Tracy Barlow’s biggest storylines

Tracy Barlow’s had her fair share of drama in Coronation Street over the years… here’s a look back at some of the soap legend’s biggest storylines.

  • Adoption as a child: Tracy’s parents Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride) and Ray (Neville Buswell) didn’t stay together. Having never had much to do with Ray, Tracy was adopted by Deirdre’s new husband Ken Barlow (William Roache) – gaining a large extended family in the process.
  • Relationship with Steve McDonald: A one-night stand with fellow Street veteran Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) resulted in the birth of their daughter Amy. At the time, Steve was separated from his second wife Karen (Suranne Jones) although they later reunited. Tracy and Steve have twice been married to each other: first from 2012 to 2013 and later from 2018 to 2024.
  • Relationship with Rob Donovan: Tracy romanced Carla’s (Alison King) brother Rob (Marc Baylis), who later murdered Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan). Upon learning this, Tracy and Carla reported Rob to the police and he was arrested.
  • Murder of Charlie Stubbs: However, Tracy herself has killed before. In 2007, she murdered former lover Charlie Stubbs (Bill Ward) out of revenge for his affairs and deceit. The character was subsequently locked up and was released from prison in 2010.

The actress said: “We saw the spark between them at the speed dating and it didn’t get off the ground. But they are good for each other.

“They are similar ages so they like the same things.

“Even in real life Simon and I sit and chat so much because we like the same movies and know all the same songs, there is something of a familiarity and coming from the same era.”

Coronation Street airs on ITV and is available to watch on ITVX.
