Coronation Street fans think they know who will expose Ross Wilkes' true colours after he was involved in Cassie Plummer's exit from Weatherfield.
As those who follow the ITV soap, which is filmed in Salford, know, Ross has been making himself comfortable on the cobbles after he was revealed to be Tyrone Dobbs' long-lost father.
The big reveal came after Tyrone's children surprised him for his birthday by finding his father through a DNA database. But it came as an uncomfortable shock to Cassie, as she had earlier made a pass at Ross as she drowned her sorrows at the Chariot Square Hotel bar, not knowing who he was.
Cassie's painful past
That's because Cassie previously told her mother, Evelyn Plummer, about her ex-boyfriend, who had forced her into sex work when she was underage. Evelyn was shocked to learn that Cassie's father had discovered what was going on, and she never got over it. She then reeled when she realised that Tyrone's father must have been one of Cassie's clients.
Following his appearance in Weatherfield, Tyrone has been keen to get to know his dad, and even Tracy Barlow has since been seen growing close to Ross, while Cassie has been trying to get rid of him.
She first got in touch with a former partner, hoping she would help. However, Ross overheard Cassie on the phone and when the woman arrived, she claimed she had lied to Cassie about what she had been through with Ross.
Ross's threats and Cassie's exit
She again tried to expose Ross for who he really is when the Dobbs' organised a little party for the newcomer. Cassie watched on in horror until she eventually snapped and revealed that Ross paid her for sex when she was just 15, resulting in her falling pregnant with Tyrone.
While horrified, it didn't deter Tyrone and Tracy from wanting Ross in their lives as he agreed to apologise to Cassie, before agreeing to a new slate. However, he later threatened her life if she were to get in between him and developing a relationship with his son.
Determined to see the back of Ross, last week, Cassie was seen spiking his drink with some of Tyrone’s painkillers, only for him to spot her, swap the drinks with Tracy, who collapsed and ended up in hospital following a drug overdose.
With the truth about her involvement out, Cassie announced she had landed a job on a cruise ship and would be leaving Weatherfield. Later, after an emotional farewell to her family, Cassie headed to the precinct where she planned to meet Steve McDonald, but Ross got there first.
Fans' predictions
He told Cassie that he’d give her a lift to the train station before confessing that he framed her over Tracy's collapse. Cassie threatened to go to the police, but Ross wouldn't let her out of the car, and as he took off, it was the last time viewers saw her.
But ahead of her exit, Cassie warned Tyrone's wife, Fiz Dobbs, that Ross and Corrie fans are sure she'll be the one to figure out what he's really like.
