Mary ignores Tracy's carping because she knows that's just Tracy's way. Maybe it comes from having traveled a lot but she's able to get along with everybody, even Norris.Marichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295287855690799143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-43358682231358163362016-10-26T17:43:20.225+01:002016-10-26T17:43:20.225+01:00Long ago, there was that storyline where Tracy sca...Long ago, there was that storyline where Tracy scapegoated Roy, making him believe that he was the father of her unborn child. That storyline, along with so many others, made us see Tracy as pure villain. Lately, however, new juxtapositions have highlighted another side of Tracy luv. She's a villain, yes, but also an outsider. In other words, she's more like characters such as Roy, HayleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-3875405701242485892016-10-26T17:09:59.885+01:002016-10-26T17:09:59.885+01:00I agree with you.

I ...I agree with you. They make a great odd couple.<br />I do not think that what Tracy says goes over Mary's head....I think she is able to overlook it. Afterall she is not able to chastise the behavior as if it were one of the twins...so she let's it slide.<br />Lately you see that she has mentally examined Tracy and has her figured out.<br />Long live the Mary and Tracy combo!Newfy Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10943033475080497912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-16351892747553994062016-10-26T09:50:58.925+01:002016-10-26T09:50:58.925+01:00There was a dip in Mary's character when her v...There was a dip in Mary's character when her van was targeted by (I think)Sophie and Maddie. It was quite out of character for someone who'd travelled the world. Thankfully, she quickly returned to normal. I think the friendship could work. Amy would be entranced by Mary's stories and would learn about life beyond the Street.Humpty Dumptynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-80983400615538468672016-10-26T04:01:24.294+01:002016-10-26T04:01:24.294+01:00Mary is unique in that no matter who she interacts...Mary is unique in that no matter who she interacts with makes for great watching - she can give as good as gets without making it obvious. She can make the most obnoxious character on the street worth watching. She just prattles on in her own little world and is hilarious. I often wonder if the scripts are written for her or she just lets loose and does her "Mary" thing.

Considering how close they are in age, it may make Mary seem more her actual age. I sometimes forget how young she is when she spends the majority of her time around the min older folk.PoidaPetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09420242564352102213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-39342236660932702452016-10-25T20:45:05.891+01:002016-10-25T20:45:05.891+01:00First of all, Tracy 40 next year, wow!

Linda above has a good point about Mary being oblivious to insults, and she has a positive, optimistic outlook on life, vs Tracy's cynical view about everything, a great combination!Loubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863157238652077789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-24563332809454341552016-10-25T20:28:32.052+01:002016-10-25T20:28:32.052+01:00I think the Mary/Tracy thing works because Mary is...I think the Mary/Tracy thing works because Mary is so oblivious to insults that most of what Tracy says just rolls off her back. Be interesting to see what comes of it.Catsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15532725685271586446noreply@blogger.com
