How does Tracy feel having taken her revenge on Cassie? Did she really want to see her back on drugs and on the streets?
Yeah I think so, in that anger that she felt for her she wanted her to get some sort of karmic punishment. For that hot minute she wanted her to have some sort of punishment for what she did because it felt like Cassie had got away with it and Tracy doesn’t think she should get away fully with what she did to Ken. What she did to Ken was extreme and Tracy’s really angry that it’s gone seemingly unpunished, especially because Steve still seems to find her attractive. It’s not that Tracy wants Steve, but she can't believe that he would still think that and it’s like this woman has just got away with it.
Do you think there’s some jealousy there due to the bonds Cassie developed with both Ken and Steve?
Not so much with Steve but I think with Ken yes. I think Tracy’s quite happy to be out of the relationship with Steve because she just got so bored of him but I do think definitely with Ken.
Is Tracy worried about how Ken might respond to what she did to Cassie, given that he still seems to have some attachment to her despite what she tried to do to him? Can Tracy even comprehend that?
All she can think about is that Ken is going to forgive Cassie, she's going to get away with it and everybody's just going to forgive her. That’s making her so angry and upset.
I presume Tracy has heard that Rob is on the loose, is she shocked to come face to face with him?
Oh yeah definitely, she can't believe it, but at the same time she's still got a bit of a soft spot for him, so she does let him come into the house without much persuasion, But she is shocked to see him, she can't believe it. She doesn't want to get involved in it, but she just feels bad that she's not helping him because at a time they were in love. I don’t think she feels like that for him anymore but she acknowledges that he came back for her when he burst into the courtroom. She feels she owes him this but she says one night then you have to leave.
Rob wants her help, how does Tracy respond, does she take some persuading?
A little bit, but not really. She says I’ll do this for you for one night but that's it. However then he starts to want more and to stay longer and that starts to really stress her out.
Are there still any feelings there for Rob on Tracy’s part despite everything?
I think she's moved on, those feelings for him are long gone.
Does she see herself in any danger from Rob?
Not at first but as things escalate she suddenly realises this is quite serious. She doesn’t think he'd ever hurt her really but there's always that level of doubt so there is a little bit of fear.
Is she worried about what could happen to her if she gets caught harbouring Rob?
Oh yeah definitely, she says to him so many times, I'm not going back to prison for you, you've got to leave. Then the more he resists, the more panicky she starts to get about being caught out rather than being afraid of him.
How does she react when Rob suggests she leave with him and they start a new life together?
She can't believe what he's talking about, she just thinks it's crazy. He's got a gaping hole in the side of his body and some sort of infection and she just thinks he’s lost his mind. He needs to get to the hospital, he’s not talking sense. I think it would take a lot to persuade her at this point.
Would you say Rob was the love of Tracy’s life or did she think Tommy was the one?
She really loved Rob but so much happened there to take that away. I think Tommy would have been the one, but I think he’s just so obsessed with football that she never came first. I think if he'd have had a different mindset, she would have been so happy with him, but he’s just obsessed with football and she can't compete with that. I think out of all her relationships she really wanted this one to work the most.
Do you think she still has any feelings for Steve deep down or is that well and truly over for Tracy?
Yeah, I think she’s just happy with Steve being Amy’s dad and keeping him in the friend zone.
Have you enjoyed working with Marc again?
Yeah, it's been great, I’ve really enjoyed it. It was so nice. I mean, for a start he looks exactly the same, like he hasn't aged at all, but we just went straight back into it. It was like he hadn't gone and it was really nice to play scenes with him again.

Well I had forgotten all about Rob and Tracy. She does get around. I read up on WIKI and it came back to me. But really, all these dirty dealings and murders just merge into one.
