Debbie Moves To Australia!
Last month, when Sarah decided to have a baby through IVF, she got some eligibility tests done. The doctors informed her that she could have cervical cancer. She wanted to share it with her mother, Debbie Dingle. However, before she could share anything with her mother, Debbie gave her a shock by informing her that she had emigrated to Australia with her boyfriend. She secretly married her partner, Chris.
The poor teenager felt abandoned, so she decided not to disclose her condition to Debbie Dingle. When Sarah told Charity about this, even she was surprised. Elsewhere, Emma Atkins, who plays Charity Dingle in the soap, attended the British Soap Awards and reflected on Sarah’s plot and explained why Debbie moved to Australia. She shared that the plot twist was introduced to avoid Debbie’s whereabouts.
