Tracy Barlow makes huge mistake with lover Tommy Orpington in Coronation Street
AFTER calling it quits with long-term husband Steve McDonald, Tracy Barlow is determined to have a fresh start with Tommy Orpington.
But things go south when she forces a meeting between her lover and her daughter Amy next week in Coronation Street.
Matt Milburn reprised the role of Tommy Orpington just in time for Christmas and he’s been wreaking havoc at No.1.
ITV watchers will recall that the former football player embarked on a an affair with Tracy after he was hired as a redecorator.
Blissful weeks went by and while the pair were canoodling in secrecy, Steve (played by Simon Gregson) was hopeful he could get his marriage with Tracy back on track.
Things obviously didn’t go according to plan as Tracy and Tommy were caught red-handed by Tim Metcalfe and Gav Adetiba.
The florist portrayed by Kate Ford tried to throw Tim, Steve’s best pal in the cobbles, off the scent but the cabbie eventually rumbled what was going on.
Although Steve wanted to forgive her and work on their relationship, Tracy dropped a bombshell and admitted it was time for them to call it quits.
She was then made to leave No.1 by her entire family – what’s in store for her next week?
Coming up, Tracy persuades her reluctant daughter Amy (Elle Mulvaney) to meet her for lunch.
Amy agrees, despite the overwhelming tension, and meets up with Tracy for lunch in the Bistro.
However, she’s unimpressed to discover Tommy, Tracy’s lover and the main cause of the rift between her parents, is there too.
When Tracy explains that she thought it would be nice for them to get to know each other, Amy scowls and orders the most expensive Champagne.
Could disaster be ahead?
