Coronation Street has shared the very first look at Claire Sweeney as Cassie Plummer as she prepares to make her unrecognisable debut. It was revealed back in April that the actress and West End star would be joining the ITV soap as Tyrone Dobbs' real mum.
The much-loved mechanic grew up believing that his mum was Jackie Dobbs, played by Margi Clarke. But in 2018 investigations into his parentage brought him into contact with grandmother Evelyn Plummer, portrayed by Dame Maureen Lipman, for the first time who told him that her daughter, his biological mother is dead.
So when Cassie turns up on the cobbles out of the blue in upcoming scenes, Evelyn is faced with a real dilemma as she has to decide whether to come clean to Tyrone about her lies.
