Are they over doing Tracy's sarcasm?

She's a vile cow, but she's so vile she always made me laugh.
But now, every time she speaks it's one sarcastic word after another and it's becoming really predictable, repetative, boring and losing it's impact.

I don't get the hate for Tracy. The actresses acting is a bit crap but I think the character is brilliant to the point where it doesn't really matter, and so it kind of fits the character.
Agreed.
bib: About 10 years ago.;)
But yes OP, they are going too OTT with her lately. Nearly every comment is snide/nasty.
In the most painful way possible. Alone, and afraid, and in her final moments coming to realisation that all the pain and harm she has caused people over the years has finally caught up with her. She is the sort of character that deserves this.
Generally though, yes they are over doing it. She didn't used to be just horrible to everybody for no reason at all. Emily, Rita and the like she was quite civil with.
The recent development I really dislike is her turning against Peter as they were always close - they bickered but loved each other as true siblings and that has just disappeared for no good reason at all.
When she was just nasty to anyone and everyone so they could have the "who tried to kill tracey" storyline for Claire's exit!
Like you said at least when she had Steve as a motivation it was annoying but had a reason; now it's just Tracy is nasty to anyone for any reason!!
Becky did!
LOL Yeah she did. Go Becky!
It's a bit daft too, now she's working in the shop and should be trying to keep customers happy. Very bad for business to be so bitchy and nasty to customers and potential customers. Rob has mentioned this, but surely he'd be mad as hell that she was jeopardising their livelihood for not particular reason except she enjoys being nasty.
This is very true - there really has been no explanation for why she is as vile as she is. Yes, she was a bit of a brat in her teen years and Ken and Deardre's divorce affected her badly - especially when Denise fell pregnant and Ken started to priorities the new baby and ignore her when she was about 18.
Also I know there are unresolved issues between her and Dreary ver Samir's death but it's not really enough. She left a slightly sulky but basically okay 20 year old and returned an utter and complete cow - almost to the level of sociopath.
It is so different to David whom I totally understand given his experiences through his life.
TRUE
Even sociopaths are frequently charming on the surface so this cartoon pantomime villain is not really believable at all....in many ways she's acting unlike a sociopath, and more just like a rude and beligerent individual
You would think she would rapidly build up an unsavoury reputation given how rude she was to Dennis and Tina when doing business with them in the shop.
There is nothing subtle in her delivery, and I just wish that they would kill her off.
Good post.
I totally loath this character. No redeeming features whatsoever.
She reminds me of a character on a reality show who has created a nasty persona and is fake for the sake of doing well. But there is no explanation from the scriptwriters as to why Tracy is being rude to people she has never had a falling out with before, there's nothing in it for her.
It makes the character quite unbelievable and she comes across as a "pretend" murderer as well. Nobody on the street is afraid of her....it's as if the writers are admitting the character is an absurd caricature and not to be taken seriously by anyone.
I checked this thread out thinking EE's barmaid had been getting more lines!
