CORONATION Street star Claire Sweeney has revealed that Cassie Plummer’s manipulation of Ken Barlow has only just begun.
The TV icon, who plays evil Cassie on the ITV soap, has been slowly poisoning resident favourite Ken in a dark new storyline.
Claire, 53, said her character has filmed some explosive scenes with arch nemesis and Ken’s daughter Tracy Barlow.
She also teased that Cassie’s evil plan has only just started and said it will play out for the next few months.
Speaking exclusively to the Sun, Claire revealed: “Cassie manages to talk herself out of so many situations. She doesn’t want to hurt Ken, she’s just keeping him sleepy so he needs her.
“She just wants him to need her, Ken is the first person who sees her and gives her time and teaches her things – it’s like in Pygmalion, My Fair Lady type of relationship, where within the house she’s got the romance with Steve McDonald, she’s got the banter with Tracy and she suddenly feels part of something.”
Claire said she has filmed her scenes for the next six weeks and so far Cassie has not been exposed.
Clare said: “With all these characters there’s got to be some sort of redemption arch but I wouldn’t want her to be a goody two shoes.
“I enjoy that naughtiness, poisoning a national treasure is going a bit too far but I love the way they’re writing it.
“They’re writing it from a place of vulnerability that she needs him, it’s not just being evil – there is a reason behind it.
““I’ve got some great scenes with Tracy Barlow, absolutely brilliant.”
But Cassie is skating on thin ice, with Claire saying that Ken could be the one to catch her out.
“Ken Barlow is a clever man, don’t underestimate him, I think he’ll understand her if she does,” she went on to say.
“I don’t know yet myself because we’re still on that journey.
“We’re six weeks in advance filming, almost two months and they’ve still not found out about Cassie.”
Speaking in a Q&A after the scenes of her poisoning poor Ken have aired on Coronation Street, Claire explained that it might not be as malicious as it seems.
She said: “She feels terrible. There’s absolute remorse – she never wanted to hurt him and she thinks she’s gone too far.
“She’s not trying to harm him; she just wants him to need her. I think she regrets giving him blood thinners. There is an element of guilt – she does question herself.”
The filming and storyline also impacted co-star Bill Roache, who has played Ken Barlow since its first episode in 1960.
She explained: “We were both a bit shocked and it sounds awful that I’m poisoning him, but she just wants him to need her.
“She wants to keep her job and she loves being with him.
“Bill is like myself, he’s very keen to play the affection between the two characters so it’s not just black and white – there is a grey area.”
TONIGHT the Love Island villa will be torn apart as a HUGE row breaks out between the All Stars.
For the first time ever, the couples had the chance to ask the public two questions each.
The answers were revealed during an All Stars dinner – but not everyone is able to handle the truth.
Casey O’Gorman decides to make it “juicy” and Gabby Allen agrees but insists: “You can deal with the drama.”
They’re question is ‘do you think we’ll work on the outside?’, they’re told 57% said yes and 43% said no.
Casey responds: “In here it’s 100%, so it’s interesting it’s kind of split…a slight win.”
Better news for Catherine and Omar and Harriett and Ronnie as their questions ‘are we compatible’ and ‘are we right to have given it a second go?’ both came back with 70% yes and 30% no.
Catherine adds: “It feels so so good that the public think we’re compatible, I’m so happy.”
Harriett tells them: “Yay I feel really good.”
Ekin-Su isn’t happy when the answer to her question with Curtis, “Do you think we are a good match?” is read out to the group.
And things get worse when it’s time for round two – the questions they asked about other couples.
Catherine and Omar’s question surprises Gabby and Casey and things get tricky between the two couples, whilst Luca is surprised to be the topic of questions from both Gabby and Casey and Harriet and Ronnie.
Elma and Sammy’s question about Curtis and Ekin-Su reignites another clash between Elma and Curtis when it’s revealed their question was ‘do you think Curtis and Ekin-Su are the weakest couple?’.
Curtis says: “I feel there’s a slight spite behind the whole thing.” as Elma tells Curtis: “Oh please Curtis, have a day off, babe.”
And Casey comes to blows with Catherine when he tells her: “I’m not letting you talk.”
Watch all the drama unfold tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
Elma: “Oh please Curtis, have a day off babe.”
