It’s been a whirlwind of drama in Weatherfield as Tracy McDonald and Tommy Orpington’s brief romance has hit a major snag, leaving fans stunned. Just months after their relationship began, Tracy has revealed to her estranged husband, Steve McDonald, that their relationship is in serious trouble.

The saga started in the spring when Tracy decided to leave the UK for Spain, seeking a fresh start with Tommy, a retired footballer who initially entered her life as a painter and decorator. Their affair quickly took a romantic turn, leading Tracy to leave Steve. This betrayal shattered Steve, who was left heartbroken and abandoned.

In a bid to salvage their marriage, Steve proposed renewing their vows. Tracy agreed, hoping to reignite the spark in their relationship. However, Steve’s attempt to rebuild their marriage hit a major obstacle when he burned a letter from Tommy inviting Tracy to move to Spain with him. This act of desperation pushed Tracy to accept Tommy’s offer and leave for sunnier climes.

Back in Weatherfield, Steve attempted to move on by exploring new relationships, while their daughter Amy was burdened with managing the flower shop. Compounding the family’s troubles, Amy’s elderly grandfather, Ken, suffered a fall and required care from Cassie Plumber, a new addition to their household.

When Tracy returned to Weatherfield last week, tensions flared immediately. She and Cassie clashed over Ken’s care, with Tracy taking issue with Cassie’s frequent outings with Ken. Tracy’s return seemed shrouded in secrecy, especially regarding her relationship with Tommy, which she avoided discussing.

In a recent episode, Tracy and Steve had a candid conversation, revealing the cracks in her relationship with Tommy. Tracy admitted feeling isolated in her large Spanish villa, with Tommy’s constant work commitments leaving her lonely. She confided to Steve that her return to Manchester was partly to reconnect with her loved ones and to reflect on her future.

Upon returning to her home, Cassie discovered numerous missed calls and unread messages from Tommy on Tracy’s phone, hinting that the relationship may be on the verge of collapse. Is this the end for Tracy and Tommy, or is there a chance for reconciliation? The drama continues to unfold, leaving viewers eagerly awaiting the next twist in this tumultuous storyline.
