Coronation Street is set for explosive scenes next week when the truth about Tracy Barlow’s return is revealed in a sad twist on the ITV soap

Coronation Street is set for explosive scenes next week when the truth about Tracy Barlow’s return is revealed.

The hit ITV soap aired a surprise return for Tracy last month. Soap fans will recall that actress Kate Ford departed the cobbles when Tracy headed off to Spain to be with her lover Tommy Orpington. Leaving her friends and family behind, including Steve McDonald – who she recently had split from, Tracy decided to quit Weatherfield to search for sunnier climes with her new boyfriend, prompting fans to fear actress Kate had quit the soap.

However, Tracy made a surprise return to the cobbles last month but soon sparked suspicion she was hiding something and her real reason for returning was shrouded in mystery. In upcoming scenes, it appears the truth about Tracy Barlow’s return is finally revealed in a sad twist on the ITV soap. Spoilers for next week see Tracy play a message from Tommy to daughter Amy Barlow, where he begs her to come home and tells her how much he misses her. What will Amy advise and what exactly has Tommy done?

It comes as viewers are convinced Tracy has split from her boyfriend Tommy – and that is the reason why she’s returned so quickly. “Tracy is back. I reckon her life in Spain wasn’t perfect or either her or Tommy has cheated on the other or Tommy has seen sense and dumped Tracy. #Corrie #CoronationStreet @itvcorrie,” one wrote, whilst another penned: “One of them probably cheated on the other when the life in Spain isn’t all glitz and glam or Tommy has dumped Tracy . #Corrie #CoronationStreet @itvcorrie.” Another took to Twitter, now X, to share: “So Tracy got dumped by Tommy? #Corrie.”

Back at the start of the year, actress Kate spoke out about her latest storyline, which saw her fall in love with Tommy and the pair embarked on an affair. Speaking about the storyline, she said: “I haven’t had a storyline as meaty as this for quite a long time.

“Me and Simon haven’t done any kissing scenes for about 10 years, so I was a bit nervous. There’s that initial thing of ‘oh, gosh, I’ve only known this person for five days, this is quite strange.’ Once you’ve done it then you feel OK but I’ve had to come out of my comfort zone a little.”

She explained to The Mirror : “It’s not easy turning on Tracy’s sexy side. I think that’s a lot less challenging to play in your 30s… I’m trying not to be too vampy with it because that would be a bit too much.”
