Additionally, the "Debbie’s Angels" friendship group, which has been supporting Debbie Webster through her dementia diagnosis, will remain central to the narrative. The group includes Abi Webster, Bernie Winter, Christina Boyd, Sally Metcalfe, and Glenda Shuttleworth. Glenda Shuttleworth is set to have a significant character-driven storyline involving romance in the new year.
