The character seemed to reveal her true intentions towards the ITV soap legend on Monday night, reacting poorly to being fired as his carer. Cassie has been caring for Ken for several months now, causing tension among his family members. She's been freely spending his money and enjoying lavish holidays, leading his loved ones to worry that she's exploiting him for financial gain.
However, in the latest episode, Ken decided it was time to let Cassie go for the sake of his finances. After a luxurious trip together, Ken - played by William Roache - informed Cassie that her services were no longer required. Cassie appeared to take the news well, but it was evident she was seething, and she quickly took action.
Pretending there were no hard feelings, she visited Ken's house for tea and biscuits. As she discussed her job hunt now that Ken didn't need her, she was seen crushing some pills and adding them to Ken's tea. She then handed him the cup and watched as he drank from it, before also giving him his medication, reports the Mirror .
Ken took the tablet, oblivious to what Cassie had seemingly done. For months, fans have suspected that Cassie is up to something and is trying to get her hands on Ken's savings. So, with him firing her as his car.
