‘It Was A Lovely Ceremony And Very Low Key’ Says Corrie Actress
Sue Devaney has exchanged vows with her partner, former BBC journalist Jim O’Farrell. Sue, who’s played Debbie Webster on and off since 1984, was radiant in a red dress, flashing a big, bright smile after their three-year engagement. According to the wedding guests, the 57-year-old actress looked like a ‘million dollars.’
This event comes seven years after Sue discussed focusing on her career instead of marriage or kids. Her impressive work spans shows like Shameless, Casualty, Dinnerladies, and a global tour of Mamma Mia. Previously, at nearly 50, the soap star expressed that she never had children because she was busy with her career.
She mentioned to The Big Issue that she doesn’t believe in the idea of juggling multiple responsibilities. She shared that she simply enjoys a fulfilling life outside of acting. A source shared, “It was a lovely ceremony and very low-key considering Sue’s fame. Everyone is really happy for them.”
Debbie Comes To Jack’s Rescue
Back in Dales, the star’s character is involved in a plot with her grandson Jack. This week, she stepped in when Jack was being bullied about his stepmum Abi’s deepfake porn videos. Viewers must know that the ITV star has always made fans laugh. She emphasised the importance of seeing the humour in things.
Sue recalled how, even during the difficult time of her mother’s illness, she and her sister found moments of laughter. She highlighted that Northerners are particularly good at finding joy in the darkest of places. This perspective influenced her development of Debbie, a character inspired by the strong Northern women she has encountered.
Fans love Sue Devaney’s ability to find humour in adversity. Now, as she marks a joyful milestone in her personal life, we wish her a joyous married life. For more updates on Coronation Street and its stars, keep checking Soap Opera Daily! Let us see if Debbie manages to get Jack out of trouble!
