Tracy Stays Mum
‘AND so it came to pass that the slut lay down with the anoraked freak and lo! a baby was born unto them. Although similarities between the Virgin Mary and Tracy are few and far between, the miracle of Tracys baby has certainly touched Deirdre and Hayley.

| ‘And here’s one I conceived earlier’ |
The doctors told her she may not be able to have babies after her kidney transplant, Deirdre told Hayley. Its a miracle. Unfortunately Tracy doesnt see it that way and is regarding her impending child as nothing more than a cheque for 20 grand.
Hayley and Roy have become increasingly worried by Tracys behaviour drinking pints and smoking in the Rovers and now getting a job as a minicab driver with Streetcars.
They decided to tell Ken and Deirdre about the baby in a vain attempt to get them to make her take her responsibilities seriously. T-T-Tracys having a baby, stammered Roy, and Im the father.
Tracy taking responsibility for herself, however, is about as likely as Alpay Ozalan appearing on David Beckhams Christmas card list.
Youre a freak! screamed Deirdre. Its Hayley thats the freak! retorted Tracy, who earned a slap round the face from her mother for her trouble.
After plenty of chicken-necked ranting from the pair of them, Tracy and Deirdre have called an uneasy truce. Shes carrying our grandchild, after all, Deirdre told Ken. The pair have yet to discover though that their grandchild is going to be sold for 20 grand the moment its born.
Elsewhere in Weatherfield, Candice is causing her own fair share of trouble by dating her flatmates ex-boyfriend. Maria and Fizz came home to find Nick emerging from Candices bedroom looking very sheepish.
The little cow, muttered Maria. Which is a bit rich considering she not only slept with, but also got pregnant by, her former flatmates not even ex-boyfriend.
Peter Barlow has, sensibly, had enough of his women troubles and has left the Street. Lucy and Shelly are going for some long distance revenge, however, by clearing out the bookies of any profits every day.
As his legal wife, Im entitled, Lucy told a worried Bev. Dont trust her, Shelly luv, a worried Bev told her daughter. Shes trouble.
But the Street Psycho space thats been vacant since the departure of the glorious Tricky Dicky looks like being filled not by Lucy but by Brenda Ferns, Bethanys paternal grandmother.
Not only does Brenda love the Baby Jesus big time, shes taken to dropping round to try and convince Sarah Louise to let her take Bethany out for long walks without her. Who knows yet what shes up to? Perhaps shes heard that Weatherfield is a Mecca for baby buying.’
