Coronation Street fans may be in for a surprise next week as spoilers hint at the return of Tracy Barlow, following her recent departure. While it's not confirmed what prompts her return this time, there's a possibility that it could be an offscreen comeback or she might appear onscreen but not in Weatherfield.

The latest soap teasers for next Wednesday's episode suggest she is back on the Cobbles, although no spoiler images have been released. Her 'return' is quite sudden with no prior mention, only that she is involved in a storyline with her father Ken Barlow.

Earlier this year, Tracy left for a new life abroad with Tommy Orpington and returned briefly after a fallout with him before leaving again to join him. If Tracy is back on the cobbles already, what has transpired now and could Tommy be accompanying her?

Is her return permanent, and has something occurred that has led to her coming back so soon? It was known that Tracy would return at some point, with actress Kate Ford reportedly reprising the role full-time after her two stints offscreen this year.

However, it has not been disclosed when she will be back. These spoilers are the first hint that the comeback is imminent , reports the Mirror. That said, they don't provide enough information to confirm a full return and her reappearance onscreen.

The upcoming episodes hint at a potential return for her character, given the circumstances surrounding Ken. However, nothing is set in stone yet.

The spoiler indicates that Cassie Plummer is let go as Ken's carer due to financial difficulties, with his family still suspecting she's exploiting him for money. When Ken falls ill, he offers Cassie an extra pound per hour to resume her duties as his carer.

It appears Cassie contemplates the offer, until Adam Barlow and Steve McDonald reveal everything to Tracy. Tracy then demands Cassie to leave permanently, accusing her of leeching off Ken.

With Cassie out of the picture, Tracy insists on caring for her father. But when he experiences a nosebleed and confesses feeling terrible, they are compelled to rush to the hospital.

The spoiler strongly suggests Tracy accompanies him, raising hopes for her definite return to the screen. The forthcoming episodes should clarify her presence and duration amid a possible permanent comeback.
