After weeks of behaving suspiciously, Bernie notices that Cassie seems particularly uneasy whenever Ross is around.
Cassie eventually admits that she’s being blackmailed, prompting Bernie to encourage her to deal with the situation head-on rather than letting it continue.
Whether she’ll take Bernie’s advice remains to be seen.
Ross, meanwhile, is focused on getting to know his son Tyrone Dobbs.
Their relationship appears to be moving in the right direction, but Tyrone also starts to realise there’s something odd going on involving Cassie and Steve McDonald.
When he uncovers the truth, he’s left shocked.
Things become even more awkward for Cassie when she discovers Ross has spent the night with Tracy Barlow at No.1. Concerned that Tracy doesn’t know what Ross is really like, Cassie tries to warn her, but Tracy isn’t interested in listening.
Later, after seeing Tracy and Ross kissing in the street, Cassie spots Ross heading into the Bistro carrying flowers. Assuming he’s playing Tracy, she tells her what she’s witnessed, instantly putting Tracy’s good mood on hold.
However, Ross is left confused when Tracy suddenly gives him the cold shoulder.
While explaining who the flowers are really for, he also tells Tracy that he’d rather slow things down between them so he can concentrate on building a relationship with Tyrone. And it doesn’t take Ross long to work out that Cassie has been interfering.
In this new video, we see the moment Ross calls at No.9 and warns her to stay out of his life, leaving Cassie with another difficult situation to deal with.
Tyrone then arrives, and tells Cassie to leave. Reeling in the shock, Cassie is gutted when Tyrone claims that she’s very good at interfering in his efforts to get to know his dad.
The latest developments come after a difficult week for Cassie.
Hoping to prove how serious she was about Steve, she surprised him by getting down on one knee and proposing in the cab office. Things didn’t go as she’d hoped, and after feeling hurt she headed to the Chariot Square Hotel, where she drank vodka and flirted with another man while Steve searched for her.
Although Steve later suggested they put the last few days behind them, Cassie kept quiet about what had happened. At the same time, Tyrone has been dealing with some life-changing news of his own after Hope and Ruby revealed they’d sent off his DNA and tracked down his biological father, Ross.
Despite Cassie’s concerns, Tyrone has agreed to get to know him, leaving her increasingly worried as Ross becomes more involved in the family’s lives.
With Bernie urging Cassie to stop letting Ross control the situation and Steve still unaware of the full truth, next week looks set to be another challenging one for Cassie as she decides what her next move is and how much longer she’ll be sticking around the Cobbles.
