Yes I know she is very 1 dimensional and has no redeeming features what so ever but I think she is fantastic. The Street would be a boring place without her. Long may the reign of TB continue. One of the things I can't understand about the character is how evil she has become. I know she didn't have the most functioning family in the world but there was no massive event/situation in her past that would cause her to act this way.

That's why she is massively flawed as a so called villianess.

No I find her boring as hell!!!!!!!

Apart from murdering Charlie Stubbs all her storylines have been exactly the same since 2002 & it's become excrutiating to watch!!
Sooner she is out of the Street forever the better for me!!!!

Tracy will crash another wedding (Steve and Karen ?????) and cause "havoc", Dev's shish will hit the fan, Ken will growl "Traceeeeeee", Tracy will whine "why aren't you on my side???", in a couple of weeks everyone will forget about it and let Tracy insult them ad nauseum.... then someone will cross Tracy and she'll plot revenge............

Sometimes have Corrie on in the background but I'll pay attention to her scenes. She's great. <3

I think Tracy is probably the most interesting character on the Street - well, look at the rest of them - but I wish they'd think of something new to do with her instead of this constant repetition of both her words and actions.

She was at her best when she and Tony were plotting to buy the pub. Had the writers carried that plot forward, and she actually ran it, there's have been scope for some good storylines.

I thoroughly dislike Tracey. It's not necessarily the bad stuff that makes me dislike her as there are other villains such as janine that I love probably because Charlie brooks is a superior actress and Janine had redeeming features.

Love her. CS has so many boring deadwood characters that she is a light in the darkness. Yeah she's one dimensional and has no redeeming features but who cares?

I know that there is some stiff competition but she really is the most tedious boring character on the street,

She's on constant rinse and repeat mode.

I actually like Tracy, I find her much more preferable to the insufferable Carla Connor and I think Blackburn has did some decent character development on Tracy and away from the Panto villian she was under various former producers, espeically when she partnered with Rob, then leading to his imprisoment and Deridre's death. We got to see her more vulnerable side.

Sadly the tedious Carla feud has undone a lot of that could work and it feel like we've gone back to the same Tracy from 10 years ago.

Yes, I love the Tracey character

They are, at times, showing her more vulnerable side. The Asian, elderly lady was telling her off for her attitude, a few episodes ago & a flash of remorse passed over her face.

I know someone just like her & she, too, just can't help the nastiness. So, for me, she is very real - but somewhat exaggerated.

I actually think that Tracy is a vindictive, nasty, selfish and spiteful woman who takes delight in heeding misery on others. That said she a great villain and fascinating to watch. Not everyone in everyday life is nice. Okay she is over the top but don't forget this is a street where murders, affairs and the like happen above the national average. I would like to see, however, a storyline explaining how she got to be just this wicked

I love Tracy but I've hated this romance with Robert and the feud with Carla has grown stale. They need to put Tracy with someone with no morals like her....maybe Phelan? I also think it'd be interesting if she developed and feud with Leanne or maybe start hating Audrey since she's getting close to Ken.

Right that is might point, she worked much better with Rob and even Tony. Robert has cheated on her and treats her like crap I would have much rather Tracy did like Charity did to Jai on Emmerdale and set out to ruin his life instead of try to keep boring Robert and go after Carla for the 1,948,475,325th time. .

No she is a terrible character. You say the street would be boring without her, yet it did just fine when she was locked up.

So you find the feud with Carla stale, and the answer is to start another repetitive feud with Leanne? And to knock it off she gets with another "bad boy" type character after already having this with Rob and Tony?

Plus hating on Audrey would just be a rinse repeat of her hating on Nessa. It is a bit pathetic having her telling her dad off under his own roof, especially when she is a woman hitting 40 and still relying on him.

But knowing how lazy the writers are your wish may very well come true.
