When I said he died as a result of the knock on the head, I meant he eventually died. Had Tracy not hit him on the head, intending (I believe) to kill him, he never would have been in position to be in a hospital in a coma where Tracy could come in and finish him off.

Now the writers have decided that getting her and Steve back together is a good thing and will amount to all sorts of carryings-on, gurning to beat all get out and Tracy's wise cracks and smirks constantly. Oh and of course another pregnancy is probably I the works somewhere.

Who are the two actors we're told are absolute sweeties and are rolled out for interviews to prove their genuine niceness. Connor McIntyre and Kate Ford, both lovely people playing horrible people.

As Charlie opened his eyes she stared into them and said she wanted him to know it was her who killed him. Not much room for nuanced there. This is psycho territory. I prefer characters who have courage, truthfulness, compassion, humour.

I’m glad they’ve toned her down recently. <br /><br />I also think the writers made a big error in the way they wrote the Charlie Stubbs death story. It should have been more nuanced, with more room to argue that, like Shelley before her, Tracey was a victim of his prolonged abuse. That may still have not been enough to withstand a murder charge, but would have created Rapunzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13887730490326081434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-25949928809395715732017-11-29T19:49:12.015+00:002017-11-29T19:49:12.015+00:00I'm not a huge fan of Tracy Barlow, though I t...I'm not a huge fan of Tracy Barlow, though I think Kate Ford is great. Dearest Sophie Williams, I enjoyed your commentary very much with the exception of your apparent approval of Tracy whacking Charlie over the head with the statue. You may recall he died as a result of that whacking? And Tracy has never once to my recollection said the words "I killed someone and that was wrong. I Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
