Things didn't go as expected for Ken Barlow on Coronation Street when he discovered that Cassie Plummer had no respect for his late wife Deirdre's memory. Ken, a soap legend who has been a part of the show for 64 years, has been struggling since his recent fall. Despite his initial reluctance, he eventually agreed with his family and the medical professionals that he needed a caregiver to assist him with his daily tasks.
His family, including his concerned son Steve, daughter-in-law Amy, and grandson Daniel, were worried about how they would be able to afford a care plan for Ken. Amy even considered using her inheritance from grandma Deirdre, but Ken was not receptive to the idea. However, luck seemed to be on their side when Steve hired Cassie to be Ken's caregiver.
Unfortunately, Cassie didn't last long in the job. While working at Ken's house, she stumbled upon Deirdre's iconic glasses in the sideboard. These glasses were a significant part of Deirdre's character for the five decades she was on the show. Cassie's sarcastic comment about them being out of style didn't sit well with Ken, who believed she was being disrespectful towards his late wife.
Enraged that Cassie wasn't a professional caregiver and was instead relying on her past experience of looking after an ex-boyfriend, Ken promptly fired her. Later, Steve tried to smooth things over with Ken, but he was still upset and insisted that he could manage on his own. However, once he was alone, it became clear that he was struggling to stand up without assistance.
Meanwhile, Cassie realized her mistake and came back to apologize to Ken. The two ended up having a heart-to-heart, and Ken was impressed by her past responsibilities. He decided to give her a second chance, and it seemed like things were starting to look up for him again.
