Is Ken Really Falling for His Carer Cassie?

Ken Barlow finds himself drawn to a surprising new companion who is much younger than him. Over the next few weeks, it’s clear that Ken has developed a close bond with Cassie Plummer. Cassie initially started working as a carer for Ken and helped him with his daily needs.

However, with Tracy McDonald’s arrival, her time at Number 1 almost ends. According to Tracy, her dad doesn’t need a carer anymore. Although Ken admits he no longer needs a carer, he has grown to love hanging out with Cassie.

He reveals he wants Cassie to stay on as his carer so that they can keep spending time together. But Tracy clearly doesn’t like his idea. Has Ken really started feeling for Cassie? It’s possible they might be the town’s new couple. But apart from other things, will their age gap be an issue?

Meanwhile, Cassie has her own drama to handle. Tracy believes Cassie is interested in her ex, Steve, and thinks that’s why Cassie’s sticking around Barlow’s house. Well, it is partially true. Viewers must recall that Cassie got all glammed up, hoping for a date night with Steve, but he missed the hint.

However, Steve is evidently interested in Cassie. Who will she eventually choose? Steve or Ken? We’ll have to see. For now, to get the latest spoilers on Coronation Street, keep checking Soap Opera Daily! Which pair are you rooting for? Let us know in the comments section!
