Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) will be shocked when Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) returns to Coronation Street. A few months earlier, Tracy moved to Spain with her former football teammate Tommy Orpington (Matt Milburn), having departed Weatherfield. Tommy, a painter and decorator who arrived on the cobbles, quickly began an affair with Tracy, Steve's wife, as reported by Metro.
Tracy informed Steve that she didn't want to get back together because their relationship had become boring after the affair was revealed. She packed her bags and moved out of Coronation Street to start afresh in Spain, which made things worse. Despite Tracy's quick return, insiders have revealed that her departure was always intended to be temporary while her character was always expected to return, as per the reports of Metro.
