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.

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.
