It's hard to believe that she was this cold, one dimensional character not so long ago.

Now, she's warmer and funnier. She's one of my faves now.

    I enjoyed seeing her more compassionate side tonight.

    To be honest, if she were an old lady she'd be just like Blanche. I enjoy watching her, she's pantomime and I love it!

    You are joking I presume Mr James...

    The best thing about Monday's ep was when Tracy got a phone alert about the For Richer For Poorer catwalk :D - which she left her dying brother's bedside for :D:D and returned with about 5 designer dress bags :D:D:D

    She's the only character worth watching for these days

    She is still a cold blooded murderer who should be serving the remainder of her sentence. Give it time and she will be back to making stupid snide remarks, she never changes.

    I've always like Tracy, and she's always been funny and had a lot of one liners. But recently she has become more compassionate to her family

    I cannot stand her. Both the actress and the character.

    A lousy actress playing a lousy unlikeable over the top character.



    Please have her run over by a large lorry!
    The character, that is!

    Which, considering that she's a murderer, liar, cheat, thief and tart, is rather worrying.

    She's being written more consistently, with the writers making her closer to Deirdre and Blanche in her general approach (and one-liners). She's also shown a more caring side, which seems to be playing to the actress's strengths. She and Deirdre now get most of the good one-liners (along with David).

    I've always like her and I think the actress is actually ok, granted not the best but not as bad people make her out to be. Tracy is one of the best characters in Corrie atm, compassionate, funny and not a complete misery.

    I have always liked Tracyluv and contrary to what a lot of people say I think she is a very good actress she excels in comedy and the bitchiness though it is nice to see her more caring side and I hope the writers keep this going.....

    It's great to see more dimensions to Tracy's personality, and I love her relationship with Deirdre. Her bitchy comments still make me laugh, and it looks like Amy is another Tracy in the making,. since she got away from Michelle.

    Tracey compassionate? You must be joking!!!

    She and Rob did Peter no favours when they negotiated toe lease on his bookies shop.

    She's nasty to just about everyone in the street.

    She's brought her daughter up to be a liar and believes her over everyone else.

    She took dodgy goods from Tony behind Rob's back for the shop.

    She went to a fashion show and is more concerned about her wedding than she is about her brother at death's door.

    And that's just the things that immediately come to mind.

    Absolutely J43! Is it just us? Where's all this love for Compassionate Tracy coming from? Sure, the writers might throw her the odd nice gesture once in a while, just to change the record - but she's the most gloriously self-centred, scheming, emotionally retarded character on the Street. And I wouldn't have it any other way :D

    I think she's hilarious. Gutted that Rob will eventually have to leave as they make such a good pair. Compassionate Tracy is OK but keep it in small doses please. I like my Tracyluv evil!

    Yep. Nothing against people liking her, but if they think one brief nice gesture is her softening up or being a great character it is no surprise why the writers churn out such rubbish.

    Apparently soon she tells Deirdre
    to put down Eccles when her obnoxious brat makes up a lie the dog bit her.
    Wow, isn't she so likeable. Terrible mother, a user, sociopath, liar and killer.

    She has been much better since being paired with Rob.

    Can't stand her, and her daughter is even worse!

    I don't have a problem with either the character or the actress.

    As an actress she is much more accomplished than the 'actors' who play themselves as Fizz, Katy or Maria and has brilliant comic timing. As a character, she is certainly not someone I would want as a friend, but a street full of Marias would be pretty dull to watch.

    Tracy's always one snide comment away from being her smutty self.

    That said, I welcome her forthrightness at times.

    Yes she has been better with Rob they do work well together, I have actually preferred Rob too since he got with Tracey, the thing is though is that I still cannot forgive her for murdering Charlie >:(

    I'll kind of feel sorry for her when Rob leaves as she genuinely seems to really love him. And I have liked Tracey a lot more since she's been paired with Rob. They suite each other very well. I wish Rob wasn't the murderer. Then he could of stayed.
