What do we know about Ray Crosby’s murder twist?
The evil property developer will disappear after a furious showdown between Abi, Debbie and Ray during Friday night’s episode of EastEnders (22 January).
Ray will drug Abi at the Rovers and drag her back to the bistro after she records him and the Chairperson discussing their crimes – and threatens to go public with it unless he confesses to attacking Faye.
Debbie, who’s started to see Ray’s true colours in the ITV soap this week already, stumbles upon the scene and tries to call emergency services.
Does Debbie threaten Ray with Abi’s recording and force him to flee, or might she have something more sinister up her sleeve?
Does Debbie murder Ray?
Debbie is quizzed by the police next week in Corrie after they manage to trace the emergency call about Abi back to Debbie’s phone.
Debbie tells the police she found Abi unconscious on the bistro floor and assumed she’d overdosed so called an ambulance, but is there more to the story?
When Ray tries to stop Debbie from calling emergency services, soap boss Ian MacLeod recently teased there’s a “brilliant power struggle” between the pair.
He told The Celeb Report Online: “There’s some fantastic stuff there where Abi takes Ray on and her life is in a fair amount of jeopardy.
“That, in turn, draws in Kevin and Debbie – as they end up in Ray’s crosshairs as well.
“There’s a really brilliant power struggle between Debbie and Ray, which has twists and turns – with literal life-or-death jeopardy. It’s all really exciting.”
Does Debbie murder Ray?
With Corrie keeping exact details under wraps, viewers will have to tune in to find out.
What has Sue Devaney said about Ray?
Speaking about Debbie’s relationship with Ray after she was revealed as his secret accomplice last November, actress Sue Devaney revealed to Digital Spy: “Well, they used to go out together and I think Ray really hurt her. Years have passed by since, but she has always gone for the bad guys like Ray.”
Speaking about Debbie’s naivety, Sue added: “Debbie threw herself into her work after her relationship with Ray, but she still has a soft spot for him.
“She doesn’t know how letchy Ray is because when she knew him, he was just a womaniser.
Hinting at a change of heart when Debbie sees Ray’s true colours, Sue added: “He promised her the world, but he was also promising another 10 women at the same time. I don’t think Debbie knows who she has got involved with this time around.”
