This just in and it's official because ITV says so, Kate Ford will be back on screen as Tracy Barlow this spring with a view to a permanent return by the end of the year!ITV reports that we'll see her in prison for a couple of months in the spring and will be involved with a storyline with "another well loved character" and will likely be out of prison and back on the cobbles by year's end.
The "well loved character" can only be Steve - or possibly Becky - and having her back to cause trouble with Steve and Becky will be interesting, to say the least. And if you think the neighbours gave kidnapper John Stape a headache, can you imagine what they'll do with a murderer? Stay tuned!
