CORONATION Street has taken a dark twist with Cassie Plummer’s sick scheme against Ken Barlow.
The troubled recovering drug addict – who is played by actress Claire Sweeney in the ITV soap – has been determined to relieve Ken of his recent premium bonds winnings.

He won a huge £50,000 on them earlier this year, and has already lavishly splashed out on carer Cassie on a holiday to Portugal.
The development had left his family concerned that Cassie was taking advantage of Ken – which she has been.
As Adam, Steve and Amy welcomed Ken back home – he knew what they had been planning.
And to cut them off, he informed them that after reviewing his finances – as well as his health improving – he would be letting Cassie go.
He then booked them into the Bistro for a champagne lunch to let her down gently.
Appearing to take the news graciously, Cassie told Ken she understood and immediately began looking for new work.
Her act was so convincing that Ken offered to help her and invited her back to his – and paying her for the privilege.
But after Ken let her go, Cassie decided to take revenge.
As they worked on her CV, she went to make Ken a drink and fetch his medication.
Heading off into the kitchen to make him a brew, Cassie secretly took out another pill and crushed it up into his tea.
Setting it down in front of him, she handed him his actual pills and then laughed as Ken began drinking.
The dark twist could be the reason Ken is rushed to hospital later this week.
Darkest soap storylines
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…
EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) – Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.
Emmerdale: Holly’s drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) – In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale’s first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.
Hollyoaks: Luke’s rape (2000) – Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs – who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.
Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) – Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.
He ends up begging Cassie to return, with a pay rise, convinced his health is declining again.
But how far will Cassie go to ensure she keeps her job? And how much danger is Ken really in?
