Please, someone come up with a good storyline to get rid of this character for once and for all! Her return is spoiling my viewing and imo spoiling other characters too - like Deirdre always overlooking her vileness and defending her, and Steve giving in to her every whim in case he loses Amy and turning virtually every other character in the cast into a nasty, bad mouthed cretin!

I really, really hate Tracy Barlow to the point where I feel like switching off when she's on screen!

It's annoying the way she swanned back in and took over as though she has more rights to Amy than the father who's been looking after her for the two years she's been banged up. In reality that just wouldn't happen.

She's such a cardboard cutout villain that it's difficult to see how they can write plots for her that don't involve her blackmailing and manipulating people. She just doesn't ring true and I agree with you that it's difficult to watch when she's on screen.

I would like a murder on the orient express type scenario with the suspicion being on every single cast member and in a one-off flashback, we see every single character twist that knife.......

Liking your ideas, keep them coming! The only salvation for the Toxic tracy character now is death, as she is too rotten to ever be believed as anything other than evil!

What on earth were they thinking to invent a contrived storyline to bring back this ludicrous and one-dimensional character?

As it stands she's got away with murder, which to me is never desirable - we'll have to see what happens to John Stape!

Lets just hope her six-month contract isn't extended and they get rid of her permanently.

I don't think she's a good actress, and maybe that's the problem? Everything she says sounds like she's reading it, rather than saying it (does that make sense?). Maybe if they change the actress...

Would love to see someone stab her and then she bled to death in the street while Deidre was out then everyone just stood and jeared and waved mobile phones at her taunting "No-one's rung an ambulance!" then Deidre came back and called everyone a lynch mob. Ken would be non-plussed as the death of his other daughter didn't even raise his eyebrows.

Well, she was given 6 months, so should end around May or June. However we don't know whether or not she may get her contract expanded.

I never believe she really loves amy as much as she says she does.

But they insist she is one of the best loved characters we love to hate ..that is the reason they brought her back!!..what were they on at the time
Difficult one as she has the Max thing over Steve...so unbelievable her character I do agree hate it when her smarmy mug is on screen ..and yes i do know the off button.But why should i stop watching my fav soap.May be a good ending Amy runs out after she is vile to her and she gets run down by one of Steves taxi cabs.
Any thing ...either make her change or please lets say goodbye and hope Tracey love never returns !

Her storylines get ever more ridiculous - being let off for murder (surely she was guily of something), being knocked over by Claire and pretending it was Becky) and then this blackmail issue over Max. How exactly could anyone prove Becky gave Kylie money for Max anyway - she is her sister so it could easily have been a holiday present while she looks after Max.

If the police haven't bothered to ask about where Kylie is - why should social services care if the kid is being well looked after.

Ridiculous contrived storyline after contrived storyline.

Perhaps it will end with Amy saying she hates Tracy - and then Tracy leaves in a cab never to return.

They should just stick her back in prison where she belongs and then in a few years kill her off, off screen to prevent any prison release story again.

A simple death, as soon as possible would suffice

NB....If anyone from ITV is reading this. We do NOT love to hate her. We just hate her

Tracy goes abroad gets a tattoo and gets hep b/c

Tracy decides to walk across a frozen lake with amy... she falls through and amy lives.

Tracy comes home drunk to her flat while Amy's at the mcdonalds house. she falls asleep on the couch leaving the gas/food in the oven and she dies.

Failing that, Janine from EE decides to visit Wetherfield and runs Tracy over.

I think Stape's overdue another accidental killing

Janine from Eastenders decides to go up to Manchester for a day trip, meets up with Tracey and decides to give her lessons about how to play a soap b***h on screen convincingly and then in a fit of despair runs her over.

The driver of a lorry carrying a load of wooden planks has a heart attack as the vehicle turns into Coronation Street. The lorry overturns and crashes into the Rovers.

Tracy is in the doorway of the pub at the time of the crash and is killed.

Deirdre, on hearing that Tracy is dead, throws herself in the canal.

She is leaving in May

http://www.whatsontv.co.uk/soaps/cor...f-return/11395

I wish they had recast the character, as Tracy could be an iconic character - but not when she is played by KF (IMO). And disastrous for them to bring her back on the basis of letting her get away with premeditated murder. Utterly pointless and annoyng return. They may as well kill her off now.

Re. Becky giving money to Kylie for Max - Tracey 'found out' from Amy for God's sake! I can't understand why Becky and Steve didn't just deny it, after all, Amy only overheard a conversation and she's just a small child who could easily have misunderstood an adult conversation. The whole thing's ridiculous.
