Steve and Tracy

I would assume that its possibly because she may get legal aid being unemployed wheras Steve being a businessman would not

Money never seems to be a problem for Steve

Well he has had a lot of expenses recently and had to sell T'Rovers

I dont think it does have to be Tracy. These are the grounds

Void grounds;

*the parties are within the prohibited degrees of relationship
*either party is under the age of sixteen or the parties have intermarried
*at the time of the marriage either party was already lawfully married
*the parties are not respectively male and female


Voidable grounds;

*the marriage hasn't been consummated
*either party didn't consent to the marriage
*either party was suffering from mental disorder at the time of the marriage ]*at the time of the marriage the respondent was suffering from venereal disease
*at the time of the marriage the respondent was pregnant by a third party

As you can see Steve may have a few good reasons

does the consummation of the marriage have to occur AFTER the wedding? just a technicality but I am curious...

Yes.

it never does in Soapland - even in EE Beetroot man always has wads of cash - but doesnt actually work?

Steve took mortgage to buy the Rovers for Liz, so even if he has now sold to Starl, he ought to be no better off....

Otherwise you would not consummate the marriage

And the money they paid kylie

Well he owns businesses, so he takes the profits and pays the staff a wage to run them. Although he does 'work' in the Archers more than anywhere else. But yeah, Steve is always seen as having a bit more cash than the average wage slave on the Street, but I can't imagine the cab office makes a lot of money and he doesn't have the Rovers anymore. Does Becky still own half of the taxi office?

Does Becky still own half of the taxi office?

No, she let Steve buy her out before she left, and then gave Kylie the money for Max.

Coronation Street star Kate Ford has praised her character Tracy Barlow's upcoming feud with Beth Tinker, promising that there are "really funny" scenes in store as the pair go head-to-head.

Tracy is left furious in the coming days when Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) removes the partition wall at Number 13, allowing Underworld worker Beth and her son Craig to move in as new housemates.

Steve hopes that Beth's arrival at the house will drive Tracy out once and for all, knowing that the pair will clash.

Ford told itv.com: "Tracy is completely horrified. This is a nightmare. This cosy house where she was hoping to live for years and years and years with Steve, is now completely taken over by Beth.

"It's really funny. It's a bit more light-hearted than what I'm used to as playing Tracy, which is really nice. Tracy always has to have a public enemy number one, and at the moment it's Beth."

Lisa George, who plays Beth, also predicted that Coronation Street fans will be laughing as they watch the story unfold.

George explained: "Beth is so excited that she's moving into Number 13. She's on the street, it's right near work, two minutes away from the factory. She thinks it's hilarious that she's moving in with Tracy.

"We can expect lots of comedy to come between Beth and Tracy, with little spats and things like that. Watch out!"
