Actress Amy Walsh hasn’t revealed what the lump turns out to be, however Tracy’s mind jumps to the worst case scenario.

Speaking to Inside Soap, she said: “Anyone would jump to the worst-case scenario, and that’s how I played it. Tracy feels the lump and thinks, ‘My baby has cancer’, so it spirals quite quickly.

“She also thinks that she’s being fobbed off by the doctor.

“It’s an important story to tell, because we want viewers to know that over-worrying as a new mum is not a bad thing, and getting a second opinion from a doctor is not a bad thing.

“Tracy just wants to do the best for her baby, so that’s what she does.”

Tracy and Nate

Earlier this year, Tracy and Nate welcomed their first child together, who they named Frankie.

Later Nate’s grandmother Faith offered to move in with them in order to help Tracy with their daughter whilst Nate worked.

But when Tracy and Faith began clashing, Tracy and Nate asked her to move out.
