OMG! Tracy Barlow!

[celebmum]

I cannot believe she just said that to Steve!! !!

It's ok, Deirdre will come through in time for the Christmas Day episode. So just a week of suffering for poor Becky then.

Phew!

Totally unbelieveable.

If she was supposed to be five months pregnant with twins, why was she still not in hospital after having given birth to them?

Also - I am 5 months pregnant and the size of a house..she didn't even look pregnant!

Good point deemented. I'm a bit fed up of all the crap thrown at Becky to be honest. I want to see something nice happen to her.

celebmum - I'm hazarding, but Deirdre better had come through, she can't have that on her conscience! What mum would?

I've just caught up on ITV+1.

It's not been a very plausible pregnancy any stage: I meant they haven't paid even lip service to it being extremely high risk (they're ignoring her backstory, which includes a kidney transplant).

I wish it were Becky staying and Tracey leaving. Becky is returning to what she was before they did the awful (and over sudden) character change; I'd really like to see more of her journey. Tracey is ever more pantomime; a bad fit in this soap.

Having read some spoilers (are they welcome on this thread?) I fear that there are going to be more than just this going badly wrong.

what did she say then??
havent seen it tonight
did she tell Amy to go upstairs and wash her hands for the millionth time?

She told Steve that Becky had pushed her downstairs (she hadn't), and that "Becky had killed the babies" (she had miscarried the previous day, nothing to do with the subsequent fall). Deirdre is the only person, aside from hospital staff, who knows when the miscarriage really happened.

Deirdre will not give Tracey away,she never does.

Hang on, didn't Tracey do this before? I mean obviously apart from the time she brained Charlie Stubbs and then claimed it was self defence?

Why was Steve not at the hospital with her? (haven't seen Corrie) for a while.

a) when she really miscarried, it was because he had been out without her (securing a new hotel contract for Streetcars), and the miscarriage was remarkably quick, and she wasn't kept in (despite her complex medical history)
b) after the fall the next day, he rushed to hospital asap; she told him when he arrived that she had miscarried and lied about both the timing and Becky's involvement.

Deirdre will tell Ken with that big glum quizzical look on her face, and Ken will eventually tell Steve. But probably after Becky's gone (and back to proper acting).

ALl the Tracy Barlow stuff is ridiculous She has had a kidney transplant and it has had no impact on her health while pregnant at all!

I'd forgotten that she had a kidney transplant. Who was the donor?

Don't know but my mum donated a kidney to me and is an avid street fan and says it is never mentioned and she has no issues with her health/fertility as a result!

Deirdre's husband (Samir?) - they conveniently killed him off so he could be Tracey's donor. What luck that he was a match!

She's a terrible actress. The "I've lost my babies" wail and "Why did it have to happen" and "Was it my fault"??? It just sounded so hammed up.

Also, bizarre camera angle for that scene with her and Deirdre, I could see so far up all their nostrils I could almost read their thoughts.

Samir was her donor?? Oh FFS.

let Becky win the lottery and go off somewhere and get Tracy back in prison (what happened to that story anyway)

monkey, yes did she not accuse Becky of assaulting her earlier in the year, even though it was Mousy Claire. I seem to recall Becky getting remanded in jail for it (or am I remembering wrong?)

I think so AmI. Tracey wouldn't be believed if Mother Teresa was her corroborating witness.

Tracey was let out of soapland gaol on grounds that are just plain wrong in term of English law. It was an inaccurately-founded story line that always grates on me when I think about it (especially as she's such a poor character).

In short, her conviction was "quashed" owing to the discrediting of the scientist who gave forensic evidence at the trial. Snag 1: Tracey's defence did not dispute the forensic evidence: Snag 2: Tracey admitted under oath that she had struck the fatal blows. So her conviction simply would not have been considered unsound as the forensic evidence was not in doubt. (She attempted a fake DV defence).

She really does need to be written out asap.

I remember Samir now. Deirdre was 'Mrs Rashid' was she not when she went down for John Lindsey, so to speak (the Tie Rack pilot), and Tony Blair and the Sun freed the Wetherfield One.

As wise as ever, EdithWeston. She certainly never disputed the blows, just claimed that she had been "Right scared, mam, I were terrified of 'im."
