Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) lost her job at Webster’s Autocentre after making cruel comments on Abi Webster’s (Sally Carman-Duttine) deepfake porn drama.

It was a disastrous month for Abi, who discovered that an independent production company had made a documentary series about the footballing successes of her son’s killer, Corey Brent, while behind bars.

Furious, she stormed into the producer’s office and demanded the film be pulled, but it was too late as it had been delivered to the broadcaster weeks before.

Determined to make a change, Nina contacted Suki Waters (Laura Littlewood) of the Weatherfield Gazette, who arranged for Abi to speak candidly about her son’s death in a video interview.

However, things were about to take a more sinister turn when her former drug dealer, Dean Turnbull (Anthony Crank), showed up at the garage and demanded money. Abi was quick to shut him up, she threatened him not to show his face and sent him away while Cassie looked on.

Later that day, Tyrone (Alan Halsall) opened the work email account to see that someone had forwarded a sex tape featuring Abi – and it quickly spread online, including in the comments section of his call video.

Having no memory of this ever being done, she assumed it had been recorded while she was under the influence of heroin.

It later became clear that this was a cruel deepfake attack, and in tonight’s episode (June 3), another video was uploaded.

At the garage, two teenagers arrived and started filming Abi, causing her to lash out.

Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) recalled the moment a nude video of Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) surfaced online and suggested she take the videos down from the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) to prevent them from being viewed.

This procedure would ask an Internet service provider or search engine to remove or disable access.

Elsewhere, deepfakes were the talk of the streets, and Cassie told Tyrone that it wouldn’t surprise her if they were real and that Abi was too drugged to remember them.

After being heard, Kevin ordered him to leave – and to his surprise, Tyrone obliged.

Will Cassie be able to apologize?
