[Smithy]

Kate Ford returns to Coronation Street as superbitch Tracy Barlow in a fortnight, just in time for her gran Blanche's funeral.

Despite the occasion, though, her comeback is far from a civilised affair...

Having persuaded the prison governor to allow her day release for Blanche's ceremony, Tracy rocks up at the church cuffed to a prison guard. However, when she spots her daughter Amy playing happy families with Steve and Becky, she hits the roof - especially when Amy reveals that she's officially becoming a McDonald.

As Tracy and Becky lock horns, fists fly and insults are exchanged until the prison guard breaks them up and carts Tracy back to the nick.

Realising that she needs to find a way out of prison in order to be with her daughter, Tracy's mind goes into overdrive as she begins to concoct a plan.
