Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) was a man on a mission in tonight’s Coronation Street.
The character discovered a few days ago that ex-partner Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) has dementia. The couple split shortly after Debbie learnt about her diagnosis, as she convinced herself that Ronnie would be better off with someone else.
With a plan formed in his head, Ronnie defiantly made his way to Debbie’s hotel with only one goal – get back with her.
Ronnie pointed out that Debbie has so many people around her that love and want to support her, and that pushing them away wouldn’t work. Debbie broke down to Ronnie at this point, telling him that she’s terrified about the future.
Holding her hands, Ronnie reassured Debbie and said that he will be there for her every step of the way and when they reach points that seem harder than others, he’ll feel worried like Debbie, because he doesn’t want her feeling completely on her own.
Debbie got back with Ronnie after declaring her love for him. The cobbles resident has struggled to accept support from people in the wake of her health news, so letting Ronnie back in was a huge step.
The couple decided to celebrate that evening with drinks in the Bistro. They sat alongside Kevin (Michael Le Vell), Abi (Sally Carman) and Carl (Johnathan Howard), who all reminded Debbie that they were here for her as well.
Though fans have been worried that Debbie would be killed off in the coming months, star Sue Devaney has set minds at rest by confirming that this isn’t the case at all.

Speaking to Lorraine recently, she said: ‘We wanted to do the diagnosis and get that sorted and then do the journey of living with dementia…
‘She’s not going anywhere yet! I know the story is going to go on well into 2027, so Debbie’s not going anywhere.’
The actress also teased the possibility of Debbie starting a choir as the ITV soap explores how she lives with the condition.
