Coronation Street producer Stuart Blackburn has hinted that Tracy Barlow may be about to leave her wicked ways behind her.
Speaking at a press event for the soap today (May 22), Blackburn revealed that one character in particular will bring about a change in the Weatherfield villain.
"It'll be the return of Tracy's ex-husband Robert Preston that will start to offer her a chance," he explained. "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," the soap boss added.
"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."
As for the emergence of Tony's affair with Tracy, Blackburn said that Liz (Beverley Callard), Tony (Terence Maynard) and the McDonald family have still "got a long journey".

"They're still there, they're still in it," he clarified.
"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."
One relationship Blackburn said he isn't planning to end any time soon is that of Sally Webster and Tim Metcalfe.
"No way, they're gold-dust! Sally [Dynevor] is producing some of the best work I've seen in decades.
He added: "What you can see between the two of them as well is how much they love being with each other on set, it's just obvious."
Coronation Street airs at 9pm every night next week on ITV.
