Tracy started the fire-we know it and she knows it-but she made it look like it was an accident so if she can deal with her guilt no one will never know..What a bitch she is.!!!
I'm just worried that no one thinks of Amy as Steve and Michelle are on the honeymoon(very strange that they were not on their own wedding reception???), Liz has too much going on with Tony and Tracy doesn't even know Amy is in Carla's flat. In a way it would be the ultimate punishment for Tracy if her own daughter got killed by the fire she started herself. But I doubt that will happen.
Yes-it couldn't have been made more obvious that Kal and Maddie are dying.
Tim and Sally did the same thing before-it wasn't funny on the second time..

She started the fire by placing the candle too close to the lampshade but I don't think she did this on purpose, she was distracted by the photo of Rob. I don't think she realised that Amy was in the apartment, she would never have risked the life of her daughter and if she wanted to kill Carla, she could have done easily with the award.
Steve and Michelle left to go on honeymoon, a last minute arrangement by Liz who did not want Tracy to have the opportunity to spoil things by revealing her affair with Tony and her nearly getting the pub to them and the guests, which is why they were not at the reception.

She definitely did it on purpose. She first placed the candle on the table but then looked back and moved the candle just under the lampshade. If she didn't mean to do it, why didn't she blow out the candle before leaving?? Obviously she didn't want to kill Carla with the statue(she killed Charlie Stubbs and ended up in prison), she would have been found out eventually. So she wanted to make it look like an accident. But if she lost her daughter now it would be the ultimate punishment like said- for her selfishness and her bad temper and for everything she's ever done to hurt anyone. Funny thing is she said to Carla something about ' whats the point lighting the fuse if you don't stay watching it..' hmmmm..quite telling if Carla remembers that. I just hope Carla (and Amy-for Steve's sake) will survive, don't mind the others..Anna could have gone, wouldn't have missed her.

The reason why Rob's photo was there, was just to wind up Tracy even more..to remind her of what Carla said that Tracy never loved him..which I think was bit harsh because I think she really did love him. I think she's had two men she's ever loved-Steve and Rob. And of course Ken as her dad and Peter as brother.

amy knocked over the photo album and rob's photo came out so she put the lot up on table by lampshade

[mariba]

I know-I saw that, but the writers wrote it so the photo would be there to remind Tracy. Carla didn't put it there deliberately.

[Perdita]

It is Carla's flat, Tracy had no business to be in there, should not have seen it, it is normal for a sister to have a photo of her brother about

Sorry Mariba, much as I dislike Tracey, putting the candle right under the lampshade was definitely accidental. She looks at the photo of Rob, then slams both the photo and the candle down on the table in fury (and unthinkingly). She doesn't give the candle another thought after that. It's technically Tracey's fault but it's completely accidental.

See it here at about 19:00:



They're not going to kill Amy off in the fire because it would be too harrowing and, anyway, Amy's being built up to be a mini Tracey and the Corrie team aren't going to want to lose that.
