Tracy Barlow ARRESTED as armed police storm farmhouse looking for Tina McIntyre’s murderer Rob Donovan in explosive new Coronation Street storyline

TRACY Barlow gets dragged screaming and kicking in to a waiting police car after armed cops bust her hiding out in a remote farmhouse with killer love interest Rob Donovan.

The scenes are set to air as part of an explosive new storyline that is being kept under lock and key by Coronation Street bosses.

However, photographers were close by to capture the moment Tracy - played by 40-year-old Kate Ford - is manhandled and shoved in to a panda after being discovered in a secret location with Rob.

As well as the drama there appears to be tenderness on the cards as Tracy and Rob - played by Marc Bayliss, 39 - steal a kiss in the fresh air.

Another picture shows Marc running from the farmhouse, as if to escape authorities and extend his time out of jail.

It is not known if he escapes from prison or gets an early release, or if Tracy helped him escape.

Last week Marc was pictured back at the ITV studios sparking rumours his killer character Rob Donovan could make a dramatic return after murdering Tina McIntyre.

Scheming Rob was jailed after killing Michelle Keegan's character in 2014 following her affair with Peter Barlow.

He was pictured arriving at the Manchester studios, pulling a suitcase behind him and wearing a baseball cap, in an attempt to keep a low profile.

Marc was later snapped leaving under a huge blue coat with a black umbrella covering him, as the team attempted to keep him under cover.

Actor Marc previously said: "I can’t wait to play Rob again and see what he has up his sleeve, one thing is certain - prison won’t stop Rob from affecting lives on the street."

Coronation Street reps declined to elaborate on the new storyline when contacted by The Sun Online.

Rob became on of the most despise characters in the soap's history after he pushed Tina from a building before killing her in front of shocked viewers.

He was engaged to Tracy Barlow at the time, but was left furious when Tina threatened to go to the police over his dodgy dealings.

Another criminal getting a lungful of fresh air is Maria Connor, who will be released from prison next week arriving back in Weatherfield wearing an electronic tag… and in sleazy Aidan’s car.

The hairdresser was jailed for 12 months on Christmas Eve for taking part in a sham marriage with Argentinan Pablo Duarte.

She agreed to be his wife so that he could start a new life with his secret British boyfriend - but the authorities found out.

Maria - played by Samia Longchambon - briefly appeared on screen last week when she was visited in prison by pal Eva Price.
