Coronation Street fans may spot a familiar face in the upcoming episodes, with hints of Tracy Barlow making a return. Although it's not clear what prompts her comeback this time, there's a possibility that it might be an offscreen return or she might appear onscreen but not in Weatherfield.

The latest spoilers for next Wednesday's episode suggest she is back on the ITV Cobbles, but no spoiler images have been released. Her 'return' seems rather sudden with no prior mention, only that she is involved in a storyline with her father Ken Barlow.

Earlier this year, Tracy left for a new life abroad with Tommy Orpington. She briefly returned to the show following a fallout with Tommy, before leaving again to join him.If Tracy is back already, what has transpired now and could Tommy be with her?

Is her return permanent, and has something occurred that has led to her coming back so soon?, reports the Mirror. It was known that Tracy would return at some point, with actress Kate Ford reportedly reprising the role full-time after her two stints offscreen this year. However, it has not been disclosed when she will be back.

These spoilers are the first hint that the comeback is imminent. That said, they don't provide enough information to confirm a full return, and that she will be back onscreen.

It appears that the upcoming episodes will reveal more about Ken's situation, although nothing is confirmed yet. Spoilers suggest that Cassie Plummer is let go as Ken's carer due to financial difficulties, with his family suspecting she's exploiting him for money.

However, when Ken falls ill, he offers Cassie an extra pound per hour to resume her duties as his carer. It seems Cassie contemplates the offer, but Adam Barlow and Steve McDonald expose everything to Tracy.

Tracy then demands Cassie to leave permanently, accusing her of leeching off Ken. With Cassie out of the picture, Tracy insists on caring for her father.

But when Ken experiences a nosebleed and confesses he feels terrible, they are compelled to rush to the hospital. The spoiler strongly suggests Tracy accompanies him, indicating she might be returning to the screen.

The forthcoming episodes should clarify why she's present and the duration of her stay, hinting at a possible permanent return.
