Tracy Barlow is about to find herself on the receiving end of a shocking attack, and all signs seem to point in one direction. After weeks of tormenting Abi Webster with threats and blackmail, could Abi finally have lashed out in the most extreme way possible?
Tracy Turns the Screws on Abi
Tracy has never been one to back down, and her latest antics prove it. After her failed attempt to seduce Carl Webster, she uncovered his affair with Abi and wasted no time cashing in on the secret. She demanded money to keep quiet, piling pressure on both Carl and Abi. Abi, already terrified of the affair being exposed, even begged Carl to run away with her to Germany.
He refused, choosing instead to feed Tracy’s greed by throwing himself deeper into his shady car theft operation. But Tracy wasn’t satisfied. She pushed Abi again, saying she wanted the full amount immediately. Abi, shaking with fear, went straight to Carl, who told her Tracy would get one last £500 and nothing more. Tracy made it clear she held all the power, leaving Abi trapped and desperate.
Preston’s Petals Under Attack
That’s when the tables turned. While Abi urged Carl to confess everything to Kevin, Carl snapped, saying he’d had enough of Tracy’s games. He was done dancing to her tune. But the real shock came later, when Tracy returned to Preston’s Petals.
Peering through the window, she spotted a masked figure tearing her shop to pieces. Stepping inside, she came face to face with her pride and joy being smashed to bits. Tracy stood horrified as her business, the centre of her world, was destroyed in front of her eyes.
Coronation Street: Is Abi the Thief?
The big question now is, could Abi have been pushed so far that she struck back? Tracy has been tormenting her non-stop, threatening to ruin her life and her marriage. Abi’s fear has been growing with every move Tracy makes and smashing up the shop could have been her way of fighting back.
Of course, there are other possibilities. Carl may have finally decided to silence Tracy once and for all. Or maybe another enemy of Weatherfield’s Queen of Mean decided it was their turn to get revenge. There’s even the chance it was nothing personal at all, just a cruel random attack.
But with Abi’s nerves frayed and her marriage on the line, the suspicion will surely fall on her shoulders first. Did Tracy’s own bullying finally push Abi over the edge? Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street drama!
