Tracy's Cunning Plan

[sallywebster]

She can grin though

[RitaLittlewood]

LOL! Her only talent.

Patsy

[sallywebster]

Ah so you admit she does have SOME talent then!

[RitaLittlewood]

LOL! Maybe when she leaves she could advertise dentures.

Patsy

[BillyNiblick]

Well, let's just say that if I never hear KF intone : I am " SOOOOOOOOOO sorry!" ever again, it'll be too soon.

[RitaLittlewood]

They recycling their Shelley and Charlie scripts?

Patsy

[sallywebster]

Well the difference was Shelly was sorry but Tracy is just pretending!

[RitaLittlewood]

Kept saying "I'm soooooooooooooooooo sorry, Charlie" though.

Patsy

[sallywebster]

She had to say that when Deirdre was in there though to make her think she still loves him.

[BillyNiblick]

What puzzles me is that blockheaded Jason kept a bedside vigil by the comatose Charlie. Why on earth did he do that? Do we have a Waylon Smithers/Montgomery Burns scenario there?

[RitaLittlewood]

LOL! Nothing would surprise me these days.

Patsy

[lostinlondon]

I'm suprised at how much I'm actually enjoying (if that's the right word) storyline, I thought I would hate it but I find myself reall wanting Tracy to get caught out.

Plus it's provided Blanche and Norris with some hilarious one-liners.

[Nick]

Lock her up,throw away the key and lets forget her

[RitaLittlewood]

LOL!

I'm sure she will be, lostinlondon. Someone, sometime, has to make a slip and mention the things she's done in the past with the new head. Plus I'm still amazed that, although during the custody battle with Steve it came out she drugged Roy, nothing was done about it.

Maybe this will be used in evidence against her - the jury won't believe her to be some sort of victim: Steve could put the boot in - tell them how she destroyed his marriage to Karen, how she used and ripped off Roy and Hayley, how she aided and abetted her brother's bigamous wedding etc. She's never going to anyone that she's a sweet innocent type.

[RitaLittlewood]

I don't think Tracy will ever be back. They have made the character unsympathetic and irredeemable. I hope Daran is pleased with himself.

Would they be able to use that stuff as evidence though as it has nothing to do with the charges she is facing at the moment?

[Nick]

yes they have sent the charcter into an unredeemable position...like they are doing with Cilla...

they do so many bad things that in reality no-one would give two shiny sh**es if she rotted in jail for ever

and Claire has a short memory dosen't she..or was it before her time? when she drugged Roy etc...mind you some 'helpful' neighbour would have told her

[RitaLittlewood]

Maybe it couldn't Jezziekins, but it shows the manipulative liar she is so her 'abused girlfriend' lie is just that.

There's only two ways for this Tracy to go - down for 20 years or run away never to return. A decent character has been ruined forever thanks to Daran's obsession with hiring KF.

From Grace Dent in today's Grauniad:

There'll be scant tears shed across Britain for the death of Coronation Street's Charlie Stubbs. Unpopular isn't the word for Charlie, as his funeral this week showed. They could have held his wake in one of those bus station Photo-Me booths and still had room for big Fizz to table dance on the coffin lid.
Charlie Stubbs (RIP) was a brilliant soap baddie. A philanderer and a mysoginist. A violent bully and a relentless liar. Charlie ended almost every scene with a solitary moment spent smirking to himself about his latest huge fib. By the time Charlie died, he was having so many smirks behind so many backs he spent many scenes pulling a face like he had a raspberry pip stuck in his dentures.
Charlie's final parting smirk was at girlfriend Tracy Barlow. Charlie was cheating on Tracy with local loose-knickered simpleton Maria Sutherland. Tracy was really annoyed and considered chucking him and moving back in with Deirdre, before deciding it would be much simpler to murder Charlie, ring the police and confess, go to jail, get it downgraded to manslaughter then get off with it. You know what January's like. Credit-card bills, everyone's detoxing, it's good to have a project to keep you busy.
Most viewers assumed Charlie would die at Christmas. They sat impatiently as he made it way past the Queen's speech, right through Boxing Day and even past New Year's Eve before, hilariously, his brains were smashed to a frothy pulp by a deranged woman in a zebra-effect boob tube. Bizarrely, Tracy lured Charlie into a hypnotic sexual fug by promising him a lap-dance. "I'm the best you've ever had!" Tracy chanted, making reference to her legendary bedroom antics. "Aren't I, Charlie? The best you've had?!"
I'll hasten a guess the answer was no. Unless Charlie's idea of sexual bliss was angry, begrudgful sex with a dead-eyed skeleton, who'd stop occasionally mid-rut to berate him about their joint account shortfall. Charlie was always on the lookout for something better than Tracy. If you'd stuck a blonde wig on a cream horn Charlie would've been ejected from Morrisons cake section for indecency.
Tracy didn't make a clean job of the kill, either, leaving Charlie to stagger about a bit with his arms out like a Scooby-Doo zombie, before crashing to the carpet, as Tracy was calling 999 claiming spousal abuse. "Oooh Tracy! You poor thing!" cried Deirdre Barlow at least 287 times. "The man was a monster and a thug! He deserved whatever he got!" Deirdre later made a comment, between ciggies, about going to Charlie's funeral to spit on the grave. It's a world gone mad.
Luckily, everyone isn't buying Tracy's story. Not the police anyway. The very best thing about the Tracy/Charlie murder story is the return of DC Campbell, the brooding, swoonsome scouse detective dispatched to Weatherfield to investigate various crimes.
I love DC Campbell. Campbell's approach to crime-solving is that everyone in Greater Manchester is a guilty, lying bastard and it's up to their lawyer to prove otherwise. Campbell was last spotted interviewing Danny Baldwin over Mike's death, taking great exception to Danny for daring to not be northern. I'm confident Campbell will see through Tracy's crocodile tears. At Charlie's funeral earlier this week, flanked by a prison guard, her mask was already slipping.
Elsewhere in Corrie, Cilla Battersby is back, bold as brass, having spent her "I'm dying of cancer" fund on a jaunt to America and a pink furry coat which makes her look even more like an Avenue Q escapee. Let it be made clear that Cilla was never dying of cancer. However, she's angry that people seem to be annoyed with her for lying. "What? Would you prefer that I were dead?" Cilla crowed, before tackling Norris for the piddly £1 he chucked in the pot, which wouldn't have stretched to a bus to Laser Quest at the Trafford Centre, never mind Florida.

[RitaLittlewood]

LOL!

[Deleted]

;D

Very funny, and very true. I especially liked...

with local loose-knickered simpleton Maria Sutherland

;D

[sallywebster]

LOL thats true about Maria. I thought she was going to have a fling with Peter Barlow? All they have done is flirt in the Rovers. Maria has been with half the men on the street.

[BillyNiblick]

I can remember when Tracy was a quiet, only slightly rebellious soul who worked away quietly in a florist's shop and was glad of it.

Now, she's a sluttish, amoral, self-centred, callous, sex-mad, calculating, murderous, vindictive, manipulative and nasty c*nt.

Credible?

Answers on a postcard, please ...........

[amysoniacosmokate]

lol
yeah she is turning into a bad girl
