Coronation Street bosses praised over 'clever nod' to Cassie's 'perfect teeth'
Coronation Street, viewers were tickled by a 'clever nod' from the show's writers as they addressed the mystery behind Cassie's 'perfect teeth'.
The character, portrayed by Claire Sweeney, is a new addition to the soap, introducing herself to Tyrone Dobbs as his long-lost mother. However, fans couldn't help but notice the stark contrast between the star's dazzling white smile and Cassie's otherwise dishevelled appearance, given her ongoing struggle with drug addiction.
The writers took a stab at resolving this discrepancy in Wednesday night's episode. In a casual conversation about dental hygiene, Cassie revealed that her flawless teeth were the result of numerous pricey trips to the dentist. As Tyrone reminded his daughter Hope Stape about the importance of brushing her teeth, Cassie chimed in: "Look after them, I don't want you forking out like I've had to over the years. These have cost me a fortune."

Trusting Cassie, Tyrone agreed to lend her £80 to buy boots for Ruby's birthday present. Cassie assured him: "I'll go straight into town and I'll be back before you know it. Think of her little face."
In a dramatic twist, she confessed, "I've been clean for two months now. I won't let you down" - only to be later seen meeting her dealer and collapsing in subsequent scenes. Fans were tickled by the casual reference to Cassie's impeccable teeth. Twitter users flocked to the social media site, with one quipping: "No way does a serious addict have teeth that good", while another noted: "Slight breaking of the fourth wall with Cassie's expensive dentistry acknowledgement." A third chimed in with: "Ridiculous reference to Cassie Turkey teeth".

One user tweeted: "Haha they've actually addressed why Cassie has such white teeth." A second added: "A clever nod to Claire Sweeney's perfect teeth there", and another pointed out: "Cassie mentioning her perfect teeth..." A fifth said: "They acknowledged Cassie's white teeth #Corrie", while another X user asked: "An explanation there why Cassie has got such nice gnashers for a drug addict after everyone was asking how come she's got such nice gnashers for a drug addict?"
However, some fans found the storyline "predictable", claiming they foresaw the outcome as soon as Tyrone handed over the cash. One viewer tweeted: "Cassie taking drugs. Shock horror! Not! #Corrie", and @itzzzo_ opined: "I suppose Tyrone likes to see the best in people and he wants to have faith in Cassie but if I was Evelyn I'd be dying to say 'told you so'". A second sarcastically commented: "#Corrie storyline not at all predictable eh Cassie?"
In a shocking twist on the cobbles, Tyrone, brought to life by Alan Halsall, discovered that his world was built on lies. Raised under the belief that Jackie Dobbs, played by the talented Margi Clarke, was his mother, 2018 saw him delve into the mysteries of his lineage.
This investigation led him to cross paths with his grandmother Evelyn, a character portrayed by the esteemed Dame Maureen Lipman. It was during this encounter that he was hit with the devastating news - his biological mother, Evelyn's daughter, was no longer alive. Tyrone was left seething with anger at his grandmother's deception. Evelyn, in her defence, claimed she was merely trying to shield him from the harsh reality of his mother Cassie's drug addiction.
