  • On Friday, Debbie Webster was sentenced to two years and eight months after pleading guilty to causing Billy Mayhew's death.
  • Evidence shows Carl Webster was the driver, had been drinking and moved an unconscious Debbie into the driver's seat to frame her, and she accepted blame because he is her biological son.
  • Shortly after arriving in her cell, Debbie suffered another TIA, was rushed to hospital, and was handcuffed to the bed, highlighting her early‑onset vascular dementia diagnosis.
  • Weatherfield residents and viewers reacted angrily as Carl disowned Debbie, stating he wanted no further association and would not visit her in prison.
  • Coronation Street framed the storyline to explore dementia and imprisonment, with fans believing Ronnie could be the route to Debbie's release, as actress Sue Devaney confirmed adjustments for prison scenes.
