Claire Sweeney is set to reclaim her crown as a soap queen tonight (Wednesday) with her first scenes in Coronation Street - and her character is already ruffling feathers on the cobbles. Actress Claire found fame as Brookside's Lindsey Corkhill, but is about to resume life in soap land more than 20 years on as an explosive new character in the ITV soap.
She will make her debut on Wednesday as Cassie Plummer, who has some pretty major ties to Weatherfield residents. Cassie is Evelyn's (Maureen Lipman) estranged daughter and is also the biological mother of Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall), although he has no idea and believes his mum is Jackie.
This week, Evelyn has been struggling with jealousy over Roy and Yasmeen's friendship, but decides to clear the air by inviting them both to the Bistro to talk through her feelings. However, Evelyn doesn't realise that Cassie has arrived in town and has been secretly watching her all day - and she never makes it to the Bistro as she is waylaid by a worrying call.
Evelyn is contacted by the hospital to let them know that Cassie has been admitted as an emergency patient, with things getting even more concerning for her when she receives another call to tell her that Cassie has discharged herself. When Evelyn decides to go home, she gets a huge shock to find Tyrone is greeting her with the news that someone called Cath has come to see her, and she finds that "Cath" is actually Cassie.
