Tracy’s struggled for weeks with Amy’s teen pregnancy and knowing that Tyler is the father, what makes her finally decide to take action against him?
Tracy is so angry with Tyler for what he did to Amy and while Amy says it was consensual she is still a child and Tracy feels he took advantage. As a family they’ve been trying to work through this but with Vicky putting pressure on them, and Tyler now hanging round the street working at the bistro, it’s the final straw for Tracy. She can’t believe Robert would employ him and it really feeds her anger. In desperation she offers him £5k to stay away from Amy and the baby.
What will Tracy do if Tyler doesn’t accept the bribe?
If he doesn’t accept I think she’ll resort to desperate measures. Steve’s keen to listen to Amy and play the long game with Tyler but Tracy’s had enough and his smug attitude really pushes her buttons.
Do Tracy and Steve worry that they could be pushing Amy further away?
Amy’s furious that they’re interfering but I think they’re so wrapped up in doing what they think is best at times they lose sight of how Amy is really feeling. Tracy’s torn between the desire to protect her daughter and not wanting to upset her. It causes tension between Steve and Tracy and Amy can feel that too.
Does Steve disagree with Tracy’s insistence that they need to take action against Tyler?
They end up rowing, he accuses her of being irresponsible for not listening to Amy and being rash but Tracy just wants to protect her baby and she thinks Tyler should be punished. In her eyes he’s much older than Amy and he should be held responsible.
Do they have any idea what Amy really wants?
Tracy thinks she’s doing the right things but Amy is really upset by all the arguing and the name calling. Tracy doesn’t want it to damage their relationship but Steve can see it is pushing Amy away and he tries to warn her. Tracy’s gutted but she can’t hold back..
Do you think this could damage their relationship with Amy moving forward?
Yes in trying to do the right thing every step of the way Tracy has stopped listening to Amy and the worry is that Amy will look back on this experience and resent her parents for the way they handled it.

I have a feeling that the courts will not permit Steve and Tracy to adopt Amy's baby. They both have criminal records, Tracy for murder.
I'm not sure where this storyline is going. It must be common knowledge amongst Amy's friends that her mother was prison and that's all the ammunition Tyler's family need. The fact that Tracy is threatening and bribing him is evidence to the courts that she's unstable - even if she means well! Something else must be on the horizon, perhaps Amy running away with or without Tyler?
Best outcome for all concerned - Amy to miscarry.
