Exit for soap legend after 47 years as she plans new life away from cobbles
Coronation Street could be bidding farewell to one character next week 47 years after their first debut on the ITV soap. Soap fans will recall that only recently a furious Tracy Barlow, played by Kate Ford, finally learnt that love interest Tommy Orpington, played by Matt Milburn, was moving to Spain for a new job as a football coach.
Tracy learnt the news from her scorned estranged husband Steve McDonald, played by Simon Gregson, who took delight in telling her he was leaving the cobbles for sunny Spain. Earlier this year, Steve was left heartbroken to learn that wife Tracy had been having a secret affair with Tommy after meeting in the flower shop on Christmas Day. Tracy’s affair has left Steve, as well as their daughter Amy, played by Elle Mulvaney, and Tracy’s father Ken Barlow, played by Bill Roache, all devastated.
And in upcoming scenes, Tracy could be leaving the cobbles to join her new squeeze in sunny Spain. In spoilers for next week, Steve reads the letter from Tommy inviting Tracy to move to Spain with him and hides it. Meanwhile, over lunch in the Bistro, Tracy admits to Amy that she misses having a man in her life.

Later, Steve returns home and is taken aback to find Tracy there and as he reaches into his pocket for Tommy’s letter, he stops in his tracks when Tracy announces she’d like them to get back together. Tracy assures Steve that Tommy was a stupid mistake and promises she’s back for good.
In the mood to celebrate, Steve heads out for a celebratory bottle of wine but upon revealing that he’s back with Tracy, Dev Alahan is left horrified and refuses to serve him. Instead, Steve suggests they go to the pub and as Tracy heads to the Rovers, he wastes no time in burning Tommy’s letter in a bid to save their marriage.
However, later in the week, it appears Tracy might learn of Tommy’s letter as spoilers reveal she heads home for the last of her things ahead of a move to Spain and admits to Ken, Amy and Daniel how much she’s going to miss them. Wanting to toast Tracy off in style, Ken suggests a farewell drink in the Rovers.
Later, Ken, Amy and Daniel raise a toast to Tracy and wish her well with her new life in Spain as Steve buries himself in his newspaper to which daughter Amy feels sorry for him. Is this really the end for Tracy on the cobbles and will she go through with her move to Spain?
Tracy made her first appearance on the cobbles all the way back in 1977 and actress Kate Ford has portrayed the fiery character since 2002. Prior to this, Tracy was portrayed by Christabel Finch from 1977 to 1983, Holly Chamarette from 1985 to 1988 and Dawn Acton from 1988 to 1999.
Missing Lauren update as her mum Kerry introduced to cobbles
Coronation Street is set to offer more updates on missing Lauren Bolton next week. Soap fans will recall that troubled youngster Lauren abruptly left the cobbles earlier this year and love interest Bobby has been left concerned after he found her flat unlocked with Lauren nowhere to be seen. Soap fans never saw Lauren, who had a mysterious boyfriend prior to her exit, leave and it seems she told no one close to her of her plan to leave Weatherfield aside from Roy Cropper.
Bobby reported Lauren as missing to the police and Roy has found himself under suspicion due to his kind nature, especially after he was caught innocently cleaning Lauren’s flat, which some people thought proved he was guilty and he was recently wrongly arrested on suspicion of murdering his former employee.
As Lauren’s disappearance grips the cobbles’ residents and soap viewers, the ITV soap will be offering more updates next week. In upcoming episodes, Bernie Winter’s phone pings and she’s horrified to see that someone has posted Lauren’s mum’s contact details online.

Roy is appalled as he studies the post and against Evelyn Plummer’s better judgement, calls Lauren’s mum, Kerry, and leaves a message offering his sympathy. Later, after contacting Lauren’s mum, Kerry, a customer in the café makes jibes at Roy, suggesting he’s responsible for Lauren’s disappearance.
It’s not long until fiery Bernie and David Platt leap to Roy’s defence, who has also cruelly found himself trolled online by internet sleuths. However, despite the kind gesture of Bernie and David, Roy is sickened to realise the trouble he’s brought into his friends’ lives.
Daisy Midgeley and Jenny Connor’s Rovers downfall confirmed as theft exposed
Coronation Street’s Daisy Midgeley and Jenny Connor will be rumbled next week as their Rovers Return Inn secret is exposed. Last year the duo decided to put an offer in on the boozer, which had been closed for weeks, using stolen money. Viewers will recall that Daisy successfully accessed Jenny’s late ex-boyfriend Stephen Reid’s accounts, where he had stole from Carla Connor’s factory accounts.
Jenny was initially against Daisy’s idea to use the money to buy the Rovers but soon had a change of heart after a fiery showdown with Carla on the cobbles, where she also learnt the factory was back on track. Jenny agreed to Daisy’s plan but insisted they would eventually pay back an unaware Carla.
As part of the plan, Daisy said although publicly the pub would be Jenny’s, privately they would be equals as she wanted her name on the lease as a co-owner. Last year, the duo learnt that their bid had been accepted with the Rovers officially theirs and they reopened in time for New Year’s Eve.
However, while they’ve managed to keep their criminal business venture a secret so far, the duo will be rumbled next week after Daisy makes a slew of mistakes. In upcoming scenes, love rival Bethany Platt is left suspicious as she spots Daisy with a load of shopping bags.
Bethany suggests she must have spent a fortune to which Daisy snaps that it is all from charity shops in Alderley Edge. Later, Bethany is further suspicious when she overhears Jenny tearing a strip off Daisy for spending so much money and they have to keep a low profile. Things go from bad to worse for Daisy when Bethany learns from taxi driver Tim Metcalfe that he picked up Daisy from the centre of Manchester and not Alderley Edge.
Later in the week, Bethany insists to Daniel that she is going to resolve her differences with his ex Daisy and reveals she’s going to call round to help with preparing dinner that night. In the Rovers, Bethany persuades a reluctant Daisy to let her help with the cooking and whilst Daisy’s distracted, Bethany turns the oven up on the apple pie.
Having discovered the apple pie burnt to a crisp, Daisy heads out to buy a replacement leaving Bethany and Ryan to prepare the evening meal. When Jenny calls Ryan through to the bar, Bethany seizes the opportunity to rifle through drawers, stuffs something in her handbag and hurries out.
Over at the builder’s yard flat, Bethany takes out Stephen’s journal from her bag and flicks through it, intrigued. Will she rumble the truth about the Rovers? Later in the week, things go from bad to worse when Carla makes a dig about Bethany’s accusations, leaving Jenny panicking.
Heading to the Rovers, a stressed Jenny tells Daisy they need to find a way to pay the money back to Carla without her finding out but Daisy is reluctant, claiming they should just keep quiet. Later, with the karaoke night in full flow, Sally admires Daisy’s new designer bag.
Jenny is furious as she scolds Daisy for flaunting her wealth but fails to realise she can be overheard on the karaoke microphone. It’s not long until Ryan steps in to defuse the situation but a suspicious Carla spots the tension. Later, Carla finds a visibly upset Jenny in Victoria Garden and when Carla quizzes her about Bethany’s suspicions over Stephen’s money, Jenny comes clean and admits that they took it but had every intention of paying it back. What will Carla do with the bombshell?
