Coronation Street producer Stuart Blackburn has revealed the soap villain Tracy Barlow may be about to leave her wicked ways behind her.

Speaking at a press event for the Weatherfield based soap Blackburn revealed that the return of one character will bring about a change in one of the show's most evil characters, played by actress Kate Ford. 

Blackburn explained: "It'll be the return of Tracy's ex-husband Robert Preston that will start to offer her a chance.

"He is essentially a good guy. He knows who Tracy is - there's no rose-tinted spectacles.

"We'll start to see the transformation of Tracy through him, with his support and help.

"He knows how bad she can be and he knows that so much of it comes from a place of vulnerability - she's scared! He's going to be a good influence on her life."

Blackburn also spoke about Tracy's affair with Tony (Terence Maynard) admitting that that Liz (Beverley Callard) and Tony still have a long journey together.

He said: "They're still there, they're still in it. Tony through all of this, in his misogynistic way, would say that he never stopped wanting or loving Liz. He'll blame Tracy for all of this, but Liz will get her vengeance."
