Debbie Webster’s world turned upside down this week on Coronation Street, just when she thought she was doing the right thing for her brother, the truth smacked her right in the face. She’s already had so much to deal with lately, but nothing could’ve prepared her for this.
She Thought Kevin Still Needed Her
Earlier this year, Debbie received the heartbreaking diagnosis of young-onset dementia. Ever since, she’s been trying to focus on what truly matters. That’s why, when she thought Kevin was still battling cancer, she felt this strong pull to be there for him; not just emotionally, but physically too. Debbie made the decision to move in closer to him so they could support each other.
She even tried to buy No.6 from Alya Nazir, thinking it would put her right near Kevin. But she wasn’t the only one after that house. Carla Connor was also eyeing it up, she wanted to move in there with Lisa. Things got pretty heated between the two women as Debbie refused to back down. She had no clue that everything Kevin told her about still having cancer was a complete lie.
Coronation Street: Debbie Learns The Truth
It all came crashing down when Jack confided in Debbie that something was wrong at home. Without knowing the full story, she assumed Abi had walked out on Kevin while he was still sick. Furious, she stormed over to confront her but what she got in return floored her.
Abi had had enough and blurted out the truth, Kevin had been given the all-clear weeks ago. Debbie couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She had been up at night, worried sick about him. She had argued with Carla, made life plans, all based on a lie.
To make it worse, she soon found out Carl Webster had also been in on it. Both of them had let her believe Kevin was still fighting cancer; when really, he wasn’t. Debbie went straight to Kevin and let him have it.
She told him that living with her condition had made her see things more clearly, and that people who lie to her weren’t worth her time. She reminded him how she’d been losing sleep, worrying about him, while he sat back and let her believe a false story.
Proposal Enroute!
She felt completely betrayed. And then, in a moment that hit like a ton of bricks, Debbie told him that he was no longer her brother. No more second chances. She turned around and walked off, her trust in him completely shattered. Now that the truth is out, it’s hard to imagine Debbie ever forgiving Kevin.
But amidst the heartbreak, there’s a glimmer of hope. In upcoming episodes, Debbie will head to Bernie and Dev’s wedding, and there, she’s planning a big surprise of her own. She’s going to propose to Ronnie. So while one relationship is breaking down, another could be just beginning. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street spoilers, and drama!
