A moving speech (Picture: ITV)
With her condition continuing to worsen, Debbie Webster’s (Sue Devaney) battle with vascular dementia in Coronation Street is put to the ultimate test when she takes centre stage to deliver a speech at an important business event.
For weeks, Coronation Street viewers have seen sharp-tongued Queen of the Cobbles Debbie struggled with symptoms of memory loss and confusion… which her no-good scheming half-brother Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) is more than happy to take advantage of.
The Worst Webster has been sabotaging Debbie at work to gaslight her into handing over the reins of the Chariot Street Hotel, so he can crack open its bank account like his own personal piggy bank.
This week, as Debbie prepare to give a speech for the Women in Business event, Carl spies another opportunity to scheme…

About to face an audience of Weatherfield businesswomen, nervous Debbie is rehearsing her speech but keeps losing her thread.
Carl assures her it’s fine to read from notes, and he capitalises on her confusion by asking for the login details to the accounts under the pretence of paying the staff. Debbie tells Carl where to find her notebook, oblivious to her brother’s shady intentions.
