This post is a little later than usual as I’ve had to go up to Manchester; keep your eye out for exciting stuff!
I’m not going to lie to you, I flippin’ love Tracy Barlow. A truly iconic character, Tracy has had her fair share of ups and downs (I use those words loosely).
Everyone knows Tracy as Queen Bitch of Coronation Street, letting nothing and no one stand in the way of what she wants. However much she has mellowed over the past couple of years, this week in particular we’ve been constantly reminded of just how far Tracy can turn.
It’s a bit odd watching Tracy being sweet and loving towards Steve, a bit like a lion shacking up with a gazelle. Steve’s been playing a very dangerous game of late, and he should be fully aware of the consequences.
Back to Tracy, I was cracking up at the start of the week as she got embroiled in a war of heated words with Leanne about little Oliver wearing the “McDonald tartan” to the wedding, a topic that Tracy refused to let go of throughout the week.
While she’s planning the supposed wedding of her dreams, the poor love has Steve fooling around with Leanne... again. Quite ironically, Steve was reminded of Charlie, who “had his head caved in with a nik nak”. I think Tracy’s days of battering her boyfriends with statues are over, but if Steve really believes that he can get away with cheating on Tracy, he deserves every bit of her wrath.
Finally, if the way Tracy reacted to Peter not coming to the wedding didn’t set off alarm bells with Steve then God help him.
Who’s your Star of the Week this week?
