Coronation Street viewers issued a demand after Claire Sweeney's swift exit in last night's episode.
The former Brookside star made her eagerly-awaited Cobbles debut as Cassandra Plummer in Wednesday's programme. The troubled character is a recovering drug addict and Claire underwent a dramatic transformation to play the role.
The 52-year-old told the ECHO and other press why she relished the chance to portray a character worlds apart from her usual glamorous self. She said: "I want her to be so far removed from me and the minute I get the clothes on, the leggings, the converse, the cap and looking really rough, I then become that character."
