Sue is one of many stars who have been axed from the soap this year

ONE of Coronation Street’s axed stars has revealed that she will be staying put with the show for a number of years despite being binned off by bosses.

Actress Sue Devaney was confirmed to have been axed last year and it was soon revealed that her exit would form part of a long-running dementia storyline.

Speaking to Lorraine Kelly on her ITV breakfast show, the Debbie Webster actress clarified that she would be with the show until 2027 before her character succumbs to the tragic condition.

Sue said to the Scottish TV host: “Well, I know this story is going to go on well into 2027.

“Debbie is not going anywhere!”

On-screen, Debbie found out she was living with early on-set vascular dementia earlier this year.

At present, only her brother Carl is aware of the devastating diagnosis.

It has so far been seen to cause Debbie to act erratically, and suffer severe mood-swings as well as forgetfulness and clumsiness.

Debbie’s condition is expected to worsen over the next 24 months before her eventual exit from the ITV soap – much to the dismay of fans.

Petitions began to circulate when her axing was revealed in order to reverse the decision by bosses with many insisting that Debbie was Coronation Street’s strongest character amid an ongoing period of criticism for the fledgling soap.

The Sun previously told how Sue was left devastated over being axed from the show.

News of her exit left the actress blindsided, with a source telling The Sun:  “Sue was very shocked when she discovered she was being killed off.

“She was initially very sad and then furious and then upset again.

“It’s taken her a long time to come to terms with it.

“She had no intention to leave the show and couldn’t believe it when they called her in and broke the news.”

She is one of many names to leave the programme alongside Colson Smith, Luca Toolan, Shelley King, Charlotte Jordan, Sue Cleaver, Daniel Brocklebank, Helen Worth, Paddy Bever and Katy Cavanagh.
