Coronation Street viewers couldn’t believe their eyes when Cassie Plummer made fun of the iconic Deirdre Barlow during the episode on Wednesday 19 June. Cassie had started working as Ken Barlow’s carer after being fired from her job at the garage.

I was only messing.” Despite her apology, fans weren’t happy with Cassie and took to social media to say what they really thought about her poking fun at a cobbles legend.
One said: “No Cassie. Do not disrespect Deirdre #Corrie .” Another added: “Cassie - now very dare you - you've touched the sacred glasses of our blessed Deidre." A third responded: “Cassie has done some awful things, but none as unforgivable as making fun of Deirdre's specs. #corrie.” Another wrote: “Deirdre’s glasses get them off Cassie!” A fifth joked: “It is abuse that they have Cassie looking after Ken.” Ken then asked Cassie: “Didn’t they train you to respect
