Ronnie's gesture backfires as Debbie turns to drink in Corrie

Has Abi lost control of Debbie?

10-16 MAY

At the wedding fayre, Leanne bitches about the position of the Speed Daal pitch and Debbie tries to ignore her.

Meanwhile, as Maria heads out to set up, Lou steals a bottle of prosecco, promising she’ll be with her once she’s finished Tracy’s hair. But when Lou fails to turn up, Maria's not happy.

As Leanne bangs on about the poor position of the Speed Daal stand, Debbie who’s already floundering after losing her clipboard, loses her temper and tries to shift the stand herself, cutting her hand in the process.

Ronnie insists on taking her to A&E and when a nurse tells Debbie she needs to ask some questions about her medical history, she masks her panic, ordering a dejected Ronnie to leave.

In the bistro, Abi and Debbie order soft drinks with lunch, but when Ronnie enters, Debbie changes to a large vodka. As a drunken Debbie staggers to the loos, Abi calls Carl for help. When Carl arrives, a drunken Debbie tells Abi she’s had some bad news.
