Tracey frames Gail for murder

[alan45]

Even if she got a real confession that led to a conviction they still wouldn't let her out this soon. That's just not how it works.

You dont have to tell me mate. I think this storyline is ludicrous and I do know how the Criminal Justice system works having spent over 20 yrs of my life in it. Even if Tracyluv was an accomplice to a murder she wouldnt get her sentence reduced for grassing up someone else after already being sentenced. As it is the only evidence Tracyluv could give would be heresay and as such inadmissible in a real court. However as Galeforce didnt actually murder whatshisname then obviously Traceyluv is telling porkies and should therefore be done for Perjury. I know the Criminal Justice system is different in the East End of Walford where the Mitchell Bruvvas have the Old Bill, the CPS and ald the Judges in their pocket. I really expected better of Corrie but then when the producers favourite Kate Board is involved Im not at all surprised.

Kate Ford has revealed that she will not allow her young son to watch her Coronation Street return.

The actress will be back on screen as twisted Tracy Barlow next month after finalising a Weatherfield comeback deal at the beginning of the year.

Ford was last seen in the role of Tracy in 2007. Since then, she and husband Jon Connerty have welcomed the arrival of their first child Otis, who turns 2 in June.

Speaking to New magazine, the star explained: "When Jon's away and we Skype each other, Otis gets quite distressed afterwards and looks behind the computer.

"So [watching Tracy] might be confusing for him, especially if I'm screaming and shouting. That would be really disturbing, wouldn't it?"

Ford also played down the nerves she suffered as she prepared to make her return, commenting: "It's nothing new for me to be a nervous wreck, it really isn't. It's just varying degrees! I'm very excited to be back."

I agree with you 100%.

Lets hope the spoilers are wrong and the scriptwriters come up with a PLAUSIBLE reason for Tracyluvs premature release from The Big House

Kate Ford has revealed that she decided to go back to Coronation Street in order to reunite with co-star Shobna Gulati.

The 32-year-old actress, who plays the murderous Tracy Barlow, said that working with her former best friend had been a big influence on her decision to return.

Gulati - who played Dev Alahan's wife Sunita until 2006 - also reprised her role in the serial last year.

Ford told TV Times: "Part of the pull of my going back was to be with Shobna. She used to pop in to see me when she was in London with her son, but we hadn't seen each other for a while."

She added: "Because I was there for so long and formed such strong bonds, it's like being reunited with good friends - you don't see them for a while but when you meet them again you just slip back into it."

Kate Ford has revealed that motherhood has helped her to feel a new affinity with her Coronation Street character Tracy Barlow.

The actress, who signed up for a Weatherfield comeback earlier this year, welcomed the arrival of her first child Otis in June 2008.

Ford's jailed alter-ego is granted day release from prison next month for the funeral of her grandmother Blanche. Her young daughter Amy also attends the event.

Speaking to All About Soap about parenthood, Ford explained: "It gives me a new empathy with [Tracy]. It doesn't change how I act in front of the camera, but it does alter how I feel inside.

"Filming the scenes where Tracy sees Amy at Blanche's funeral were really sad, especially when Amy tells Tracy the things that were familiar between them aren't the same now - I could connect to that."

Ford added: "She's handcuffed to a guard and is ashamed when she sees Amy. No child should have to see their mum in handcuffs."

The star recently said that she will not let her son watch her Coronation Street scenes.

So tonight we saw the start of Corries worst storyline to date. Traveyluv gets moved into Gale Forces cell. A convicted murderer sharing a cell with a remand prisoner who just happens to live in the same street. Stange that Traceyluv arrived with her two arms the one length. She brought NO posessions from her cell to Gails Cell. No clothes, no toothbrush, nothing. She didnt even bring a picture of Samey. The CRAP doesnt stop there. If the spoilers are to be believed then Traceyluv will give hearsay evidence against an innocent woman in an effort to get released from jail. What a huge pile of DUNG. Obviously the so called scriptwriters are living in cloud cuckoo land or else they have overdosed on the skinny lattes and the caffeine has pickled their tiny minds. Corrie was alway a realistic soap. However if it goes down this path I fear it will lose credibility and certainly I will lose interest in it.

Even worse, Tracy went from talking to her solicitor to sharing a cell with Gail in a couple of hours (if you go by the timelines of the other Corrie storylines). She would have had to convince the governor and the police about her plan in this time. Ridiculous. I agree with you, Alan, that this storyline is putting me off Corrie at the moment.

This storyline is absolute garbage. It could be the worst ever in the history of soaps - and that's saying something. Is there a prize at the annual soap awards for the worst story? Perhaps that's what they are going after.

It wouldn't surprise me if this storyline wasn't thought up by DS Carter to deflect attention away from The Adventures of Sun Hill CID (formerly known as The Bill).

All this just to bring Tracy back, is she really worth it?
