'Coronation Street' Kate Ford: 'I don't feel sorry for Tracy'

Coronation Street star Kate Ford has admitted that she is unable to sympathise with her character Tracy Barlow in her current storyline.

Tracy gets her comeuppance in next week's episodes when arch-rival Becky McDonald ruins her wedding to Steve (Simon Gregson) - turning up at the ceremony with proof that she has been lying about her miscarriage.

Becky (Katherine Kelly) was left devastated last month when Tracy falsely claimed that she was responsible for the loss of her unborn babies. However, the feisty blonde gets the last laugh when she gets hold of Tracy's medical records to clear her name.

Ford told The Sun of Tracy's wedding day woes: "When I watched it, I didn't feel any sympathy for Tracy. She is quite cold and when she wants her own way, she will do whatever it takes.

"As soon as Tracy loses control she turns nasty, which is in her nature. I don't think she gets up in the morning wanting to be nasty - she can't cope with things not going her way. She thinks she deserves happiness."



The actress added that she tries her best to understand Tracy's twisted mind in order to portray the scenes.

"She just didn't want to lose what she had wanted for so long," Ford said. "It's dark, but the way she sees it is that Becky pushed her emotionally."

Coronation Street airs Steve and Tracy's dramatic wedding episodes on Monday at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.
