Tracy and Beth pretend to be lesbian lovers

Odd story of the week time. There's a Coronation Street spoiler in today's Star that says Tracy Barlow and Beth Tinker will pretend they've fallen in love and living as a lesbian couple so that Steve doesn't throw them out of No. 13.

Apparantly, Steve will decide to sell No. 13 as he's strapped for cash, and he wants Tracy and Beth out. So, they pretend to be a couple and do their best to put off prospective buyers who come to view their home.

The Star says: "Not only do they flop around the house with their arms around each other, but they also make the terrace smell like a fishmarket.They hide kippers around the place to cause an horrendous stench when people come to view the property."

Our un-named friend, that always unreliable Corrie source said: “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 – or the kippers!” How fun! Not!  This fan thinks the only thing that could possibly redeem this dreadful sounding storyline is that Beth's son, Craig will be involved 'cos he's a marvel.
