Coronation Street star Claire Sweeney promises new side to Cassie Plummer

Coronation Street spoilers follow.

Coronation Street's Claire Sweeney has teased that we'll see a different side to her character Cassie Plummer in the future.

Tyrone Dobbs' long-lost mother has been involved in some pretty serious stories since she was introduced to the soap, but it looks like she'll be involved in some softer and lighter scenes for a bit of a change.

This week will see her try and act as matchmaker between Roy Cropper and her mother Evelyn, and although it might not end well, her heart is in the right place.

"I think Cassie just wants a quiet life and she has desires for Evelyn and Roy to get together," Sweeney told Inside Soap magazine. "She thinks it would be lovely to see her mum happy. This is a softer side to Cassie – but from what I'm seeing the writers doing, Cassie starts off with good intentions and every time it goes horrendously wrong! She comes out of it terribly..."

There's also the confirmed storyline with a puppy farm involving Evelyn and Cassie, and it looks like it's going to be a real bonding moment for mother and daughter, even if it was a bit rough to film.

"Filming with these little puppies was gorgeous, although I had to take antihistamines because I'm allergic to dogs," Sweeney explained.

"Dog lovers will know Evelyn and Cassie are doing the right thing, and I think they're united here, doing something good together. It's lovely to see that. They do argue, but there's a look in their eyes where they love each other...!

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
