Corrie confirms Tracy return as Ken is rushed to hospital
Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street will air another return for Tracy McDonald next week, as she joins forces with her family to help Ken Barlow through a health scare.
Tracy has spent much of this year living in Spain with her new boyfriend, former Weatherfield County star footballer Tommy Orpington. However, when she returned to the cobbles over the summer to visit daughter Amy Barlow, it became clear that she was feeling neglected due to Tommy’s busy new coaching job.
After hearing a message from Tommy in which he pleaded for her to come back, Tracy agreed to give Tommy another chance and returned to Spain.

In episodes that will air next week, the scene is set for Tracy's return when Ken comes back from his holiday in Porto with his carer, Cassie Plummer.
After he gets home, Ken admits to his family that he's looked over his finances and he can't afford to keep employing Cassie, leaving the family relieved. Ken later thanks Cassie for her services but tells her that he won't need her to act as his carer anymore.
However, Ken later begins to feel unwell and he gets back in contact with Cassie, saying that he's willing to pay her an extra pound an hour if she'll come back to work.

But the rest of the family decide they're not having any of it. Tracy soon shows up in Weatherfield and, flanked by Adam Barlow and Steve McDonald, she tells Cassie to get out and stop taking advantage of Ken.
Tracy decides that she'll take care of Ken from now on. But Ken soon experiences a nosebleed and tells his family that he's feeling terrible, leading them to rush Ken to hospital.
When Steve later sees Cassie again, he makes it clear that she's sacked once and for all.
