Debbie Webster’s wedding was supposed to be the happiest day of her life – but unexpectedly, the ceremony itself sparked a series of tragedies that rocked Weatherfield.

The festive atmosphere, the wine, the cheerful music, and the bride’s radiant smile lasted only a short time before everything crumbled in an instant.

Carl Webster – Debbie’s cousin, already known for his troublesome nature – appeared like an ominous sign.

Drunk, Carl picked a fight with several guests, then suddenly dragged Debbie outside while everyone else was still celebrating.

No one understood what was happening until the engine roared into the night and Carl’s car sped away from the wedding venue. Just minutes later, a horrific accident was reported – and Debbie was trapped inside it.

Police, ambulances, and the people of Weatherfield poured into the streets. Kevin Webster was devastated to learn of his sister’s accident, while Carl had vanished without a trace. What began as a joyous celebration turned into a tragedy. Witnesses recounted screams, billowing exhaust fumes, and flashing lights in the rainy night. This was the beginning of the “Corriedale” storm – an event that shook Coronation Street.

Viewers gasped as ITV confirmed this was just the “prelude” to a longer series of tragedies, interwoven with characters from both Coronation Street and Emmerdale. And Debbie Webster, tragically, became the focal point of all the darkness to come.
