Debbie falls apart as Carl decision shocks Ronnie in Coronation Street spoiler video

Coronation Street fans have been dreaming of a million ways to get rid of weaselly slimeball Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) for months.

Debbie Webster’s (Sue Devaney) cracked it.

Turns out, he’ll sling his hook for two grand… or will he?

Carl Webster’s got more nine lives than all the cats in Weatherfield put together.

At least as far as Debbie’s concerned.

No matter how many selflish acts he committed or lives he destroyed, Debs always gave him the benefit of the doubt.

Seduce Kevin Webster’ (Michael Levell) wife Abi (Sally Carman-Duttine) into a torrid affair that tears their marriage apart only to dump her when you get bored?

Boys will be boys.

Cause the hit-and-run that put Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) in a wheelchair?

We all make mistakes!

Debbie was even prepared to go to prison for a crime she didn’t commit when Carl’s reckless drunk driving resulted in the Corriedale crash that killed Billy Mayhew… and he slid poor Debs into the driving seat and gaslit her into taking the rap!

Why did Debbie give Carl so many chances?

Partly from the guilt of lying that he was her little brother all these years, when he was actually the secret son that she gave up – a fact that Carl brings up manipulatively every time he needs something.

But also, Debbie’s time in prison has caused a rapid decline in Debbie’s vascular dementia, and her husband Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) lays the blame for this squarely at Carl’s door.

But as Carl became more desperate for cash, his behaviour got worse and worse, leading to him attempting to cheat Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) out of Billy’s life insurance by offering to reveal who is truly to blame for her adoptive father’s death.

The one good thing Carl ever did was point Summer in abuser Theo Silverton’s (James Cartwright) direction, and even then he wanted his palm crossing with silver in return.

Then Ronnie got so furious with Carl for making Debbie’s already stressful life so miserable that he attacked him in a rage.

In response, Carl blackmailed his mother by threatening to file assault charges against Ronnie unless she gave him half of her beloved Chariot Hotel.

This was Debbie’s wakeup call.

Realising that her son is not interested in redemption, she paid him two grand in an envelope to stay out of her life.

Despite everything, Debbie wished her ne’er-do-well son no ill will and even gave him a Saint Christopher’s medal, traditionally given to travellers to wish them safe passage on long journeys.

Although Carl was acting like he couldn’t care less, the heartbreak on his face was palpable.

Nevertheless, Deb was steadfast in her decision to turn her back on her wayward son…
… or so we thought.

In this sneak peak of Corrie yet to come, Debbie seems to be regretting it already as she laments the ‘pay-off’ – to Ronnie and Kevin.

In the hotel, Debbie reveals how she parted with two grand in return for Carl never darkening their door again.

Ronnie consoles himself with the thought that at least they can all get some peace and quiet now.

Debbie’s answer could not be more Debbie.

‘Don’t you think peace and quiet is overrated?’ she asks.

‘I quite like noise and mess’.

Kevin reminds her that Carl gave her no choice.

‘He’s like poison.

He uses people.

And that’s not your fault.

That’s just the way he is’.

While Debbie’s said similar to Carl’s face herself, she still looks devastated to hear them coming from her own brother.

But maybe Ronnie’s right.

Perhaps it will all be worth it to have Carl out of their lives…
… except Carl’s not done with them just yet.

Coronation Street has already teased that Carl will commit one last act of revenge before he goes by targeting Kevin.

That’s not all.

There’s a murderer on the Cobbles, and Carl is one of five potential victims.

Has Carl finally pushed his family too far?
