Detective (Episode 7766)

The Detective interviewed Becky McDonald who turned up at Weatherfield Police Station in December 2011 to confess to her "alleged assault" on a pregnant Tracy Barlow.

Becky explained how the pair had got into an argument at 15a Victoria Street as Tracy went there to confront her, believing that Becky was having an affair with estranged husband Steve - even though he was seeking a divorce from Becky and in a relationship with Tracy at the time. Having suffered a miscarriage a few days earlier, Tracy turned feint as she made to leave and fell down the stairs at the property.

The detective took more details from Becky and then informed her that she would be paying Tracy a visit to hear her side of the story, with Becky then free to leave the station. The detective and a male colleague duly arrived in the Rovers that evening in order to question Tracy about the incident. Wanting to ascertain why she hadn't reported the matter herself, Becky walked into the pub and told the Barlow family that she was the one who had notified the police.

Tracy was unwilling to make a formal statement, refused to accompany the detective back to the police station and hysterically fled from the pub, leading to speculation from the residents as to whose version of the incident was in fact true, however Tracy's mother Deirdre already knew that her daughter's story was a pack of lies.
