Claire Sweeney has shared how she felt like an ‘imposter’ on her first day on the cobbles as she prepares to make her on-screen debut in Coronation Street. The former soap star and West End actress has joined the cast as Cassie Plummer - Tyrone Dobbs’ mum.
It was revealed back in April that Claire would be taking up the role as the much-loved mechanic’s real mum after he previously believed that his mum was Jackie Dobbs, played by Margi Clarke, before investigations into his own family history discovered his maternal grandmother, Evelyn.
But she told him that her daughter, his biological mother, was dead and has since formed her own bond with her grandson and his family - made up of wife Fiz and children Hope and Ruby.
