Tracy has it out with Steve - but she suspects the wrong woman

Coronation Street actress Kate Ford has revealed that Tracy Barlow will call off her wedding to Steve McDonald if she discovers that he slept with his ex Leanne Battersby.

The 41-year-old actress explained that Tracy would be devastated if she found out the truth about her husband-to-be.

“She won’t marry him if she finds out, she’d be really hurt,” she explains.

Kate goes on to say that Tracy, though, wrongly suspects Steve has used his free pass [that wasn’t!] with Abi.

“Steve goes missing on the wedding morning and she starts to think about the free pass again, she puts two and two together and makes five and decides he’s used the free pass on Abi.

“She has a massive meltdown, a huge row with Abi and then goes to the garage and sabotages Michelle’s car, which Abi has been working on, in the hope Abi will get into trouble. She’s not thinking straight.”

Tracy Barlow and Steve McDonald on their big day - but will the ceremony go ahead?

So, will the wedding actually go ahead? Or will Tracy storm off? And will she find out about Leanne before saying "I do"?

"You'll have to wait and see, it doesn't get off to the best of starts. Tracy arrives at the venue determined to have it out with Steve. He's got a lot of talking to do to calm Tracy down."

Meanwhile, off screen Kate says she’s at her happiest on the soap when she’s playing comedy scenes with Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald).

“I’m really enjoying Steve and Tracy being back together and playing the humour in their relationship, we’ve had such a laugh together, that’s where I’m happiest playing the comedy stuff with Simon.

“I’ve also had some great scenes with Bev (Liz) recently and it’s always nice being back in the Barlow house.”

Coronation Street, featuring Tracy Barlow, continues on ITV.
