This is about the episode on ITVX release, so details are spoilers if you are following at ITV1 pace.
Whilst many might have been wondering if Tracy would get her claws into Carl in Abi’s absence, it was actually James Bailey (Jason Calendar) who ended up under the covers with the two timing mechanic.
With Abi away on holiday with Kevin and Jack it seems Carl had no qualms about playing away with former footballer James and the pair agreed to see each other again.
Tracy Barlow is already blackmailing Carl over his relationship with Abi so is he risking losing everything with this latest fling?
Jonathan Howard said: “Carl likes living life on the edge, he is a hedonist and a free spirit, he is attracted to a person regardless of their gender and if he sees something he wants he goes for it with no real thought to the consequences of his actions.
“He is frustrated that Abi has gone away with Kevin and he needs something to distract himself. There is a spark between him and James so he goes for it. Tracy was also offering herself to him but he isn’t stupid and he knows that would be a dangerous move, James on the other hand is less complicated and more fun.”
