CORONATION Street’s Debbie Webster will become the reigning queen of the cobbles as she takes control of Ray Crosby’s business empire.
The businesswoman – who is is played by actress Sue Devaney in the ITV soap – will be sticking around on the cobbles for the foreseeable future.
Sue recently signed a new contract to remain on the show until at least April 2022.
Sue revealed: “I absolutely love playing her, and I have just signed a new contract that will take me to April 2022.
“When I first came back, I never imagined I would be around for that length of time and I am delighted.
“Every day when I drive into work, I have a big grin on my face. I am so happy to be here.
“When I get to work with new people I haven’t worked with before that I have watched on screen, I am so excited.
“She is such a fun character to play. She reacts differently with different people.
“If she is talking to someone important, the posh voice is on. When she is having a row with Abi [Franklin], all the northern twang comes out. I describe her as the Joan Collins of Weatherfield.”
She added: “I love the fact that she is a bitch with a heart. I love that she doesn’t let anyone get in her way. She thinks in her world what she says is right.
“When she was in the freezer with Kevin, you see a real vulnerable side of her but she doesn’t let that out that often.
