‘Where the hell are they?!’ fume Coronation Street fans as key character ‘goes missing’ from soap
CORONATION Street fans have been left fuming after a key character ‘goes missing’ from the ITV soap.
Weatherfield featured its usual dose of drama over Christmas and New Year for a number of residents.
However, some eagle-eyed Coronation Street fans have noticed that Tracy Barlow – played by Kate Ford – has been missing for a number of episodes.
The character was last seen on Boxing Day bidding goodbye to her brother Peter as he left the Cobbles for the foreseeable future.
Since then, husband Steve has been seen in the pub – reflecting on his numerous marriages, and while Tracy was mentioned, she wasn’t seen.
It’s prompted a number of viewers to ask where she has gone, with one writing a post on Reddit titled: “Where is Tracy?”
They wrote underneath: “I swear I’ve not missed any episodes but now I’m doubting myself.
“Where the hell is Tracy? She wasn’t even out with Steve on NYE. Apologies if this has been explained on the show but I can’t see anything.”
A fellow fan replied: “I suppose they could be trying to show the strain on the marriage, Steve’s out here living his best life saying he misses his ex wives and Tracy’s at home clearly not happy.”
Another responded: “Just weird they haven’t really touched on it. Why not show Steve wanting to go out and her complaining? There was just nothing.”
However, others speculated that any marriage strain between Tracy and Steve will lead to a bigger storyline for Kate in the near future.
One wrote: “Are they setting her up for a fling with Tommy Orpington?”
A fellow fan replied: “Yes they are but I hope it’s not a cliche affair.”
Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
