Coronation Street star Kate Ford has reportedly signed a new contract to stay with the soap.
The actress, who plays Tracy Barlow, has agreed a six-month deal worth £80,000, committing her to the show until at least 2012, The People reports.
Ford had previously decided to leave at the end of her current contract in May because commuting to Manchester from her London home meant she missed her son, Otis. However, show bosses have now persuaded her to change her mind.
A source said: "Viewers have loved having Tracy back. We're delighted she's signed a new contract. She's here for the foreseeable future."
Another added: "She's going to be causing huge trouble for Steve and Becky and there will be run-ins with Liz. Viewers will be screaming at their TVs when they see what she does next. The bitch is well and truly back."
I predict a lot of trouble!

Well, if this is the case, they`d better get some new scriptwriters and researchers in, because the current lot have lost the character all credibility. No one, not even her parents, would allow her to get away with her vileness in real life. Yes, I know its a soap, but there`s a point beyond which it just becomes a joke and a kid`s horror story.

Wow, she is going to cause trouble for Steve and Becky? Never saw that coming, not like that hasn't been done before :rolleyes:
Seriously though, Eddie gets axed, yet Tracy gets given a new contract. I don't mind Kate Ford, but all this causing trouble for Steve is getting extremly boring.
And it also doesn't make sense because Kate said she was leaving after five months because she missed her son so much (everyone suspected she felt "bullied" out by viewers). Was this just a red herring/lie to make people feel bad/think she was leaving?
I know. It's nothing new. Tracy did all this with stuff Karen years ago:sleep:
I love Liz! I'm also glad Tracy is staying! I HATE her character!!! but thats why I want her to stay, more fun and drama! lol
I'm so disappointed & angry with the producers of Coronation Street for this!
*does the Unpopular Opinion Dance*
Sorry, but I like Tracy a lot (when she's written with more than 1 dimension like she used to be) and don't think Kate Ford's acting is anything to sniff at when compared with the favourites of these forums like Sophie and Peter!
I like the way Amy's lasted so long in CS. EE and CS are good at rearing soap kids into characters! (EE Peter, Lucy Janine. CS Rosie, Sophie, David, Tracy herself etc) So it'll be nice if they keep her in and she goes into a teenager on-screen and then gets her own storylines
Ditto
I am very happy with good writing (more Barlow family scenes) Tracy will fit in just fine.
However the scenes with Peter gave me a glimmer of hope, maybe she is not a cartoon baddie after all, maybe there is more scope
The bloke in charge most probably, believes his own hype and decisions
as i said in another thread the actress has never been on a contract longer than six months...
and in her last stint her leaving was always a source of speculation..
and being realistic in her three and a half years off..i didn't see her in any other roles
At the very least they could have put "Despite mixed reactions..." (that would STILL be a HUGE understatement) - coming out with total BS is ridiculous! Corrie must have seen how no one likes her..
I'll be fairly pleased if she stays, always found her very easy on the eye and this last week her acting ability has got much better.
Please no, i was convinced she was only staying till her 6 month contract was up.
This has put a right downer on my Sunday
Have to agree there. Her acting has improved, but maybe that's down to the storylines, usually it's Tracey against the world, makes a change to see a more human side to her. All this evil Tracey stuff, goes a little over the top.
And yes, she is pretty
