Coronation Street star Sue Devaney has explained why her alter ego Debbie Webster will soon return to Weatherfield.
Sue famously played Debbie from 1984 until 1985 before making a return to the show last year, 34 years after her character’s departure.
Although her 2019 return was short and sweet, Debbie is coming back to the cobbles once again and it seems like she will be sticking around for a while.
And Sue has explained why Debbie wanted to come back to Weatherfield.
Speaking to Entertainment Daily at a recent press event, Sue said: “Business has brought Debbie back to Weatherfield.
‘She lives in Turkey but she was missing her family. She’s very close to her brother and I think she wanted to be around family more.
“The thing with Debbie is, wherever she travels and whatever she does, she always comes back home.
“She has never forgotten where she comes from. She takes comfort in that and, this time around, she thinks ‘I quite like it here.’

“I think she’s going to do a few business deals and stuff but she also wants to make sure her brother is alright.
“He is seeing Abi but she wonders, ‘Is she good enough for him? Is she going to be kind to him? Is she going to be nice to him?'”
