Coronation Street teases Tracy's affair after "one-off" fling with Tommy
They made eyes at each other across the bar!
Tracy McDonald's (Kate Ford) affair with Tommy Orpington (Matt Milburn) kicked off in tonight's Coronation Street (31st January 2024).
While Tracy's husband Steve (Simon Gregson) is in France, ex-footballer Tommy is decorating the couple's bedroom in his new profession.
When Mary Taylor (Patti Clare) realised that Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) liked Tommy, she suggested that Tracy could play matchmaker. But Tracy was not keen, clearly having the hots for him herself!
Spotting Toyah and Tommy chatting on the Street, with Tommy handing Toyah his business card, Tracy rushed over to warn her that Tommy was a womaniser.
Despite Tracy's track record for fibbing, Toyah believed her and handed her the card to return to Tommy. Back at the house, Tommy impressed Tracy with his work, and she quizzed him on his chat with "local drip" Toyah.
Tommy made his feelings known, and while Tracy attempted to maintain that she's a married woman, it wasn't long before the pair were kissing.
He felt guilty as they pulled away, but efforts to stop his passion with Tracy fell flat as they fell into another passionate kiss. One thing led to another, and she and Tommy later emerged from the bedroom.

Tommy insisted that their fling was a one-off, something which Tracy promised she understood as her dad Ken Barlow (William Roache) returned home.
Job apparently done, Tommy packed up to leave – only to be accosted by super-fan, Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) who persuaded him to take on another decorating job.
Dragged into the Rovers for drinks, Tommy came face-to-face with Tracy at the bar and quietly revealed he would be sticking around a while longer. As they headed to their respective tables, Tracy and Tommy made eyes at each other.
But with an affair on the cards, how long can Tracy keep her antics secret from Steve?
