'Debbie's world has exploded'

Corrie actress Sue Devaney on Debbie Webster's devastating young onset dementia diagnosis

- 

She first appeared on Corrie more than 40 years ago, and now Sue Devaney is waving goodbye to the role of Debbie Webster for a final time as she embarks on a vascular dementia storyline.

Sue, 57, has played Kevin Webster's younger sister Debbie on and off since 1984. She first left the cobbles after a year, briefly returned in 2019, and, by 2020, was back for good. But earlier this year, producers confirmed that Debbie would be diagnosed with young onset dementia.
