Following Tracy’s departure from Coronation Street to Spain with her lover Tommy Orpington, Steve McDonald is already contemplating his next move in the love department.

In an upcoming episode airing on Friday, April 26, Steve’s friend Tim Metcalfe suggests he set up a date with a potential online match named Demi. Tim urges Steve to ensure Demi is who she claims to be before agreeing to meet her.

Growing tired of Steve’s indecision, Tim takes matters into his own hands and sends a text to Demi, asking her out on Steve’s behalf. Whether Demi accepts the invitation remains to be seen.

Actor Simon Gregson, who portrays Steve, commented on the aftermath of Tracy’s betrayal, acknowledging Steve’s coping mechanisms and devastation. He noted Steve’s acceptance of Tracy’s affair on the surface but emphasized his deep hurt, particularly regarding Tommy’s involvement.

As Steve contemplates the possibility of a new romance, viewers await to see if he’ll take the plunge back into the dating world following Tracy’s exit from his life
