There’s a surprise twist for Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) in the latest instalment of Coronation Street.
Following Debbie’s collapse, which led her to finally tell her loved ones of her dementia diagnosis, Debbie went missing from the hospital.
Her brother Kevin (Michael Le Vell) is worried for her, but in Wednesday’s (25th June 2025) episode, Debbie calls him and says she’s spending some time at a spa.
But we soon see that, actually, a dishevelled Debbie is calling from a police station.
Later, Kevin’s wife Abi (Sally Carman-Duttine) takes a call from Debbie and heads off to pick her up.
But as Abi comes to her rescue, what’s happened to Debbie?
You’ll have to tune in to the episode in question now on ITVX to find out exactly what’s gone on, or you can wait until 8pm on ITV.

Whatever Debbie has been up to, though, she can still find plenty of humour, and there are uplifting scenes between Devaney and co-star Carman-Duttine, as Debbie tells it like it is in the face of her illness.
By the end of the week, Debbie’s ex-fiancé Ronnie Bailey (played by Vinta Morgan) is on a mission to win her back, bringing a bottle of champagne to her hotel and asking to get back together.
Debbie admits that she loves Ronnie, but refuses to reunite as she wants him to find happiness elsewhere rather than become her carer.
It’s clear that Ronnie adores Debbie, and he’s always known there was more to their breakup than she was letting on.
So, can Ronnie convince Debbie to take a chance on love, and learn to rely on him?
Devaney has confirmed that her alter ego’s storyline will be on screen well into 2027, and as the actress continues to earn well-deserved praise for her engaging performances, we hope to see a lot more of Debbie.
