Fans of ITV's Coronation Street are worried that Ken Barlow, played by the iconic William Roache, could be swindled out of his money in a devastating twist. The beloved character - who has been on the Street since the series began - recently suffered a fall, and has since been under the care of Cassie Plummer, played by Brookside legend Claire Sweeney, who was brought into the Barlow household to look after the Weatherfield legend. Initially, Cassie's attentions seemed nothing but genuine, but viewers have grown suspicious, particularly after Ken disclosed his £50K premium bond win to her.
On Monday, Steve McDonald, Ken's son-in-law, voiced his concerns about Cassie's intentions when he discovered she planned to take Ken on a luxury spa trip, questioning if she was exploiting him for a 'free holiday' and might abandon him at the hotel. However, Cassie defended herself, insisting that carers are often overlooked and that she values Ken's company. Fans took to Twitter, now X, to express their worry.
One viewer said: "Cassie's gonna rob Ken blind. Fact", a different account put: "Cassie is loving spending Ken's money, she's not even ashamed..
