It may be a dream day for Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) as she prepares to marry Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) this Christmas, but her own Coronation Street family could de-rail the ceremony entirely as the warring continues.

Kevin (Michael le Vell) recently split from wife Abi (Sally Carman) after she had been having an affair with his brother Carl (Jonathan Howard).

However, the plot thickens like treacle.

Because Carl is also cheating on Abi with James (Jason Callender) – who, yep, happens to be related to groom Ronnie!

So can we expect this day of glitz and glamour to be reduced to exploding secrets and angry confrontations?

It remains to be seen, but the tone is set in these filming pictures, which show cast members filming tense scenes.

As Carl heads to help Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) out of the car, a clearly fuming Kevin intervenes and takes over from him, helping his mate to his feet while Carl and Abi look on incredulously.

It certainly doesn’t bode well for a harmonious wedding dinner does it?

Earlier, pictures revealed Debbie on the way to her wedding in the most unique of ways, grinning in her wonderfully Debbie-esque dress while being helped by Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove).

And the filming has continued this November, as the cast congregate, smile and laugh together through takes.

Spotted among attendees are Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor), Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger) and vicar Billy Mayhew, suggesting that the reported death story for departing Daniel Brocklebank has yet to be filmed.

While the wedding hangs on whether Debbie’s family can get along, boss Kate Brooks did promise plenty of joy for the beloved character, assuring Metro that she wouldn’t be defined by her dementia diagnosis.

‘We’re not galloping our way through the story at all. We love Debbie!’ the producer smiled.

‘Debbie is brilliant and she’s so funny, and she’s so full of life and joy. There are so many stories that are happening around Debbie that are not dependent on whether she’s got dementia or not.

‘For Debbie, she’s enjoying life. She’s living life. She’s making the most of it. She’s obviously planning for a big wedding with Ronnie, which happens towards the end of the year.

‘It’s going to be a really gorgeous, joyful wedding. It’s very Debbie in its execution. It smacks of Debbie being lovable and a bit out there.

‘Also, we’ll get to see the dementia choir, the debut of the dementia choir that Debbie’s been so invested and involved in.

‘She’s focusing on that because she wants to enjoy the time she has here. She wants to enjoy her love for Ronnie. She’s desperate for her family to get back on an even keel, for her brothers to be united again.

‘She navigating all this as well as still running a successful business. This story is really in its infancy.’

She added: ‘And yes, there are some times when she will forget things but she’s living with it. You know, she’s still got a life. She’s not just a person who has dementia. She’s not defined by it at all.

‘Her stories are not defined by it either, for a really long time. So we are just enjoying Debbie being Debbie.

‘The other thing we have as well, which I think is so important to Coronation Street, is Debbie has this real strong group of female friends. We really start to develop and invest in that friendship.
