Speaking about how Debbie knows Ray, actress Sue Devaney told Entertainment Daily and other media: “Well they use to go out together a long time ago and I think Ray really hurt her.
“And I think as well, Debbie’s at a certain age now, like me, she’s in her fifties, she’s got more life behind her than in front of her. So you know when you look at your life at a certain age and you think ‘oh’.
“Well she’s never been married, never had any kids. She’s always been into her business and yet years have passed by and she’s always gone for the bad guy. She’s always fancied the rough and ready bloke, which has been Ray obviously. And I think Ray really hurt her in the past, so she kind of threw herself into her work then.

“But I think she’s also go a soft spot for him and she doesn’t know how letchy Ray is because when she knew him, he was just a womaniser and you know, promised her the world and was also promising another 10 women at the same time.
“So I don’t actually think Debbie knows who she’s got involved with this time around as well.”
Coronation Street airs on Mondays and Wednesdays 7.30pm and 8.30pm. There’s an hour long episode at 7.30 on Fridays on ITV
