Coronation Street fans spot huge ‘clue’ soap will kill a Barlow in a matter of weeks as Ken and Tracy are at risk

A Barlow death would be jaw-dropping

Coronation Street fans reckon we could only have weeks left of Tracy or Ken Barlow before the soap decides to kill one of them off.

Spoilers have revealed that someone is left for dead around Christmas time.

And, with a huge Corriedale stunt airing in January, fans of the soap are worried – and rightly so.

After a scene that aired on Monday night (December 8), they’ve started fearing that a Barlow death might’ve just been foreshadowed. Noooo!

Ken Barlow marks 65 years on soap with cruel trick on Tracy

Ken Barlow has been on the soap since it first began in 1960. This means that he’s been on the soap for 65 years. Wowzers!

With Maggie’s 65th birthday party coinciding with the soap’s 65th anniversary this week, Ken was rightly in attendance at the event.

During a light-hearted conversation with Rita and Roy, Ken joked that he would be up for selling his house to Ben Driscoll. The landlord had plans to knock the wall through and put a pool table up in there.

Tracy heard about the idea and was falsely tricked into believing that Ken had signed a deal with Ben. She wasn’t impressed that all of her inheritance would’ve been taken from her so that Ken could spend the last of his retirement years travelling.

Realising it was all a joke, Tracy then actually warmed to the idea. She told her dad that she just wanted him to be happy. She also wanted to spend more time with him.

Ken wondered what had gotten into her. This wasn’t like Tracy at all. And, we really mean, AT ALL.

But, as we know in soapland, lovey dovey, out of character moments with the family are often followed by tragedy. And, now fans are started to predict a tragic future for the characters.

Coronation Street fans fear Ken or Tracy Barlow death scenes

This Christmas, spoilers reveal that Evelyn finds someone left for dead in the ginnel. While we know that Tracy appears in the Corriedale January episode, the same has not yet been confirmed for our dear Ken.

And, Tracy’s not out of the woods though, as she’s caught up in the huge car pile-up stunt that leaves many lives hanging in the balance. And, after that cute scene with Ken this week, fans are worried that one of them could be about to peg it.

One Coronation Street viewer panicked: “Are they gonna kill off Tracy? Surely not.”

Another person predicted: “Either Tracy or Ken are dead by Christmas…”

A third wrote: “Tracy Barlow death foreshadowing,” while another replied: “I thought it was more Ken’s death. The actor has been working forever. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind the time to enjoy himself without rehearsal.”

Could the Street soon be preparing for a Barlow funeral? Perhaps someone should pre-warn George…
