Tracy Barlow

Could it be that it's the summer season, and some of the papers are having to not exactly make stories up, but embellish weak rumours? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

They're in competition with the World Cup amongst other ongong events.

Kate, 28, decided to to leave Weatherfield last year but show executives lured her back with the promise of jucier storylines.

According to the News of the World, Kate has again insisted that she will bow out next year when her contract expires.

Her future with the Street is, however, still uncertain as producers are reportedly creating a lucrative pay packet in a bid to keep her.

A Corrie spokesman told DS: "Kate is contracted until next Spring so she's with us for the foreseeable future."

So that's 11 whopping cast members leaving then. Some did need to go, whether or not they chose to is another matter. I think Ray Fearon and
If Kate carries out her threat she will join a long list of principle characters who will disappear from Britain's most famous Street over the next year. Others who have indicated that they will be waving goodbye include: Bradley Walsh (Danny Baldwin), Debra Stephenson (Frankie Baldwin), Richard Fleeshman (Craig Harris), Ray Fearon (Nathan Cooper), Susie Blake (Bev Unwin), Ian Redford (Keith), Eric Potts (Diggory Compton), Emma Stansfield (Ronnie Clayton), Sally Lindsay (Shelley Unwin), Jane Danson (Leanne Battersby) and John Savident (Fred Elliot).

Some, however, have indicated they are simply taking a break and expect to return to the soap at a later date.

Wow. So that's 11 going then.

Some did need to go, whether or not they chose to is another matter entirely. I think Susie Blake, Ian Redford, Debra Stephenson, John Savident and Sally Lindsay chose to leave of their own accord. Bradley and Richard are leaving temporarily and Jane Danson will be on maternity leave soon.

Cant wait to see the back of the plank that is Kate Ford she can go to the forest and join the other wooden actors. i.e. Patsy Kensit and Nigel Woodman. Glad to see that they are doing their bit to save the amazon rain forests.

LOL @ Alan.

There is a lot going but now it opens the street up for a new family or 2, I think corro needs that.

It has been confirmed that Coronation Street super-bitch, Tracy Barlow is to leave the show.
Actress Kate Ford will be bowing out of the popular soap after deciding not to sign a new deal to stay with the show.
According to reports, bosses say she'll bid farewell to the famous cobbles in a sensational finale, but she won't be killed off.
Over the years 'Toxic Tracy' has endured endless scraps with love-rivals like Karen McDonald and even tried to sell her baby to the Croppers.
Tracy is currently shacked up with dastardly builder Charlie, who finally seemed to be her match.
29-year-old Kate says she can't wait to see what's in store and that she turned down a megabucks deal to stay on after 2007, so she can try new projects.

merged threads for tidiness, thanks for posting kath :)
