While her actual exit storyline remains a secret for now, here’s everything we know so far. Claire Sweeney plays Tyrone Dobbs’ mum Cassie Plummer on Coronation Street, having joined the cobbles in 2023 and quickly made her mark in Weatherfield. Now, after two years in the role, she’s preparing to step into a very different pair of shoes. Cassie’s final scenes are expected to air in the summer, with a show spokesperson confirming to The Sun that Claire Sweeney remains on screen until then and will continue to make her presence very much felt. Details of Cassie’s exit stay tightly under wraps, but viewers are teased that the storyline builds toward a dramatic, ‘explosive’ farewell. Off screen, Claire takes on a long-held ambition as she heads to the stage to play Miss Hannigan in Annie the Musical. While there are early hopes she might balance both Corrie and the theatre, the scale of the UK tour makes that impossible, prompting her decision to leave the soap. The tour kicks off in May 2026 and runs until March 2027, giving fans plenty of chances to see Claire shine once she waves goodbye to Weatherfield. What else happened in Coronation Street tonight?
