It comes as viewers are convinced Tracy has split from her boyfriend Tommy – and that is the reason why she’s returned so quickly. “Tracy is back. I reckon her life in Spain wasn’t perfect or either her or Tommy has cheated on the other or Tommy has seen sense and dumped Tracy. #Corrie #CoronationStreet @itvcorrie,” one wrote, whilst another penned: “One of them probably cheated on the other when the life in Spain isn’t all glitz and glam or Tommy has dumped Tracy . #Corrie #CoronationStreet @itvcorrie.” Another took to Twitter, now X, to share: “So Tracy got dumped by Tommy? #Corrie.”

Back at the start of the year, actress Kate spoke out about her latest storyline, which saw her fall in love with Tommy and the pair embarked on an affair. Speaking about the storyline, she said: “I haven’t had a storyline as meaty as this for quite a long time.

“Me and Simon haven’t done any kissing scenes for about 10 years, so I was a bit nervous. There’s that initial thing of ‘oh, gosh, I’ve only known this person for five days, this is quite strange.’ Once you’ve done it then you feel OK but I’ve had to come out of my comfort zone a little.”

She explained to The Mirror : “It’s not easy turning on Tracy’s sexy side. I think that’s a lot less challenging to play in your 30s… I’m trying not to be too vampy with it because that would be a bit too much.”
