Joni Preston was the wife of Robert Preston. In July 2015 Joni travelled to Coronation Street to find Robert whose passion for Tracy Barlow had been reignited. Joni asked Rita Tanner and Emily Bishop if they knew where Tracy lived. Ascertaining the address, she then stormed over to No.1 and banged on the door but was told by a nosy Norris Cole that everyone was out for the day.
