Kate explains that it can be difficult sometimes to play the part, considering how nasty Tracy is and the awful things she says. As a mother, Kate found it challenging to be so hurtful to Becky about her infertility. “There’s a real sense of danger with her – she did kill someone after all and you wouldn’t want to p*** her off. You get to say the most ridiculous, vicious things which can be fun. But it can be horrible too."
She also admits that though Tracy has finally bagged Steve, Steve doesn't love Tracy and probably never will. He wants the family life and is willing to do the right thing (since he can't have Becky). Will it last? My bet is no.
In her every day life, Kate says she always goes for what she wants when she wants it and that's reflected in the relative speed of her dating-to-wedding day with husband Jon Connerty. They also bought a house in hours and she was pregnant on her wedding day as well, for little Otis. She loves being a mother and misses him when she's away.
She also mentions helping Helen Flanagan work through her panic attacks as she's suffered them for years. Kate also says those attacks are absolutely not the reason for Helen's imminent departure from the cobbles.
Kate sounds as nice as everyone says she is. I know she gets a lot of stick for her acting but she must have some talent if she can make Tracy as horrible as all that.
