Watching Tracy somehow convince herself that even though she has been with Charlie about ten weeks and that he owns the house, she was entitled to throw him out and keep the house and that the law was on her side, I started to think about how thick the character of Tracy is. The answer is, I think, very, very, thick indeed. Then I started to think about how many other characters there are who are quite exceptionally stupid, and realised that there are quite a few.
Aside from the obvious ones (Les & Cilla Battersby-Brown, Yana Lumb), who would you say was the thickest? My money is definitely on Tracy Barlow, with David Platt a close runner-up.

Yep I agree Kirk definitely has a lift that doesn't go all the way to the top, similarly but maybe one floor less - Les.
But Tracy, Cilla and David - sorry no - I think each of them is sly, cunning, devious and manipulative and probably a few more I can't immediately think of. For me this indicates that they do have quite a good brain - they just use it in a different way to 'normal' people.

I agree about Cilla,Tracy and David...Tracy definatley has something up her sleeve
I would say the thickest four are Kirk,Jason,Sarah & Tyrone...not the brightest bulbs in the box

Tracy never used to be thick. But with recasting you know the old saying, as thick as two short planks.  Patsy |

I wouldnt say Tracy is thick, quite the opposite infact.
I would say that Maria ia quite thick sometimes when it comes to men. Liam also doesnt come across as the brightest of lads, I think his brother does all his thinking for him LOL!

Remember Sam the Python? He was as dim as hell, but was blessed in other ways!

that is your oppinion Billy, but Vera Duckworth is not thick, hardworking and put upon yes her mind work`s out in a different way how to keep her and jack afloat fineancially but she is not thick. Jason Grimshaw is far from thick quite bright as he didn`t marry at a young age. Sarah Louise Platt she is boy mad but not thick. Fiz Brown is bright Mike Baldwin found that out for himself, it`s just a shame she is related to Cilla. and Tracy Barlow is far from thick ,sly cunning, and downright nasty at time`s yes but she is not thick. Kirk I,ll agree with you as he isn`t the brightest star in the sky yet he is a nice lad.

Fizz Brown is most definitely not thick - she is one of the few characters with an education. One time she mentioned her pile of GCSEs, and how her talents were wasted due to being dragged up by a mother like Cilla, who neglected her, dumped her in care and with foster parents, and consequently Fizz could not shine as much with all that other stuff going on.
Past thick characters would include Stan Ogden and Eddie Yeats.

Sarah Platt is probably the thickest. After she had Bethany, she could`ve gone back to school and taken her exams. But no not her. She even has the chance to go further her education now but no not her. She prefers to leech off her Gran at the salon.
Actually her and Jason are made for each other....he`s as thick as the planks he carries everyday at Charlies yard. And he always piled scorn on Todd, but at least Todd was way smarter than he was - academically anyway.

I had forgotten about the lovely Janice - operating mainly on 'reptilian brain' mode, but occasionally achieves more sophisticated functions like smoking a fag.
