Despite being estranged from her, he was heartbroken to discover she’d not told him about her cancer battle. Fans believe they may have worked out a Carl and Debbie twist (Credit: ITV) Debbie received a text ahead of the sad news The sad news came during Ronnie’s stag do, ahead of his upcoming wedding to Carl’s sister, Debbie.

Could Elaine have wanted to tell Carl the truth about his parentage before she passed? Coronation Street fans predict Webster family secret One fan suggested: “[Debbie] would have been 18 and wasn’t on the show in 1986 when he was born. Calling it now, I think this’ll be a reveal down the line, maybe coming out when Debbie’s dementia progresses!” A second added: “Without a doubt. There have been hints for some time now, including her recent conversation with Glenda when she asked whether Debbie regretted not having children.” A third echoed the sentiment, saying: “Anyone else think Debbie is actually Carl’s mother, had him as a teenager and her Dad and Elaine raised him?” With Debbie off screen from 1985 until 2019, and Carl born in 1986, fans seem to think it’s a plausible theory.
