Simon Gregson, Kate Ford, Elle [Mulvaney], the crew, they’ve all become like family, and it was hard saying goodbye. It was very, very emotional.” Cassie’s final scenes are set to involve the appearance of Tyrone Dobbs’ dad. Coronation Street producer Kate Brooks told Digital Spy: “Tyrone’s dad makes an appearance in the show. Needless to say, he comes with quite a bit of drama. It’s going to cause quite a lot of friction within that family, obviously, with Cassie’s history. “As you know, Cassie’s leaving us, and so it will contribute to her exit, which is going to be massive and quite explosive. It’ll be full of all the twists and turns that you can come to expect from an exit story.” Claire’s final scenes as Cassie are set to play out this summer, within the next 8 weeks.
