A big change on Coronation Street has fans talking, and many think it could bring back one of Weatherfield’s most famous couples. With one key character preparing to leave, viewers of Coronation Street believe the timing might finally push Steve and Tracy back toward each other.
Cassie’s Exit Has Fans Guessing
Claire Sweeney recently revealed she has quit the ITV soap to take on a theatre role. The 54-year-old has played Cassie Plummer since 2023, and she will stay on screen until her character leaves this summer. As soon as the news broke, fans started wondering how the show would write Cassie out. Many viewers now feel her exit could open the door for Steve McDonald and Tracy Barlow to reunite. The pair have a long and messy history, but they have also found their way back to each other before. Fans think this could happen again.
One fan said, “I think Cassie will dump Steve and she and Tracy will stop their bickering and become friends after their reconciliation and she may repair Steve and Tracy’s relationship.” Another viewer shared that Cassie had not been shown in the best way and said they believed Tracy and Steve would reunite, though they were curious about Cassie’s exit story.
Steve and Tracy Still Have History
Producers have already hinted that Cassie’s goodbye will be dramatic. A Coronation Street spokeswoman confirmed that Cassie will remain on the cobbles until summer and will keep making her presence felt in Weatherfield as her exit builds. She promised viewers a “great exit storyline.” A source also shared that Sweeney gave the team plenty of notice. Because of that, writers had time to plan an exciting and explosive storyline for her departure.
This makes fans even more sure that her exit will shake things up. Some fans enjoy Cassie’s fiery personality and her feud with Tracy. Others think the show cannot ignore her past. One viewer said Cassie was interesting and they liked her feud with Tracy, but realistically she should have faced punishment for nearly killing Ken and robbing him. The same fan added they definitely felt the show was leading Steve and Tracy back together.
Steve and Tracy Still Have History
Tracy told Steve that their marriage was over in February 2024. That moment came after Tim Metcalfe and Sally Metcalfe discovered Tracy had started a fling with Tommy Orpington. The situation hurt Steve deeply because Tommy had been his football hero for years. The betrayal made their breakup even more painful and final at the time.
Steve later started dating Cassie last year. Tracy did not take that well at all, especially because she found out during a birthday party she had thrown for Steve herself. Since then, Cassie and Tracy have continued their bitter feud. But if Cassie leaves in a big way, fans think old feelings between Steve and Tracy could return and change everything again.
