Coronation Street star Kate Ford has predicted that her scheming character Tracy Barlow will carry on loving Steve McDonald even after their upcoming wedding goes wrong.
Tracy and Steve are currently planning to tie the knot next week, but feisty Becky McDonald is expected to throw a spanner in the works on the big day.
Becky (Katherine Kelly) is fighting to clear her name after Tracy falsely accused her of causing her miscarriage. After obtaining proof of her enemy's lies, Becky heads to the wedding ceremony to expose Tracy's true colours once and for all.
Ford told PA: "Tracy thinks it's in the bag. She gets there, she looks round, she feels a million dollars, she sees Becky sat there in the crowd and she starts to panic.
"[Tracy] is still obsessed with him. It's been going on since they were at school together, hasn't it? I think she'll always love Steve - I think he is the love of her life."
The actress also explained that working alongside Simon Gregson, who plays Steve, is always an enjoyable experience.
"We do laugh a lot. Simon's really funny," she said. "When he's acting as well, he does really funny things that just come out when we're rehearsing and stuff."
Coronation Street airs Tracy and Steve's dramatic wedding episodes next Monday at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.
