Coronation Street's Tracy Barlow gets a deadly diagnosis

Well, this sounds interesting.  Last night on Coronation Street when Johnny locked Tracy in the storeroom at Underworld, she cried out "I've only got one kidney," and "I need my medication."  Always nice to see a storyline's not been forgotten, eh?

Anyway, today Inside Soap magazine reveal today that Tracy will end up in hospital again. She's going to get struck down with a mystery illness. But if she expects any sympathy from her nearest and dearest, she can think again because they turn their backs on her.

Tracy is going to contract an infection in her working kidney. It's not the first time she's suffered this and she collapsed from an infection once before. 

She lost her kidney back in 1995 after taking an ecstasy tablet which caused kidney failure. Deirdre's Morrocan toy-boy, Samir Rachid, donated his kidney to her and it was taken from him when he died after being beaten up on the canal path.
