Claire Sweeney is set to make her eagerly awaited debut on Coronation Street tonight.
The former Brookside star will arrive on the Cobbles as Tyrone Dobbs' mum, Cassie. Claire branded her character as a loose cannon and said Cassie will cause havoc on the show as Evelyn Plummer has lied to Tyrone that his mum is dead.
Cassie is a recovering drug addict and images from tonight's episode have showed off Claire's incredible transformation to play the role. The Walton actor told the ECHO and other press why she has relished the opportunity to play a character world's apart from her usual glamorous self.
