Tonight’s episode of Coronation Street saw Steve McDonald’s heart break afresh when he learned that wife Tracy would not be returning from Spain for his birthday.
Earlier this year, Steve and Tracy’s marriage collapsed following her affair with footballer Tommy Orpington. Steve tried to make their marriage work in spite of Tracy’s betrayal, but she was determined to find out if the grass was indeed greener on the other side, with Tommy, in Spain.

Why did Tracy leave Steve – and Coronation Street?
Tracy left Weatherfield – and Steve – for Spain in April. Steve remained behind, quietly devastated, and claiming that he had been the one to end the marriage.
Steve had been hoping for a reunion with Tracy during her planned return to Weatherfield. However, he was left bereft after discovering that he had cancelled her return visit and planned to stay in Spain instead.
Will Tracy ever return to Coronation Street?
