[Son of Cain]

She only did that to discredit Cassie, not get her killed, maybe addicted again, ok but I am sure she would not go on killing spree, she killed but there was domestic abuse involved but other than a sharp tongue Tracy has never really been violent after Charlie.. not that I can remember, happy to be reminded of other incidents

My post was mean to be tongue in cheek about the killing spree, but she is evil. Wnen she killed Charlie, she lied about the abuse, he was unfaithful but he did not physically abuse her. She planned the murder, it was not done in a moment anger. In fact if I remember correctly she took pleasure in it, I seem to member Charlie on the floor in front of her while she made a little speech and hit over the head with heavy object. She drugged Roy to win a 1p bet, saying she was pregnant, causing Haley to leave him, and Roy to contemplate suicide. She lied about Becky causing her to have a miscarriage. When she gave Cassie the drugs, she did so with a blatant disregard for her safety and well being. I think Cassie would almost certainly have become addicted again, one hit is usually all it takes to go down that path again, likewise one drink with alcoholics. Many addicts have fatal overdoses when they return to taking drugs again after a period of being clean, because the level of tolerance in their body has changed. So it is quite possible that Cassie could have overdosed, but Tracey did not consider this, or care. I think Tracey has always seen herself as a victim, and she excuses her bad behavior because she thinks other people treat her badly. It is admirable that you can sympathise with Tracey, but I have little sympathy with her.
