Coronation Street viewers think they have worked out what happened to Cassie Plummer, with many convinced that Ross Wilkes' exit is now inevitable as his behaviour becomes increasingly toxic.
Months have passed since Cassie was last seen in Weatherfield, after she was forced to leave her family behind following a series of bad decisions after Ross arrived on the cobbles. It had been revealed that Ross is the long-lost father of Tyrone Dobbs.
How Ross arrived in Weatherfield
Tyrone's children, Hope and Ruby, surprised him for his birthday by tracking down his father through a DNA database. The discovery distressed Cassie, who had earlier made a drunken pass at Ross at the Chariot Square Hotel without realising who he was.
Tyrone decided to get to know his dad, who also quickly began a romance with Tracy Barlow. Cassie tried to expose Ross for who he really is, revealing that he paid her for sex when she was just 15, which led to her becoming pregnant with Tyrone. The attempt failed.
Threats and a mysterious exit
Although Tyrone and Tracy were horrified, they did not want Ross out of their lives. He agreed to apologise to Cassie and start with a clean slate, but later threatened her life if she came between him and his developing relationship with his son.
Cassie could not let the matter go, and it ended with her being forced out of Weatherfield. Her exit was shrouded in mystery as she was intercepted by Ross, having already got into his car after he offered her a lift to the train station. Cassie threatened to go to the police, but Ross would not let her out of the car, and as he drove off, it was the last time viewers saw her.
Fans react to new filming
At the time, Corrie fans were left confused about whether Cassie was dead or alive following Ross's earlier threat, while others were sad to see her go and wanted Ross exposed once and for all. Now, viewers fear her fate has been confirmed.
As filming involving DS Lisa Connor-Swain was teased, Corrie fans shared their theories on social media. @eoiscanon said: "Cassie's body will be found." @messasaurusjess posted: "I feel like this filming is just going to be like… Lisa finding Cassie’s body. Ross’s storyline has to end somehow. #corrie."
@TheConnorSwains wrote: "RIP Cassie #Corrie #Swarla." @LuvLara added: "This is exciting! I’m thinking Lisa will be investigating a body found at the bottom of the cliff. With it being Jodi or Cassie, With both of them leaving without a word. #Corrie #DsSwain."
