Coronation Street viewers have expressed their revulsion at Cassie Plummer's scheme involving Ken Barlow. Cassie (played by Claire Sweeney) made her debut on the cobbles in 2023 as Tyrone Dobbs' (Alan Halsall) estranged mother. She quickly became a popular character and was soon embroiled in some drama.

Recently in the soap, Ken Barlow (William Roache) had a nasty fall which necessitated him needing a carer for his injuries. The expense of a professional carer was too much for the Barlow family, so they enlisted Cassie Plummer despite her lack of formal qualifications. Since then, Ken and Cassie have become close friends.

Ken has taken a liking to her, and it's clear that Cassie is enjoying her time working for him, reports the Express. However, last month, Cassie overheard that Ken had won £50k from premium bonds. Ken then shared the news with her himself - leaving Cassie thrilled.

She then convinced him to spend some of his winnings on a luxury holiday abroad, and suggested someone could accompany him. And she quickly volunteered herself for the role. Now, with Cassie aware that Ken has tens of thousands of pounds, viewers believe they've 'figured out' what scheme she has in mind for Ken - and it doesn't bode well.

On X, one person remarked: "Ken, use your brain, Cassie has money on her mind...and wants it in her bank." Another weighed in saying: "Ffs Ken wake up! the only person Cassie wants Ken to give his money to is HER!" Yet another added their voice and declared: "Cassie definitely going to rip both Amy and Ken out of his money."

Additionally, some spectators of the show believe there might be a spark of romance between Cassie and Ken as seen in a comment from one fan predicting: "Ken is going to propose to Cassie."

A different viewer suggested: "Ken fancies Heroin Cassie." While another was in accord stating: "Ken and Cassie to get together? How gross!" A final comment from a fan anticipated: "Evelyn as Ken's latest mother-in-law? At last, a worthy successor to Blanche."

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX
