Coronation Street star Sue Devaney has addressed the shocking prospect that Carl Webster could be killed off this month.
Carlâs days in Weatherfield may be numbered, as heâs one of five possible victims in the grisly events airing on 23 April. Fans have been speculating since Corrieâs recent flashforward scenes, which saw Betsy Swain being questioned by police after finding a body on Carla and Lisaâs wedding day.
Sueâs character Debbie Webster is still hoping to build bridges with her estranged son when sheâs released from prison next week, but time could be running out for them.
In an exclusive new chat with Inside Soap, Sue spoke about the possibility that Debbieâs husband Ronnie Bailey could be responsible for Carlâs death.
âPoor Ronnie â he just wants Debbie to have a lovely time during whatever time they have left, so goes along with anything she wants,â Sue explained. âSometimes, I do think she takes him for granted, though.
âAs for murder? Well, we do know Ronnie is a bit of a gangster, donât we? So who knows?â
On the alternative scenario â Carl sticking around to redeem himself â Sue added: âThe fact that Carlâs such a badâun makes it very interesting, doesnât it? If you cast your mind back, when Debbie first came back to the show, she was plotting to knock down Coronation Street and build apartments.
âThere has been a ruthless side to Debbie, so she does see herself in Carl. I do hope he can redeem himself in some way. Well, thatâs if heâs not dead, of course!â
Jonathan Howard, who plays Carl, recently teased a grisly turn of events for his character when he appeared live on ITVâs This Morning wearing visible injury make-up. He hadnât managed to wipe off his âblack eyeâ before going on air, sparking speculation that one of his enemies is about to strike.
Jodie Ramsey, Maggie Driscoll, Megan Walsh and Theo Silverton are the other four characters whoâve been named as possible casualties.
