Coronation Street Sue Devaney was reportedly shocked after learning her character is to be 'killed off' in 2025. The ITV soap hasn't confirmed the news as it doesn't comment on future storylines.
However, the actress has played Debbie Webster, the sister of Kevin Webster, on and off for four decades, is expected to to be at the centre of a devastating storyline which will see her character diagnosed with dementia.
A source told The Sun: "Sue was very shocked when she discovered she was being killed off. She was initially very sad and then furious and then upset again.
It’s taken her a long time to come to terms with it. She had no intention to leave the show and couldn’t believe it when they called her in and broke the news." However, Sue - who first appeared in the ITV soap in 1984 - believes the storyline will be hugely important and impactful and is putting in a lot of effort to do justice to those suffering with the disease.
