It's been a turbulent time on the cobbles in Coronation Street recently, with some of the ITV show's female characters facing challenging storylines. 

In Friday night's episode of Coronation Street (March 31), we saw Amy Barlow trying to explain to Summer Spellman that Aaron raped her, much to her friend's shock and disbelief. 

But the reaction of Amy's mum, Corrie veteran Tracy Barlow, got fans talking — and not everything they had to say was positive. 

One viewer took to Twitter and wrote, "Tracy is ruining Amy’s storyline in #corrie."

While another fan wrote, "#Corrie catching up... Tracy's poster about rape is pointless because there's nothing that anyone will do as a result of seeing that poster — you need a face and a test case in order to make any change."

But other Corrie fans were more forgiving, expressing a more favourable view of Tracy's role in the storyline, with one writing, "Tracy and Amy are so cute omg."

Other fans were critical of Tracy's attempt to bring justice to Aaron by creating a flyer. "Flyers now seriously? Obviously, Tracy's just beyond desperate to get justice but is that really the best way to help Amy right now?"

While others commented in the same vein, with another writing, "I cannot believe Tracy thinks it's a great idea to create a flyer?!"

While one Corrie fan more approving of Tracy's behaviour, wrote on Twitter, "If I was Aaron it wouldn’t be the cops I’d be worried about it’s Tracy I'd be worried about."

Will Aaron be brought to justice and will Tracy help that happen? Tune in to Coronation Street tonight to find out.

Coronation Street airs hour-long episodes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8 pm on ITV — see our TV Guide for full listings. You can also catch up on episodes on ITV Hub.
