Coronation Street star Vinta Morgan has confirmed his character Ronnie Baileyâs future amid the heartbreaking Debbie Webster plot. The latter is in the middle of a dementia storyline, while her troubles have also seen her take the fall for son Carl following the Corriedale crash, and is now in prison.
Husband Ronnie has seen through Carl, and next week he grows even more suspicious of him after Debbie instructs Ronnie to transfer £2,000 to her son.
Unable to convince her otherwise, he turns to brother Ed for advice â but will they be able to protect Debbieâs money?
Opening up Ronnieâs protective instincts, Vinta confirmed that his character will be in it for the long haul and wants to shield her from unnecessary stress.
âHe wants to protect Debbie,â the actor told The Mirror. âHe wants to slow down the illness and prevent her from any stress that could speed up her decline. He will continue to be a real rock for her.

âIâm not sure heâs going to be able to deal with it all and it remains to be seen how it changes him â heâs only human â but one thing for sure is that he wonât duck out of the fight. He will be there.â
He added: âI was a jobbing actor for a long time, forever waiting for that bus to come thatâs going to open the door and say welcome aboard, this bus is for you. Now Iâm on that bus itâs a wonderful privilege; Iâm very grateful.â
Vinta joined Corrie as Ronnie back in 2021, with the character and Debbie tying the knot earlier this year.

Meanwhile, it appears that Carl may be in some danger, with a flashforward episode earlier this week revealing he could be one of five characters set to be killed off on 23 April.
âCarl burnt all his bridges when he let Debbie take the blame for the Corriedale accident which killed Billy Mayhew,â Corrie has teased.
âSince finding out Debbie is actually his mum and not his sister, he has pressed the self-destruct button and as he continues to goad both family and neighbours, there is more than one person who would be glad to see the back of Carl.â
