Passion confirmed for Steve and Cassie in Corrie - but a twist follows
Coronation Street couple Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) and Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) have tried to keep their hands off each other on numerous occasions in the past, but they keep being drawn back together.
This has been tricky in the past, mainly because Cassie isn't the most popular person in the Barlow family. Face it, if you want to ingratiate yourself with a family, do not drug the patriarch's tea.
Cassie and Steve realised they were attracted to each other in the aftermath of Tracy (Kate Ford) dumping Steve in favour of former football legend Tommy Orpington (Matt Milburn).
Even though Tommy turned out to be more interested in football than Tracy and she soon ended up back in Weatherfield, she was perfectly clear that this didn't mean a reconciliation with Steve was on the cards.
'I think Tracy's quite happy to be out of the relationship with Steve because she just got so bored of him,' Kate Ford summarised. 'I think she's just happy with Steve being Amy's dad and keeping him in the friend zone.'
Moving swiftly out of the friend zone and into Steve's affections was Cassie, then employed as a carer for Ken (William Roache), who'd been unwell.
Cassie liked working for Ken so much that when he threatened to make a full recovery and not need her any more she started adding little something to his beverages to make him a bit sleepy, forgetful and just generally dependent.
This was soon discovered and the family were furious at Cassie for risking Ken's life and taking advantage of both his good nature and his bank account. She was quickly ousted from the family home. More Trending
But it wasn't long before she and Steve reconnected – much to Tracy's disgust.

In episodes airing soon, there's a big development in their relationship. Steve kisses Cassie and declares that they're now officially a couple and he doesn't care who knows it. He may want to revise that last statement, though, as someone who already knows is Tracy.
Will she be willing to let bygones be bygones and support her ex as he moves on with his life?

The dog, which is classed as "non-binary" by fans due to it being referred to as both a he and a she while on EastEnders, was usually seen on-screen with Janine and was involved in several key scenes. Terence was part of the EastEnders cast for eight years, before making their last appearance in December 2009. The dog proved popular among fans, with users on Reddit group r/EastEnders recently describing Terrence as their "all-time favourite pet" from the BBC soap.

Miley Cyrus claims she was once blamed for dad's Hannah Montana drug use
Miley Cyrus has claimed her dad Billy Ray Cyrus used to 'smoke pot' on the set of Hannah Montana – and she got the blame. The 32-year-old singer, who shot to fame playing a teenage school girl with a secret life as a pop star on the Disney Channel sitcom between 2006 and 2011, admitted the awkward moment was her most 'hilarious' memory from the series. During an appearance on her mother Tish Cyrus and sister Brandi Cyrus' Sorry We're Cyrus podcast, Miley was asked to share her funniest memory from the show. 'Dad smoking pot and everyone blaming me for it. It's hilarious,' she recalled. 'He wasn't sharing 'cause Tish wasn't toking yet.' Her mother laughed as she remembered the incident, and joked she tried to defend her then-husband – who she divorced in 2023 – while putting the blame on Miley's co-star Mitchel Musso. 'They were calling me, saying B-Ray was smoking pot, and I was saying: ''Absolutely not, he would never do that. It's Mitchel Musso,'' she quipped. Miley replied: 'Well, it was Mitchel. It was Mitchel Musso! It was both.' However, Mitchel – who played Miley's friend Oliver on the show – had different memories of the incident. 'Well, that's not how I remember it,' the 33-year-old former child star said in a statement to E! News. 'However, I've got plenty of stories from those years that might be worth having a conversation about. 'If we're revisiting Hannah Montana history – just say the word. All love to Miley and the fam … even when the rewrites get this creative.' Elsewhere during the chat with her mum and sister, Miley also revealed a recent incident in which her mother seemingly unfollowed her on Instagram after the singer went to see Billy Ray, 63. More Trending This sparked rumours of another family feud – but the singer has revealed it was actually just a 'bug' in the platform. 'If you were in the family or not in the family, it was weird timing. I went to see B-Ray, and you did mysteriously unfollow me – and then you got some backlash and suddenly knew how to press that follow button,' she joked. 'The truth is boring. There's a bug in Meta, it naturally unfollows the person that you follow with the most engagement … I was either, like: 'Mom lost her glasses and can't see,' which is what I thought happened. Then, there was actually a bug in Meta.' View More » Metro has contacted Billy Ray Cyrus' reps for comment. Got a story?

Legendary BBC series hailed as ‘guilty pleasure' streaming for free in UK
A cult TV series has been added to a streaming service in its entirety for the first time ever, giving audiences a rare opportunity to watch it the whole way through. Eldorado, the short-lived BBC One soap from EastEnders creators Tony Holland and Julia Smith, is available to watch on UKTV Play. The iconic soap, which ran for just 156 episodes, followed the lives of British and European expatriates who resided in the fictional town of Los Barcos in Spain. It hit screens first in 1992, with BBC bosses hopeful of replicating the success of Australian imports such as Neighbours or Home and Away. The show didn't exactly pan out as the station hoped, though it did undergo huge changes towards the end of its run, which received positive reviews from audiences and an uptick in ratings. Despite the improvements, however, Eldorado was ultimately cancelled in 1993. Viewers who missed the BBC serial first time around have had few opportunities in the subsequent decades to give it a go, with the soap having been re-run on TV a number of times. UK Gold screened it in the late 90s and early noughties and a selection of episodes were made available on the UK's BritBox a few years ago. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

U&Drama re-ran the cult soap in its entirety earlier this year, with episodes added to streaming service UKTV Play for a short time after broadcast. However, the service has now re-added the earlier episodes, meaning that – for the first time ever – fans can essentially stream the whole Los Barcos saga. Though Eldorado was critiqued during its initial run, fan opinion has softened over the years. One viewer wrote on Reddit that they were enjoying the latest round of re-runs, branding the serial a 'guilty pleasure.' Another called the show 'brilliant' and 'comedy gold'. Just two weeks into the re-runs, fans were quick to share their delight at being able to revisit the sunny soap. '#Eldorado continues to deliver absolute camp' said one on X. More Trending Another added: 'Enjoying the repeats of Eldorado. I mean I can't hear it half the time but at least I can blame those Spanish acoustics and not my age.' 'Thoroughly enjoyed the first episodes of #Eldorado being repeated yesterday' said one. When the repeats concluded, fan James wrote on X: 'Los Barcos, I'm gonna miss you,' referring to the overhauled era of the show as 'f***ing fantastic television'.
