Soap Star Locks In New Chapter on the Cobbles
Claire Sweeney, who plays the ever-chaotic Cassie, has officially signed on to stay with Coronation Street through 2025. According to a source, Claire was “delighted” to ink a new deal and is loving every minute on the iconic soap.

Coronation Street: Cassie’s Wild Ride Since 2023
Claire made her Corrie debut in 2023 as Cassie Plummer, the presumed-dead daughter of Evelyn Plummer and biological mum to Tyrone Dobbs. From the moment she showed up, chaos has followed. In just two years, she’s battled addiction and sabotaged Kevin’s relationship.
Cassie’s explosive nature and unpredictable choices have kept fans glued to their screens. She may be flawed, but she’s fascinating, and that’s exactly why viewers can’t get enough of her. Claire is no stranger to soapland, having played Lindsey Corkhill on Brookside for 12 years. When asked if she’d be open to returning to Brookside if it ever made a comeback, she gently shut it down. “I’m in Corrie and I’m very happy at Corrie,” she said with a smile.
With her new contract in place, Cassie’s reign of mischief is far from over. And with whispers of her popping up in Emmerdale down the line, viewers might want to brace for impact, especially if she brings her signature drama across village lines.
