Coronation Street star Claire Sweeney has confirmed when the story between Evelyn and Cassie Plummer will be revisited.
The pair exited Weatherfield last month as Evelyn sought to help her daughter achieve sobriety, but the departures were only temporary whilst Dame Maureen Lipman appeared on the stage as part of a month-long hiatus.

Appearing on Lorraine, Sweeney assured fans that both her and Lipman will be back on the ITV soap sooner rather than later, revealing the exact date of their return.
“I'm back on August 16th on screen and I'm back in the thick of filming,” she said, before praising her co-stars. “Working with the wonderful Alan Halsall [Tyrone Dobbs]. He’s so good, and Maureen, and Sally Carman [Abi Franklin] as well, I love it.”
Sweeney, who found fame as Lindsey Corkhill in Brookside, joined Coronation Street at the end of last month, with the character attempting to form a relationship with her estranged son, Tyrone.
Elsewhere on the soap, Stephen Reid’s deadly games could soon be ending after his plan to murder Elaine Jones was left in tatters. Actress Paula Wilcox, who plays Elaine, recently teased the upcoming developments and what they will entail for her character.
Sounds like @clairesweeney genuinely can't believe her luck to be working on the iconic @itvcorrie cobbles 🤩😍

“Elaine is starting to see a little bit of the unpleasant side of Stephen – and I think she's starting to stand up for herself a bit,” she said. “Elaine is very sceptical. Actually at this point she really is starting to think: 'Is this really going anywhere or is he a complete time waster?'
“Elaine thinks that Stephen is a liar, he's a cheat, and he does it so well. Her reaction is horror, shock and deep, deep sadness. She goes into a tailspin at that point and from then on, she really is seeing the light. It's really a moment like that,” she added.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
