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..
But people do like her. A few people I've spoken to in real life think she's great. It's only on this forum where there is overwhelming negativity towards the character, and it's always this forum that seems to think it is indicative of public opinion.
I cannot believe that they are keeping Tracy. From day one of her coming back.
She's over acted' and is dreadful. Was hoping for a short visit.
:mad::yawn::sleep:
They would have done better to bring Karen back. But unlike Kate, Suranne has done very well with her career, because she a good actress.:)

People will be screaming at their TV's alright, but it will be down to the ridiculousness of the character and the odd acting which she has returned with.
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
I hope your second paragraph becomes reality because I couldn't stand any more of the OTT, pantomime Tracy who returned. Watched Corrie for many, many years but more of THAT and I'll be switching off.
"Viewers have loved having Tracy back." has to be quote of the month.:D Where do they get this crap from?
One person probably said it and they've latched onto it for dire life rather than admit that Corrie was doing fine in her absence, didn't need her back and they've shot themselves in the foot.
Her return line about this being the greatest return or something was without doubt the most cringest, worse moment in soap history
Awful, awful, awful, and had to be the worse delivery EVER.
However, as a Tracy hater I HAVE quite enjoyed her bitchy banter with Tina this week, mainly because Tina gives as good as she gets and doesn't just stand there mute.
Plus you could tell that Tracy didn't really want to tell Peter the truth this week but, of course, once she'd babbled it couldn't resist enjoying it and stirring a bit more.
If they tone her down, show people getting one over on HER more often, give Deirdre a backbone when it comes to TracyLuv but mainly stop her being so pantomime she might be more watchable.
But I'm afraid I'll never forget the ridiculous and completely unrealistic manner they've brought her back. She's a cold blooded murderer FGS, she should still be locked up. And as for being found 'innocent' it would have been a mis-triaI, she might (and it's a big 'might') have been out on bail while awaiting another trial but that's all. Plus she couldn't just have arrived back without anyone knowing in the first place! GRRRRR. They really insulted our intelligence on this one and for me, destroyed her character when they made her a murderer in the first place - she was never realistically going to be able to return unless it was many years down the line.
ive never understood the hatred of tracey, most of all i can never understand how one character can put people off a whole show.
What's to like about her though
And I've nothing against bad girl characters, I LOVE watching Janine on EE but she is multi-faceted and portrays the vulnerability underneath the unlikeable surface so well. My problem must be with Kate Ford's portrayal as I never had much of a problem with the character when Dawn Acton was acting the teenage, stroppy Tracy.

Dawn Acton was a much worse actress than Kate Ford.

That's because she spent most of her teenage years listening to tapes in her bedroom before running off with some lad with big hair.
I honstly don't mind Tracy much any more, she is actually much better acted now and better written for, she comes across as more human now.
Overall, I think this is good news, as long as she doesn't return to the panto villian that she was during her Christmas return,
P.S Kate Ford is actually pretty popular with the general Coronation Street community, she won Best Actress in 2007 I think and the character has won "Best Bitch" quite a few times- I think it's only on DS that seems unpopular, the awards speak for themselves.
People have been put off the show by her, and I'm one that is gonna join them. Corrie has been plummeting new depths for ages now (and I have watched from Episode 1 btw), it's got unbelievable storylines now, and very few likeable characters.

I noticed that Betty Driver said something very similar in that documentary about her, that in the old days they'd have scenes of her, Bet and whoever just sitting having a natter before they opened the Rovers, a conversation that maybe wasn't about anything much but just like what happens in real life. But nowadays it's all big events/stunts and most of the conversations all leading up to these big events or stunts. Not much conversation for the sake of it kind of thing. And she must know what she's talking about she's been there for years!.

I was utterly bored the other night when she found out about Leanne and Nick

I, for one, am delighted.
Love her stirring. :eek:
So glad she is staying

In MY opinion of course.

Yeah but she didn't wind me up like Kate Ford's portrayal does! I swear it's that bloody grin! :mad:
LOL! Very true.
:DBelieve me She can...:mad:
She had stated publicly that she missed her son too much and would be going back to London to find work there at the end of her six-month contract.
