Coronation Street 'imposter' Claire Sweeney shares how being in bed helped her get Cassie role and reveals link to iconic Brookside job Corrie
Claire Sweeney has shared how she felt like an ‘imposter’ on her first day on the cobbles as she prepares to make her on-screen debut in Coronation Street. .
“I love Cassie and I hope the audience loves her as well, as much as I do,” Claire told the Manchester Evening News and other press. “She’s troubled, she’s feisty, she’s going to cause some trouble on the cobbles. “My agent got an email asking me to do a self-tape and it came at like six o’clock in the evening and they needed it the next day,” Claire explained.”It was one of those times when I’d been really busy working and it was the only night off I had so thankfully I was at home.
Clearly pleased with what they saw, Claire was then invited to do a chemistry test with Alan Halsall, who is famed for playing Tyrone in Corrie for more than 20 years and she shared how ‘reality struck’ when she arrived at the Salford-based set. And getting the role was probably meant to be for Claire as she got the all-important news on a very special date which also shared a link to her getting her now-famous part in Brookside.
