Coronation Street star Kate Ford has warned that viewers should not expect a long-term change in her villainous character Tracy Barlow after she discovers the truth about daughter Amy's illness.
Amy is currently exploiting her milk allergy to deliberately make herself sick because she sees it as the best way of uniting her father Steve (Simon Gregson) with Tracy.
When they discover the lengths that Amy has gone to, Tracy and Steve will both feel guilty and make a vow to start putting the youngster first.
However, in an interview with All About Soap, Ford admitted that Tracy soon starts turning the latest twist to her own advantage - increasing the pressure on Steve and Becky by threatening to leave Weatherfield with Amy.
The actress explained: "She thinks it's time for her to move away with Amy and start her life afresh. This time there would be one house, one parent and no part-time sharing of Amy. She's convinced herself it will do her daughter the world of good.
"Becky thinks she's bluffing. Tracy wants to be near Steve and have him to herself, but there is some seriousness to her threats. She has even spoken to a friend in London and got herself a job in a florists'."
Asked whether Tracy really has Amy's best interests at heart, Ford replied: "Not really! She threatens to call social services about Max if Steve and Becky don't let her do what she wants with Amy. Tracy is definitely doing this as much for her as she is for Amy. Tracy is never going to change."
How far Tracy takes her threats to leave the cobbles remains to be seen.

The Weatherfield pair are currently locked in battles over their daughter Amy, though Tracy has made no secret of her desire to eventually steal Steve away from Kelly's character Becky.
As Becky will be departing the cobbles at the beginning of next year, fans have speculated over whether Tracy could finally win Steve's affections.
However, speaking on the red carpet at the British Soap Awards earlier this month, Kelly appeared to dismiss the suggestion, commenting: "Steve hates Tracy more than Becky will ever hate Tracy. Tracy wrecked his first marriage, she holds his child to ransom - she loves Amy but she's a horrible person."
She continued: "Becky hates her for the way she treats Amy and the way she treats Steve. [But] I actually think that if Becky and Tracy were in prison, they probably would have got on alright!"
Kelly also admitted that Becky only has herself to blame for many of her recent problems.
"Becky's always her own worst enemy. She brings herself down," she said. "She's worse to herself than Tracy Barlow could ever be! She has a big self-destruct button, does Becky."
Becky will be one of the characters to take centre stage in a dramatic week of post-watershed Coronation Street episodes next week
Coronation Street's explosive week of episodes reached its dramatic conclusion tonight as the John Stape saga came to an end and the McDonalds' marriage lay in tatters.
Here, are recent spoilers, rumours and speculation and provides a one-stop guide to what's next for the characters who took centre stage this week.
Becky and Steve
The McDonalds' marriage is on the rocks and next week's episodes see Steve trying desperately to win his wife back, reminding her of all the times he's forgiven her for letting him down. Becky agrees that they can fix their marriage but only if they move away from Weatherfield and never come back. With Amy to think about, Steve is unlikely to be pleased by the ultimatum…
In the longer-term, Becky was recently tipped to cheat on Steve by sleeping with one of her unsavoury old acquaintances while on a drunken bender. One report stated that this would be the final straw for Steve, prompting him to file for a divorce from Becky.
Whatever happens in the pair's marriage, it'll soon be all change at The Rovers as new landlady Stella (Michelle Collins), her husband Karl (John Michie) and daughter Eva (Catherine Tyldesley) all move in at the pub, marking the beginning of a new era for Corrie.
As fans already know, Becky will be departing screens at the start of 2012, but she has been tipped to stay at the forefront of the soap in dramatic storylines for the remainder of her time on the cobbles, so there's sure to be lots more to come from her.
Katherine Kelly, who plays the troubled character, recently said that she currently has no idea of how Becky will leave except that she won't be killed off, while her on-screen sister Paula Lane (Kylie) recently told the Daily Star Sunday that show bosses have "come up with six different endings for her at the minute and they can't make up their minds which one to go for".
Lane added: "That's how secret they are going to keep it. But I don't think they'd ever kill off a character like Becky."
Becky was only ever ok in corrie, but as of late the writers have cast typed her as flying off the handle at the least wee thing and turning to drink, its getting boring. As for steve , well its no wonder becky and others have went to the same way, he's a village idiot makes Jason look like university material. I read that he cons traceyluv into getting amy by saying he'll make her manager of the pub, when the new family takes over does that mean steve is for the off ?
TWISTED Coronation Street murderess Tracy Barlow will finally lure Steve McDonald into bed next month.
But she ends up angrily kidnapping their daughter Amy when he spurns her the next day.
Lonely Steve (Simon Gregson) turns to Tracy (Kate Ford) after his marriage breaks up.
Yet when his wife Becky finds out what's happened he wrongly blames Tracy for telling her. It was Amy (Elle Mulvaney) who spilled the beans.
She storms off in a cab taking Amy, despite Steve having joint custody. A source said: "Viewers will be screaming at her."

The only screaming I will do is : Leave Coronoation Street :wall: :rolleyes:
No way Steve don't jump into bed with Tracey. Man what is wrong with Corrie at the moment. It's just one stupid plot after another.
Im becoming more and more convinced its becoming the Deadenders of the North. The scripts are appalling and some of the acting woeful. So far its a big Nono to Stella and her clan
