Could the sparks reignite between former flames Steve McDonald and Tracy Barlow on Coronation Street?

We know what you're thinking - isn't this just the WORST idea that any two people on Coronation Street have ever had?

We've got to admit, we do agree.

But it's looking increasingly likely that these two, whose relationship was a blimmin' car crash from start to finish, COULD be hooking up again.

WATCH: Steve and Tracy's disastrous wedding in Coronation Street

The two have been growing closer again after both having a pretty miserable past 12 months, and even Tracy couldn't deny that feelings were redeveloping when busybody Mary cornered her.

Mary made a comment about Tracy still having feelings for the father of her daughter Amy, and the former villain didn't have it in her to protest.

And in last night's episode, the show ramped up the possibility of this happening after Steve went on a HORRENDOUS date with Moira and ended up talking to Tracy.

No Corrie fan could miss the undeniable attraction between the two, and they even shared some lingering looks.

Could the two come full circle and end up back together after all?

It was a pretty terrible idea when they tried it the first 6,794 times, but perhaps now that they're older, now that Tracy is less off a crazy killer and Steve is SLIGHTLY less of a dingbat, MAYBE it could work?!

Or maybe not... Let's take a look back through their past to see where they went wrong the first few times.

Tracy gets pregnant

Tracy then became pregnant, and for some strange reason we can't quite remember pretended it was ROY'S baby (why oh why). She gave birth to her baby, whom Roy named Patience (bleh) but was renamed Amy when Tracy decided she wanted to give motherhood a go.
