'Coronation Street' Tracy will still have vile moments, says Kate Ford

Coronation Street star Kate Ford has warned that Tracy Barlow's latest pregnancy will not make her a nicer person.

The actress's scheming character recently returned to Weatherfield with the news that she is expecting Steve McDonald's baby. Events take a new twist later this week when Tracy discovers that she is actually carrying twins.

Ford has now told The People that she does not want Tracy to put her vicious ways behind her as she prepares to become a mother again.

"I wouldn't want to lose that. Tracy is not a sensible or nice person, so it wouldn't make any sense to change her," she explained. "She's brash, she speaks her mind, she always wants her own way and she doesn't care who she hurts in the process."

Ford said that Coronation Street viewers may occasionally see a nicer side to Tracy, but added: "She'll still have her moments of pure vileness. She's the same person - you wouldn't want to cross her."



The 34-year-old also explained that Tracy gets cold feet about the pregnancy when she discovers she is expecting twins, leaving fans to wonder what her next move will be.

"Tracy is mortified when she first finds out she is expecting twins as she really does not know how she is going to cope, even with Steve's support," Ford said. "He has his businesses to run and is not going to be around 24 hours a day."

Coronation Street continues tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.
