Coronation Street<\/a> spoilers follow.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street star Sue Devaney has revealed that there is a “beautiful” Christmas period ahead for her character Debbie Webster, ahead of a tragic change to her powerful dementia storyline.<\/p>\n

Since her young on-set dementia diagnosis in 2025<\/a>, the soap has followed Debbie and her loved ones as they adapt to her developing condition.<\/p>\n

We recently reported that as part of this storyline, there will be a special episode<\/a> that explores the world from Debbie\u2019s perspective, that Sue confirms will air after Christmas.<\/p>\n

But speaking exclusively to us at Inside Soap<\/a>, Sue also explains that while her character will have a joyous festive period this year, there are some heartbreaking times ahead in early 2027.<\/p>\n

“I think Debbie takes a turn for the worse after Christmas,” she reveals. “She has the most beautiful Christmas, and then from the New Year she goes downhill. I keep asking our producer Kate Brooks, \u2018Is that is now? Is this where Debbie goes?\u2019 But she says no, we\u2019re still seeing Debbie as she is.<\/p>\n

“Even with the people that I know with dementia, they might not remember things, but their personality is still there. I do wonder if Debbie will lose her personality completely, but I don\u2019t know.”<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, Debbie and her husband Ronnie have faced some major challenges, with Ronnie struggling to cope with his wife\u2019s deteriorating condition. Next week, the couple will sit down to make some difficult decisions<\/a> about Debbie’s future care.<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s important to show it from both sides,” Sue says on Debbie and Ronnie\u2019s relationship<\/a>. “I think that\u2019s more of a realistic story to tell, to show it warts and all, from the side of how they\u2019re coping as well. It doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019ve stopped loving somebody, it just means that it\u2019s hard.<\/p>\n

“I love the way Corrie have written it. They put all the proper relationship stuff in, which is what you want to see in a couple. You want to see what they\u2019re like at home, in their onesies and having a laugh together. That\u2019s been really nice to see, and for us both to play.”<\/p>\n
