Huge shock as ITV Coronation Street legend collapses in new spoiler video
A new Coronation Street spoiler video reveals the moment Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) collapses in front of her family.
Last year, Metro exclusively revealed that the iconic character was set to be diagnosed with young-onset dementia.
The storyline divided fans – who were pleased that Sue was finally being given her place in the spotlight – but furious that Debbie would ultimately be killed off.
Despite the overwhelming number of viewers opposing the plot, it was officially confirmed in January, and within a matter of weeks the character began to suffer memory loss.
Her condition was then officially confirmed by a private doctor, with only her younger brother Carl (Jonathan Howard) present. She’s since concealed it from all of her family, and ended her relationship with partner Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) for fears he would have to one day become her carer.
She also felt like brother Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) was already going through enough, following his cancer diagnosis and subsequent chemotherapy.
In upcoming scenes, she suffers another setback.
When she arrives at her Chariot Square Hotel and spots Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) at the bar, she challenges him for drinking underage.
Debbie’s behaviour quickly becomes erratic, and she smashes a glass on the bar.
A stunned Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) watches on, and later in the week, she worries when Debbie forgets to pay in the cafe.
An awards ceremony then gets underway at Speed Daal, and a jealous Debbie watches on as Ronnie laughs with Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson). She also spots Carl having an intimate conversation with Kevin’s wife Abi (Sally Carman-Duttine), and they worry that their flirty behaviour has been spotted.
Suddenly, Debbie collapses, as shown in the spoiler video above.
When she regains consciousness, her concerned family gather around. They reveal that she’s going to the hospital, and she tells them to stop, bravely opening up about her dementia.
How will the family react?
