Coronation Street<\/a> star Sue Devaney has confirmed how long Debbie Webster’s dementia storyline<\/a> will last.<\/p>\n

The character has been diagnosed with young-onset dementia, and while she has been keeping this hidden from other residents (excluding Carl), this week she will finally reveal the truth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Appearing on today’s Lorraine<\/a>, Sue revealed that the storyline will be continuing for a few years yet. <\/p>\n

“She’s not going anywhere yet, she’s not\u2026 I know the story’s going to go on well in 2027,” she shared. “Debbie’s not going anywhere, and you think, ‘Oh she’s being diagnosed with this, that’s it’. But it’s young-onset dementia, it’s how she deals with that.”<\/p>\n

Scenes this week have already seen a concerning turn for Debbie<\/a> after she lashed out at Brody Michaelis and a friend at the Chariot Square Bar, kicking them out before also clashing with Bernie Winter.<\/p>\n

Bernie will grow increasingly concerned for Debbie, and after getting overwhelmed and collapsing, Debbie finally reveals the truth about her dementia to everyone.<\/p>\n

“Debbie plainly tells Kevin she knows exactly what’s wrong with her \u2013 she has dementia,” our Corrie source has said. “She can’t fob him off after passing out. It’s a huge bombshell for Kevin, Abi and Ronnie as they struggle to process this shattering news.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Sue opened up about her feelings<\/a> when she learned about the storyline, admitting: “There was a mixture of a lot of things.<\/p>\n

“This was my first job when I was 16 and I left after a year and now it will be coming to an end again. But I also realised this was a really important story to tell and is a really fantastic opportunity to act.<\/p>\n

“Some papers claimed that I was furious about the story, which was completely untrue. The only reason I was concerned about the storyline was because I wanted to be sure I could do it justice. It is an honour and privilege to be given this sort of storyline.”<\/p>\n

Coronation Street<\/strong> airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on <\/strong>ITVX<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
