Coronation Street's Tracy Barlow is to return to the street as aserial man-eater.
Tracy returns home to Weatherfield at Christmas after turning to mum Deirdre when her marriage breaks down.
A Corrie spokesman said the new Tracy will be "sexy, sassy and opinionated".
She will make a beeline for womanising bookie Peter Barlow, her own stepbrother, before moving onto former sailor Ciaran McCarthy, played by Irish star Keith Duffy.
Tracy last appeared in the soap in March 1999 - when she left the Street after marrying Robert Preston.
The character was last played by Dawn Acton but soap bosses say they are now looking at other actresses because the character has changed so much
