"Dawn Acton has failed to win back the role of Tracy Barlow in Coronation Street. As we reported last month, Tracy would be making a comeback on Christmas day as a sassy, opinionated maneater. Show executives said the role would be recast to reflect the new character. Acton auditioned for the part last week but was said to be &amp;quot;devastated&amp;quot; when she failed.
