Coronation Street's Claire Sweeney teases 'fun and games' as fans thrilled by soap pairing

Coronation Street star Claire Sweeney has teased that there are 'fun and games' ahead for Cassie Plummer as she's set to team up with Steve McDonald. Recently, Cassie has found herself in the fold at No.1 Coronation Street having become Ken Barlow's carer.

As viewers of the ITV soap have recently seen, Ken has been of concern to his family after he fell down the stairs and fractured his pelvis. Steve McDonald, Amy Barlow and Daniel Osbourne were left having to discuss care package options for the Barlow patriarch and wondered how on earth they were going to fund it.

Unbeknownst to them, Cassie Plummer was listening with interest and offered to be Ken’s carer for a quarter the price of a professional. Daniel and Amy were quick to snap her up while Steve reluctantly agreed, leaving Cassie thrilled.

But things went wrong when the family agreed to not let Ken know that Cassie isn't qualified, only for her to tell him herself that she wasn't trained to look after him. Later, Ken ended up apologising to Cassie for his reaction to finding out she wasn't a qualified career and the pair were soon sitting enjoying a laugh and a brew.

It's now been revealed that in upcoming scenes, Cassie will be swapping Ken for Steve with the pair going on a bit of a revenge mission. It starts with Steve's birthday party and it is not exactly what he was expecting and he is gutted to discover Tim and Sally Metcalfe are at the unveiling of Tommy Orpington's bust instead.

Cassie offers to drive him to the event to confront them. Once there they discover a way to get revenge on Tommy once and for all. What have they got planned? Later, Steve enlists Tim's help to try and cover his tracks after his and Cassie’s antics at the Tommy O bust unveiling. But Debbie Webster soon rumbles them, will they be able to talk their way out of this one?

Sharing a teaser of the upcoming scenes as they featured in a recent magazine, Claire wrote on Instagram: "Fun and games ahead for Steve and Cassie @coronationstreet." And it appears Corrie fans are delighted at Cassie and Steve teaming up.
