'Coronation Street' fans are reportedly set for a new twist in the love life of Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford).
Warning: spoiler alert!
Inside Soap claims that Tracy will turn her attention to Frank Foster (Andrew Lancel), who recently sexually assaulted Maria Connor (Samia Smith).
Tracy decides to snare Foster before he finds out about her criminal past, and when Maria hears about their date she warns Tracy about the businessman.
A source told Inside Soap: "There may be no love lost between Maria and Tracy, but she wouldn't wish what Frank did to her on her worst enemy. Maria feels she has a duty to warn Tracy in case he tries the same thing with her.
"She couldn't live with herself if something awful happened and she'd done nothing to stop it."
But instead of heeding Maria's warning, Tracy goes to Frank and tells him what the other woman has said.
The source continued: "Frank's furious that Maria's warned Tracy off him. He storms over to the factory and warns Carla (Alison King) that, unless she keeps Maria under control, their business deal is off.
"Carla really needs this contract and can't afford to lose it because of Maria's personal issues with Frank. She makes her feelings perfectly clear by letting rip at Maria. Carla would have no qualms about sacking her from the job if that was the best thing for the business."
