Have I blinked and missed something.

I have only watched the first Monday episode so far, and Tracy is racked with guilt and tells Rob that she has done something terrible. (not the exact words).

I assume she now knows that she caused the fire that ultimately killed two people.
Am I right and if so, when and how did Tracy discover what she had done?

It was obvious the day that Carla came to the Barlows to question Amy about the candle that Tracy had twigged.

Whilst it barely seemed to bother her at the time, the impact of her actions is clearly weighing heavy now. Better late than never!

She knew right from the start what she'd done.

I remember now. Does seem strange that she suddenly feels remorse.
Very much out of character.

She is murdering Tracy Barlow though, who caved Charlie Stubbs' head in without a second thought - why should she give a shit about the fire? Amy didn't die so I don't know why Tracy's feeling guilty all of a sudden. Kal and Maddie meant nothing to her. Move on Trace - nothing you do will bring them back.

Totally what i was thinking! After the fire we saw her looking worried for about 2 episodes and then nothing. Then Rob came along and she was happy and smiley, (before she knew he had a wife) and then out of the blue shes crying and feeling guilty. Its all abit strange to me lol

It feels like the fire story was put on pause while everybody dealt with Deidres death and now that's all over they have pressed play on the fire story again.

Very strange, surely they could have written a smoother transition.

Knowing Corrie she will be going back to sneering or acting bitchy again in no time.

Charlie Stubbs was a womanising, wife beater, who tortured David Platt for a laugh, he kinda had it coming more than Kal and Maddie.

When did he become a wife beater???
To the best of my memory the only time he showed any phyaical violence towards a woman was when he pulled Shelley's earrings out!! His abuse was all mental but Tracy gave just as good back!! The worst he did to Tracy was have the affair with Maria, hardly reason to spend months planning his murder & then carrying it out in cold blood!! I agree with the poster above if she never showed any sign of remorse for that why would she suddenly have an attack of saintliness over starting a fire that didn't even directly kill Maddie!! The real Tracy would have absolved herself of blame weeks ago & never looked back, which indeed she had until it has become convenient for the s/l to make her all contrite & tearful!! Give us strength!!

I love Corrie but this storyline has been clunky at best.
We all know Tracey is not known for remorse or any such feelings but she has KNOWN all along that she was the one who caused the fire - there has been little reaction from her in the way of regretting her actions or feeling any sorry for her victims families etc.
But last night they went to pains to lay it on thick - the £200 donation to the Maddy fund and crying to Rob about what she had done.

Come on Corrie - it doesn't really flow with her actions over the past weeks and now suddenly we have to accept all of this self-loathing is coming out now?

I know Tracey is making a concerted effort to be a better person but it all feels very forced - Not her trying to change necessarily but the sudden guilt in yesterday's episodes.
