Coronation Street Bombshell: Tracy Barlow's Exit Stuns Fans

Kate Ford made a dramatic exit from *Coronation Street* as her character, Tracy Barlow, on Monday night. This comes just weeks after her return to the beloved ITV soap, surprising fans who were eager to see more of her after a lengthy absence.

Tracy had just made her way back to Weatherfield following a dispute with her new love interest, Tommy Orpington, whom she had relocated to Spain to be with earlier this year. After more than two decades on the show, her departure raised questions about whether this was the last we’d see of Tracy. Thankfully, Kate reprised her role only a few weeks ago, invigorating the storyline.

However, fans were left in suspense when it was revealed that Tracy would be leaving again, with Kate reportedly already filming her final scenes. In a heartfelt moment, Tracy shared with her daughter Amy, who has been a grounding presence in her life, that she had reconciled with Tommy, her one true love. This meant a return to Spain was on the horizon, and she made sure to confirm her plans with loved ones.

On Monday night, Tracy bid farewell to Weatherfield in an emotional episode. Her ex-husband, Steve McDonald, drove her to the airport, where she exchanged tender goodbyes with Amy and her father, Ken Barlow. Before stepping out of their lives, she encouraged Steve to pursue new love with newcomer Cassie Plummer, leaving viewers with a glimmer of hope for her character’s future.

This episode marks Kate's final appearance as Tracy for now, with rumors swirling concerning the temporary nature of her comeback. Fans are on edge, wondering if this is indeed goodbye for good or merely a pause until Tracy’s return. But don’t fret, soap enthusiasts! It appears that this exit is just another short break for Kate, akin to her earlier hiatus this year.

Excitingly, a full-time return for Tracy is reportedly in the works for next year, sparking anticipation about her next storyline. While the soap hasn’t officially announced when Kate will reprise her role or what her character's new arc will entail, fans are hopeful. You May Like:
