CHRISTMAS is just around the corner – and that means so is the drama for all our favourite soap stars.
Despite the fact it’s supposed to be being the most wonderful time of the year, things never seem to be smooth-sailing on the cobbles during the festive period.
There’s heartbreak in store this New Year’s Day when Tracy Barlow wakes up naked and hungover, realising she’s cheated on Steve.
Their furious daughter Amy quickly pieces it all together and orders Tracy to tell Steve the truth, or shell do it for her.
It leaves the question – who has she cheated with?
As HOAR previously revealed in October, the Street’smost notorious man-eater Tracy is to bed a woman for the first time in a major soap plot twist.
The Cobbles baddie played by Kate Ford, 42 will have a one-night stand with Sophie Websters ex Paula Martin in an upcoming storyline.

The tryst becomes public knowledge after Leanne Battersby, who has a son with Tracys husband Steve McDonald, hears the two women having a row.
In scenes shot over the past few weeks, Tracy the adopted daughter of Street lothario Ken and Paula are confronted by Jane Dansons Leanne.
