Coronation Street’s Tracy Barlow will make a surprise return to the cobbles next week and she’s not happy with changes involving Ken Barlow since she has been gone

Coronation Street’s Tracy Barlow is set to make a dramatic return to the cobbles next week.

Kate Ford had earlier this year exited the ITV soap when her character left Weatherfield for her lover Tommy Orpington, portrayed by Matt Milburn.

This came after Tracy cheated on Steve McDonald, played by Simon Gregson, leading to their marriage breakdown. However, upon discovering that Tommy was moving to Spain for a new job, Tracy hastily tried to reconcile with Steve.

But their reunion was short-lived as she found out about a hidden letter from Tommy inviting her to Spain, leading her to leave Manchester for sunnier shores.

Leaving behind her daughter Amy (Elle Mulvaney) and father Ken Barlow (William Roache), Tracy sought a new life with Tommy.

Yet, she will be making an unexpected return to the street next week, unhappy with changes involving Ken during her absence. Ken had been hospitalised following a home accident, with Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) stepping in to care for him.

However, Tracy’s return brings discontentment, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Tracy is taken aback when she discovers that Ken has hired Cassie as his carer. Cassie is offended by Tracy’s remarks, leaving Ken wondering why she has returned.

She claims her visit is solely to spend time with Amy, but Ken suspects his daughter may be concealing something – but what could it be?

Wil Steve welcome the sight of his estranged wife back on the cobbles? After losing Tracy to Tommy, he was heartbroken. Is there a chance for them to reconcile?
