The bad blood between Tracy Barlow and Cassie Plummer reaches boiling point this week on Coronation Street, as Tracy’s jealousy and scheming finally push Cassie too far. What begins as a petty act of sabotage quickly spirals into a full-on feud that threatens to divide the Barlow household — and drag Steve right into the middle.

Tracy Can’t Let Go of the Past

Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) has never been known for her patience or forgiveness, and Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) has become her latest obsession. Their feud stems from Cassie’s shady past — namely, drugging Ken Barlow (William Roache) while working as his carer and splurging on his bank account.

Though Ken has somehow managed to forgive her, and Cassie now resides at Number 1 as an unwelcome house guest, Tracy can’t move on. Watching her ex-husband Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) dote on Cassie only adds fuel to the fire, especially as the divorce looms and Tracy fears her money could end up in Cassie’s hands.

Cassie’s New Job — and Tracy’s Scheming

In upcoming episodes, Cassie decides it’s time to pull her weight and take on a job. Steve, eager to please his new girlfriend, offers her shifts on the switchboard at Street Cars. Cassie is thrilled — but Tracy is livid.

Her resentment peaks when a delivery arrives at Number 1: a box of wine “from Cassie,” meant to replace the bottles she drank from Ken’s stash. Tracy assumes Cassie is manipulating her father all over again and storms to the cab office to confront her.

As the two women argue, Tracy spots her chance. With Cassie distracted, she quietly unplugs the Street Cars switchboard, leaving Cassie’s first shift in chaos.

Cassie Strikes Back

When the system crashes, Cassie is humiliated — and furious. But Tracy isn’t finished yet. Playing innocent, she later claims she wants to “bury the hatchet” and end their feud. Cassie, though wary, agrees to hear her out.

It doesn’t take long for Cassie to realise Tracy’s real agenda: she wants Cassie to persuade Steve to withdraw his claim on Preston’s Petals, the florist shop at the heart of the divorce settlement.

Realising she’s being manipulated, Cassie plots her own revenge. Viewers can expect a fiery comeback — one that leaves Tracy rattled and forces Steve to pick a side between his ex-wife and his new girlfriend.

Sparks Fly in Weatherfield

Between power plays, romantic jealousy, and sabotage in the workplace, Coronation Street is about to deliver another explosive round of classic Weatherfield drama. And when Tracy Barlow and Cassie Plummer go head-to-head, you can bet the fallout will be anything but quiet.
