Coronation Street troublemaker Tracy Barlow is to cause even more fiery May-hem in Weatherfield.

In scenes to be shown on the ITV soap later this month, Tracy, played by Kate Ford, will take her explosive revenge on arch-nemesis Carla Connor (Alison King), fuelled after her landlady dreams lie in tatters.

Tracy’s hatred for her rival reaches new heights when she discovers Carla has unknowingly scuppered her and Tony Stewart’s (Terence Maynard) plan to take over the local pub, the Rovers Return.

Consumed by rage, Kate’s alter-ego – known as Toxic Tracy – plots to take her timely revenge, hours before her ex-husband Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) is due to marry Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh).

She will reveal details about her affair with her business partner Tony to his girlfriend Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard), as well as how they wanted to usurp the Rovers throne.

As Tracy’s plan heats up, it will culminate in a fire at the Victoria Court luxury flats.

Coronation Street bosses are planning “lots of twists, turns and surprises” in a week of episodes, airing from May 25 on ITV.
