Does Steve move out?

Coronation Street characters Tracy Barlow and Beth Tinker will team up to hang on to their home.

Flatmates Tracy (Kate Ford) and Beth (Lisa George), who have so far not seen eye to eye, will pretend to be a lesbian couple to scare off cash-strapped Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson).

"They are determined to hang on to the place," a source told the Daily Star. "It will be hilarious and the girls will have a great time filming - it won't be long before Steve begins to smell a rat.

"When Tracy is overwhelmed by the smell of kippers that Beth cooks one morning, the pair realise putting them round the place will guarantee no-one will want to buy it.

"The scenes will be some of the funniest ever and show Corrie is still the best when it comes to giving viewers a good old chuckle."

When one interested buyer visits No.13, Tracy apparently says of the fishy smell: "It's always been here - it's even worse upstairs!"

Tracey isnt funniest

Tracey isnt funniest

I agree, Tammy. And those two being lesbians and the kippers all around the place are not funny storylines either, all done before as well

Is Kate Ford pregnant??? Watching her on Corrie tonight I thought she had put on some weight. She kept trying to hide her stomach. Just an observation

Coronation Street star Simon Gregson has confessed that his character Steve McDonald is "terrified" when he realises that he is at the centre of another love triangle.

Steve makes a big mistake next week when his estranged wife Tracy falls seriously ill. Wanting to comfort Tracy (Kate Ford) as he fears she might die, the businessman lets her believe that he has feelings for her.

When Tracy later begins to recover and expects a reunion with Steve, he is exasperated as this could threaten his chances of getting back with Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh).

Gregson told Soaplife: "Michelle tells him to go and sort it with Tracy. He goes to the hospital, but Tracy immediately starts discussing where she and Steve might live and how happy they'll be.

"The thing about Steve is that he doesn't like confrontation, and he'll do anything for an easy life. He likes to just go through life, have a nice girlfriend and have a laugh with Lloyd.

"When crunch comes to crunch, he does think, 'Right, I need to sort this out', but he ends up just teetering around it. Instead of telling Tracy straight, he announces that he just wants to be on his own."

The actor added: "He's in this situation again where he's stuck between two women - which is when Steve is, at best, terrified. I don't think he's a bad guy, but I would tell him to man up and sort Tracy out big time and get out."
