Coronation Street fans were left perplexed during the latest trip to the cobbles as they found out a previously unknown detail about one of the show's characters. Monday night's edition of the ITV soap (April 3) saw Tracy Barlow demanding action after feeling Amy's report of rape wasn't taken seriously by police.
Last week, Amy was told that her complaint about her former friend Aaron Sanford had been dropped with not enough evidence to charge him after he denied having non-consensual sex with Amy. Waking up on the cobbles, Aaron, played by James Craven, found posters about rapists plastered across the garage and around the street.
Amy and her dad Steve McDonald worried that Tracy had put flyers up about Aaron everywhere, but Tracy assured her that no-one would know it’s her. But when Mary Taylor found a flyer on the florist printer, Aaron's boss and Tracy's friend Abi Webster realised who the poster was about and confronted him.
Tracy then headed to the police station which she started her own protest, glueing her hand to the reception desk after DS Swain tried to get her to leave. When the officer warned her that she’ll end up in a cell if her behaviour continued, she asserted that she'd be staying put and pulled out the bottle of superglue.
But during the scenes, it appeared that DS Swain, portrayed by Vicky Myers, revealed some information about herself, telling Tracy she had a 15-year-old daughter herself, seemingly trying to put herself in the fellow mum's shoes.
The revelation, however, stunned Corrie fans and they headed to social media to comment and shared their thoughts on a potential spin-off. @AndyGibsonTV tweeted: "How can DS Swain have a 15 year old daughter? She doesn't look old enough. #Corrie #CoronationStreet."
