From recent episodes, Coronation Street viewers have begun to see Debbie Webster enter a new exciting phase: the wedding.

But instead of following the familiar template of choosing a dress, finding an altar, tasting the wedding cake…

Debbie acts extremely mysteriously. She is secretive, evasive when mentioning a wedding planner, even confidently asserting that everything “has been taken care of” – just not saying who.

But the more she hides, the more the audience can clearly feel the… crossover smell with Emmerdale.

First of all, Debbie said that she hired a young, professional and sophisticated wedding planner. This planner constantly suggested extremely “dusty but classy” wedding arrangements: a choir, green space, and an open party at Debbie’s hotel. Viewers watching this were immediately reminded of Belle Dingle from Emmerdale — who once lamented that she was in charge of a wedding for a guest from Manchester, who owned a hotel and wanted to use the “garden” to clarify the concept for the ceremony. The overlap was so “addictive”: from the city, to the character description, to the artistic requirements and even the request for a choir — everything matched Debbie to the millimeter.

The drama increased when Debbie revealed that she wanted a special wedding day, not because it was fancy… but because she felt like she was struggling with her mental health. She showed signs of mild memory loss, sometimes forgetting the timeline, sometimes getting lost when talking about the future. It felt like Debbie was trying to push the wedding day forward, before everything disappeared from her memory. And the wedding planner in the dark — if it was Belle — knew more than Debbie wanted to hide.
