks, of the truth sinking in.
Tracy was in Carla's flat to kill her after all and, no matter how she tries to spin it, I think Carla would realise she was up to something nefarious.
This could work as an alternative. However, we know that Tracy will be arrested, so the police are going to somehow find out the real story.Quote:

Coronation Street's Tracy Barlow will lash out at a struggling Leanne Battersby next week as the truth finally unravels about Simon.
Kate Ford, who plays Tracy, has revealed that her character will have no sympathy for Leanne after discovering that Simon has been abusing her. However, Tracy's attitude could spell the end for her rekindled relationship with Robert Preston.
Simon's violent behaviour towards his step-mum will be exposed after he lashes out at Tracy's daughter Amy, prompting a devastated Leanne to finally come clean about what is going on.
Ford said: "I think she's definitely shocked when Leanne breaks down and tells Tracy and Ken that Simon's been hitting her. She never expected that.

Tracy gets dolled up and goes to the Bistro to win Robert's forgiveness

"She was happy to tarnish Simon as well as Leanne with the same brush and blame Leanne for Simon's actions, so she is definitely taken aback when Leanne breaks down and explains the reality of the situation.
"It doesn't stop her from making the odd snipe at Leanne though, and even after the shock has settled, [she] returns to blaming Leanne for Simon's behaviour! Any sympathy she might have at first quickly evaporates when everyone else starts comforting Leanne."
While both Ken and Robert rally round Leanne in the wake of revelation, this serves to infuriate a jealous Tracy, who remains cold towards her.
To make matters worse, Tracy is unsettled by how much attention Robert is paying Leanne and the situation comes to a head in the Bistro when Tracy lashes out, saying some very nasty things.

Ford continued: "Tracy is a very jealous person anyway, and with someone like Leanne who she doesn't like and who doesn't like her back, then Leanne is the last person she wants Robert falling into a friendship with.
"She wants Robert all to herself and the thought of Leanne being friendly with her annoys her. She can't help it - that's just Tracy all over. She's insanely jealous and feeling insecure that Robert is paying attention and care to Leanne over her.
"Leanne comes into the Bistro and Robert is all concerned for her. He is chatting things over with her and Tracy is overcome with jealousy, especially when Leanne hugs Robert and thanks him for his support. It kills Tracy because she just can't find it in her to be nice or supportive. She can't help but fire insults at Leanne and she really goes to town on her. She just can't help it.
"What Tracy says to Leanne is pretty vile and it's a step too far for Robert. She calls Simon a thug and tells Leanne he needs a tag around his ankle."

Speaking about whether Tracy's treatment of Leanne could mark the end for her relationship with Robert, Ford said: "She'd be absolutely devastated. Robert really does get Tracy and I think deep down she knows she's landed on her feet given the year she's had and everything she's done.
"I think he's quite disgusted by how cold she is being towards Leanne. Tracy is completely uninterested in the situation and is unsympathetic towards Leanne for the way Simon has treated her.
"When she keeps blaming Leanne and saying things such as how it's a good job Leanne didn't have any children of her own, he's quite angry at her. He knows Tracy of old and knows what she is like but I think even this is a step too far in his eyes."
What happened to this new leaf that Tracy was supposed to be turning over following the death of Deidre?
She confessed to Carla that she started the fire ... then the wind changed and the leaf turned back to its old position :pQuote:

Coronation Street’s Kate Ford has admitted that Tracy Barlow’s romance with Robert Preston is pushed to breaking point next week.
The fiery resident hits the roof over Robert’s reaction to the news Simon Barlow has been abusing not only Leanne Battersby but her daughter Amy.
She reacts badly when Robert, who has become friends with Leanne, is sympathetic towards the Bistro hostess.
And here Kate tells us that it leads to a "vile" clash between the two women in the middle of the restaurant.
Why does Robert and Leanne’s friendship bother her so much?
Tracy is a very jealous person anyway, and with someone like Leanne who she doesn’t like and who doesn’t like her back, then Leanne is the last person she wants Robert falling into a friendship with. She wants Robert all to herself and the thought of Leanne being friendly with her annoys her. She can’t help it - that’s just Tracy all over. She’s insanely jealous and feeling insecure that Robert is paying attention and care to Leanne over her.
What does Robert make of the way she’s behaving?
I think he’s quite disgusted by how cold she is being towards Leanne. Tracy is completely uninterested in the situation and is unsympathetic towards Leanne for the way Simon has treated her. When she keeps blaming Leanne and saying things such as how it’s a good job Leanne didn’t have any children of her own, he’s quite angry at her. He knows Tracy of old and knows what she is like but I think even this is a step too far in his eyes.
Does her plan to be forgiven work?
No not really because he then tells her more or less straight away that he went round to see Simon and Leanne and this gets her back right up. She tells him he’s betrayed her but Robert stands up for himself and says he doesn’t need permission from her and that his opinion about Leanne and Simon is different to hers and that he’s not going to change that. She hates it when they fall out and when she doesn’t get her own way - I think she knows deep down that she’s gone one step too far and she’s been playing this badly. She decides to get all dressed up and go to the Bistro in an attempt to get Robert to talk to her again. He’s not making it easy for her but she decides to sit it out and wait...
Why does she fly off the handle again?
Robert isn’t giving into Tracy at all and is making her work hard for forgiveness. Tracy is intending to sit in the Bistro until he talks to her again but Leanne comes in and Robert is all concerned for her and chatting things over with her and Tracy is overcome with jealousy, especially when Leanne hugs Robert and thanks him for his support. It kills Tracy because she just can’t find it in her to be nice or supportive. She can’t help but fire insults at Leanne and she really goes to town on her. She just can’t help it.
Is it a shocking scene?
What Tracy says to Leanne is pretty vile and it’s a step too far for Robert. She calls Simon a thug and tells Leanne he needs a tag around his ankle.
How would she feel if she and Robert were over?
She’d be absolutely devastated. Robert really does get Tracy and i think deep down she knows she’s landed on her feet given the year she’s had and everything she’s done.
Can she win him back?
She will do her best to try. She can be very persuasive and manipulative and she won’t stop until she gets what she wants. She knows Robert loves her deeply as well so she hopes she can work her way round him.
How does Leanne deal with the way Tracy treats her
I don’t think Leanne has the energy to take on Tracy given everything she has going on. She also has enough people sticking up for her - Eva, Robert and Ken - so I think she just tries to block Tracy out and worry about everything else she has going on. I don’t think she expects anything less from Tracy!
leanne should go off with robert, he knows how vile tracy is he should dump her
I can see that happening and Simon´s wish to have a brother and sister might become reality :DQuote:

Tracy Barlow - Coronation Street - ITV
Has Tracy had any idea about what Leanne’s been dealing with in Simon?
No she’s not got a clue. Tracy isn’t privy to anything Leanne has been going through, they hardly see eye to eye so Tracy’s probably the last person Leanne would confide in! And Tracy’s too wrapped up in her own business to notice the problems other people might have. When she finds out Simon’s moved in, Tracy’s not bothered as to why, she’s just annoyed that he’ll be there all the time!
How does she react when she and Ken arrive to see him attacking Amy?
Tracy’s absolutely furious when Amy tells her that Simon hit her. Tracy will never believe Amy has done anything wrong. I think Amy does wind him up a bit about not being wanted anywhere and he really doesn’t like it. But on this occasion Simon has actually been quite menacing towards Amy and Tracy wants to blame someone.
Why does she go looking for Leanne straight away?
Tracy knows she can’t retaliate towards Simon because he’s only a child, so the only person she can think to blame is Leanne and she’ll make sure she knows it. I think it’s also that Tracy feels she can now take the moral high ground and point the finger at Leanne and maybe accuse her of bad parenting or something. That sounds like something Tracy would do!
What happens next?
Leanne and Tracy go back to talk to Simon. Leanne wants Simon to apologise but that isn’t enough for Tracy, she wants him to go back to Leanne so she can deal with the problem. She doesn’t think that it should be her or Ken’s problem to look after him.

Barlows - Coronation Street - ITV
Is Tracy touched when Leanne breaks down?
I think she’s definitely shocked when Leanne breaks down and tells Tracy and Ken that Simon’s been hitting her. She never expected that. She was happy to tarnish Simon as well as Leanne with the same brush and blame Leanne for Simon’s actions, so she is definitely taken aback when Leanne breaks down and explains the reality of the situation.

Coronation Street’s Tracy Barlow feels her blood run cold over the Christmas holidays when she realises she’s been played by Rob Donovan.
He might be in prison but the convicted killer is still pulling her strings and has made her believe he’s going to get his sentence overturned and they can be together.
After falling for his trick Tracy has ruined her romance with Robert Preston who was planning to propose to her.
So imagine how far her heart sinks when Rob drops the bombshell on her that he’s been leading her up the garden path, there is no appeal, he simply wanted to ruin her life as she did his.
Realising she may have lost her chance of happiness with Robert over all this, Tracy storms out in tears and calls in the bistro where she lies through her teeth.
She begs Robert for another chance, telling him how she was never in love with Rob, it was all in his head. But what she doesn’t realise is that while she’s been caught up in Rob’s games, Robert has been getting down and dirty with Carla Connor!
At the Bistro whilst Nick Tilsley serves, Carla has a quiet word with Robert telling him she’s engaged to the best man in the world and that as far she’s concerned, their earlier indiscretions never happened.
Will Robert agree to keep quiet and give Tracy another chance?
Coronation Street star Kate Ford has admitted that she found filming the mentions of Deirdre Barlow in Christmas scenes very difficult.
Deirdre's passing was written into the soap over the summer following Anne Kirkbride's death in January.
Ford, who plays Deirdre's daughter Tracy Barlow, said the The Mirror: "It was just awful, the whole thing, awful. I'm so glad we don't have to do those scenes any more.
"There are only a couple of scenes when we talk about Deirdre at Christmas. It's was really hard to film all that, for Bill Roache (Ken) as well.
"I was very, very close to her. She really looked after me, we loved each other. People say that we're quite alike, that it's really weird how much I remind them of a younger Annie."
Ford also admitted that she has no plans to leave the ITV soap, as well as opening up about her struggles with being shy.
She said: "It's good for me to be at Corrie now, I have good work, and good scripts, and I don't want to lose that. When you don't have young children it's easier to make braver choices, but I'm not saying this is an easy option, it's hard work, and I really enjoy it.
"I'm not a particularly ambitious person. I'm not one of those people who thinks 'by this time I want to have done this and that', the idea of that freaks me right out. Life's too complicated.
"I'm in a comfort zone. It sounds really actress-y, but I'm playing a character so it's not really me. But if anyone asked me to stand up in church and speak at their wedding, I'd just die.
"I was once asked to present an award and I made a complete hash of it. I was staring at the lines and they were all jumbled up. I'm never doing that again, I just got so scared. There's a lot of people that are both an actor and an entertainer, but that's not me."
Kate Ford sounds lovely - and very un-Tracy like! :D
