The Outcry
Coronation Street fans were left scratching their heads over drug addict Cassie Plummer's pristine teeth, which seemed out of place with her character. Viewers took to social media to express their confusion over the apparent discrepancy between the character's drug addiction and her picture-perfect smile. But it seems the soap's writers have addressed the issue in Wednesday night's episode.
Introducing Cassie Plummer
The role of Cassie Plummer is played by former Brookside actress Claire Sweeney, who joined the long-running soap in June of this year. Cassie is the estranged mother of Tyrone Dobbs (played by Alan Halsall) and the daughter of Evelyn Plummer (played by Maureen Lipman).
Teeth Troubles
In a recent scene, Tyrone Dobbs attempts to remind his daughter Hope (whom he shares with Fiz Brown, played by Jennie McAlpine) about the importance of brushing her teeth. Cassie chimes in, emphasizing the point by revealing that she has had to spend a significant amount of money on her teeth. "Look after them, I don't want you forking out like I've had to over the years," Cassie exclaimed. She added, "These have cost me a fortune."
Fans React
Before the explanation aired, fans had taken to social media to discuss Cassie's pearly whites. Many were impressed by Claire Sweeney's acting skills but felt that her teeth were a distraction. One viewer wrote, "Cassie has got bright white teeth for someone that's been a drug abuser for so many years." Another added, "Did the makeup team's talent not extend to Claire Sweeney's teeth?" Despite the criticism, the consensus among viewers was that Sweeney's portrayal was excellent.
Mystery Solved
In Wednesday night's episode, Corrie finally addressed the issue of Cassie's teeth, satisfying curious fans. The soap's effort to explain the apparent discrepancy shows the attention to detail that keeps viewers engaged in the long-running drama.
