in 2005, ford made the decision to leave the serial but after being promised of more "juicier storylines" ford decided to stay. in january 2006, it was reported by the "news of the world", that ford had again insisted that she will bow out next year when her contract expires. a "coronation street" spokesman told "digital spy": "kate is contracted until next spring so she's with us for the foreseeable future." bill ward who plays charlie stubbs, the boyfriend of tracy announced his departure from the serial in june 2006, an "itv" spokesperson commented: "contrary to press reports bill’s decision to leave is not linked to the future of the character of tracy barlow. actress kate ford is contracted to "coronation street" until march 2007." after months of speculation, ford announced in august 2006 that she is to quit the show next year. talking of her decision to leave, she told "the sun": "it has been the best time of my life, playing tracy barlow. i cannot wait to see what the writers have got in store for her." producer steve frost confirmed that tracy would not be killed off in her exit. "kate will be involved in a major storyline which will see her leave next spring," he said. "kate is a great asset. her character tracy has left the cobbles before and we hope she’ll return one day."

on 23 october 2002, it was reported that tracy would be reintroduced later that year. a show spokesman says the new tracy will be sexy, sassy and opinionated. she will make a beeline for womanising bookie peter barlow (chris gascoyne), her own stepbrother, before moving on to former sailor ciaran mccarthy (keith duffy) and knicker factory boss joe carter (jonathan wrather). tracy returns home to weatherfield at christmas after turning to her mother, deirdre barlow (anne kirkbride), when her marriage breaks down - she left the street after marrying robert preston (julian kay) at weatherfield register office. the character was last played by dawn acton. a "coronation street" spokesman said: "we are looking at other actresses because the character has changed so much - she's going to be explosive." explaining the decision to bring tracy back as an antagonist, writer daran little commented: "you only have to look at a character whose parents got divorced when she was very young and then pulled either way to find out this woman is very flawed and has a chip on her shoulder. so you take that and bring her back a few years later as a very selfish person." on 13 november 2002, it was announced that kate ford had been cast as tracy. it was reported that acton was said to be "devastated" when she failed to win the part which instead went to ford. but whereas tracy barlow was a glum-faced teenager, tracy preston - as she is now called - is a sexy, sassy and opinionated man-eater. at the same time it was also reported that tracy would sleep with her mother's former flame dev alahan (jimmi harkishin). a "coronation street" spokeswoman said ford, fresh from london's webber douglas academy but originally from north lancashire, was "thrilled" to have landed the role. "she is very excited to have got the part. the character has changed substantially in the past four years and really hits the ground running. kate is thrilled." tracy returned on screen on 25 december 2002, and she spent no time moping over her failed marriage. "she's been bored in london and she's ready to let her hair down and have some fun. tracy's a strong, feisty woman and i think at last dev may have met his match."
