Coronation Street’s Cassie Plummer is set to face a shocking revenge plot later this month as Tracy McDonald

takes drastic action to bring her down.

Fans of the ITV soap are in for a dramatic showdown as Tracy makes a sinister move against Cassie, targeting her in the most brutal way possible.

Cassie has already found herself in hot water after being exposed for drugging Ken Barlow and stealing from him.

Her actions left the entire Barlow family furious, with Ken’s loved ones struggling to come to terms with her betrayal.

Cassie had been secretly spiking Ken’s drinks with antihistamines to make him drowsy, ensuring he remained reliant on her.

Not only that, but she also took advantage of his confused state by using his credit card to fund expensive online shopping sprees.

However, her deceit finally came to light, and Ken exposed her, leading to a major turning point in Cassie’s life. Now, as she grapples with the consequences of her actions, Tracy McDonald is plotting her own form of justice.

In the upcoming episodes, Tracy lures Cassie back to No.1 Coronation Street under the pretense of wanting to resolve their differences. She sets up a lunch for Cassie, creating the illusion that she is willing to move forward. But in a shocking twist, Tracy’s true intentions become painfully clear.

Instead of making peace, Tracy presents Cassie with a sinister temptation – drugs. Knowing Cassie’s history with substance abuse, Tracy coldly urges her to take them, fully aware that one relapse could send her spiraling back into addiction.

Cassie is left in an agonizing predicament. Staring at the drugs, she wrestles with her demons, deeply tempted to fall back into old habits. Homeless and feeling utterly hopeless, the prospect of an escape is almost too enticing to ignore. However, despite the immense temptation, Cassie fights to resist. She recognizes that giving in would mean letting Tracy win, and in a moment of determination, she refuses to take the bait.

Claire Sweeney, who plays Cassie, has opened up about the powerful scenes, explaining the turmoil her character goes through in that moment. “For Cassie, there’s a moment of: ‘Well, I might as well just do it. I’ve got nothing else.’ It’s just a quick escape route if she takes those drugs,” she explained. “But then there’s a realization that if she does, Tracy has completely won. Cassie doesn’t want that. She wants to keep her dignity and stay in control.”

The emotional battle within Cassie is set to be a compelling watch, as she stands at a crossroads between self-destruction and survival. The dynamic between Cassie and Tracy has added a thrilling new layer to the soap, and according to Sweeney, working alongside Kate Ford, who plays Tracy, has been an exciting experience. “Kate and I have some great scenes in this storyline. Tracy and Cassie have this cat-and-dog relationship, which makes for some really exciting stuff,” she added.

As Cassie’s deception is now fully out in the open, viewers can expect to see a different side to her in the coming weeks. The character has been deeply flawed, but Sweeney believes that there is room for redemption. “I think there was a sense of relief for Cassie when she was found out because she couldn’t have just carried on the way she was. It was always going to come to a head. There has to be a bit of a redemption arc for the character,” she explained.

While Cassie has undoubtedly done wrong, her backstory offers a glimpse into the reasons behind her desperate actions. The upcoming episodes will explore her vulnerabilities as she attempts to explain her motives to Ken. “She’s prepared to take the consequences on the nose, but she wants people to understand why she did what she did,” Sweeney teased.

With Tracy’s revenge plan unfolding and Cassie battling to stay on the right path, Coronation Street fans are in for a gripping ride. Will Cassie be able to rebuild her life, or will Tracy’s plan send her into a downward spiral?

The dramatic showdown between Cassie and Tracy is set to air on Friday, March 14, promising an intense episode filled with emotion, temptation, and revenge. Viewers won’t want to miss this explosive confrontation as Coronation Street continues to deliver must-watch drama.
