First Pics: Tracy's prison return in Corrie
Published Wednesday, Apr 21 2010, 18:35 BST | By Kris Green
Kate Ford makes her much-anticipated return to Coronation Street next month as murderous Tracy Barlow.
Currently serving time at Her Majesty's pleasure for killing her then-boyfriend Charlie Stubbs with an ornament, Tracy learns of her grandmother Blanche's death and begs the prison governor to grant her day release for the funeral.
Persuasive as ever, Tracy's granted permission to attend but the sight of Becky with Steve and daughter Amy tips her over the edge - and as a catfight ensues, Tracy's dragged back behind bars.
Having learned of Becky and Steve's plans to adopt, Tracy's mind is kicked into overdrive as she begins plotting ways in which to scupper their chances. On hearing that her once-neighbour Gail Platt is being held in custody pending her trial, a devilish plot quickly forms in Tracy's mind.
Settling on her most outrageous plan to date, Tracy turns to the police and makes them an offer that they can't refuse - she'll do everything she can to help convict Gail in return for an early release from prison.
Before long, Gail finds herself with a new friend and confidante when Tracy becomes her cellmate.
Little does Gail know, though, that Tracy's working against her in a bid to secure her own freedom.
