Coronation Street fans are speculating that Ken Barlow (played by William Roache) is set to walk down the aisle with Cassie Plummer (portrayed by Claire Sweeney), which would mark his fifth time saying ‘I do’.
In the latest twists of the ITV drama, the conniving Cassie has been seen targeting Ken, even going as far as to poison him by slipping medication into his tea. The plot thickened when Ken had a health scare from the poisoning and was whisked away to hospital.
However, it was Tracy Barlow (acted by Kate Ford) who found herself in the firing line for the incident, while Ken seems to be quite taken with having Cassie in his life.

On Monday’s visit to Weatherfield (December 30), viewers saw Cassie break down in tears, prompting concern from Ken for his companion. She then confessed her distress was due to amassing credit card debt over Christmas gifts for her family.
Cassie confided in Ken that she was keeping this debt hidden from her relatives but was struggling to manage the repayments, reports Lancs Live.
Ken, ever the good Samaritan, offered to assist Cassie by providing her with a temporary loan to cover her debts. However, later in the episode, Amy (played by Elle Mulvaney) expressed her worries when her grandfather disclosed the arrangement.
Amy’s skepticism was palpable as she grimaced, clearly doubtful of both Ken’s and Cassie’s intentions.

But with Ken seemingly oblivious to Cassie’s manipulation, some Corrie watchers are predicting that he will propose marriage as a way to keep her close, and she will accept with designs on his wealth.
A fan took to X, posting: “Ken proposes, Cassie accepts? ” Another excitedly posted: “Marriage? “.
Another soap fan weighed in: “Cassie and Ken in #Corrie, I wonder if they’ll marry, initially for the wrong reasons and then she’ll actually be in it for the right reasons? Either way, buy shares in Viagra or other “firming” drugs! “.
“Cassie will soon get Ken to propose. #Corrie”, predicted another viewer. “Cassie and Kenny are going to get wed aren’t they? #corrie”, speculated a fan of the show.
