'Coronation Street' Tracy pregnancy is the ultimate revenge, says Kate Ford

Coronation Street star Kate Ford has hinted that her scheming character Tracy Barlow is likely to wind up Becky McDonald with her pregnancy news.

Tracy returns to Weatherfield at the end of next week, dropping the bombshell that she is expecting Steve McDonald's baby following their recent one-night stand.

Although Tracy did not plan the pregnancy, it soon becomes clear that she sees it as her perfect chance to win over Steve (Simon Gregson) for good.

"Being a family with Steve and Amy - and now the new baby - is what she's wanted for a long time, and this is the perfect way to get it," Ford told All About Soap. "She didn't do it on purpose, but it's lucky for her."

Discussing Becky's (Katherine Kelly) involvement in the storyline, she continued: "It's the ultimate revenge for Tracy. She told Becky she'd get her man and she did! And now, to be pregnant with his child - the thing Becky couldn't give him - is just perfect for Tracy."

Ford added that viewers will have to wait and see whether Tracy and Steve really do have a long-term future together.

She said: "Tracy and Steve both love Amy, so who knows? There are loads more twists and turns ahead in this storyline with Becky and Steve, but I can't tell you more yet!"
