OHMYGOSSIP — Sue Devaney has signed a new contract to remain on ‘Coronation Street’.
The 53-year-old actress returned to the ITV soap as Debbie Webster for just two episodes in 2019 after more than 30 years away from Weatherfield, but she has now revealed she’s put pen to paper on a brand-new contract that will see her appear on the soap until at least April 2022.
She said: “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.”
Sue loves having the chance to play Debbie as she believes the character is “fun” to play thanks to the different ways she reacts to certain people.
She added: “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.”
And most of all, Sue loves that her character “doesn’t let anyone get in her way”.
She explained: “I love the fact that she is a b**** 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.
“She goes out of the door, she puts her armour on and paints her face on, and she is the warrior woman.
“She is a powerful strong woman with great style.”
