Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street star Sue Devaney has revealed more details of Debbie Webster's return and the tensions she'll face with Abi Franklin.
Kevin's younger sister arrives back in Weatherfield next week and wastes no time before expressing disapproval over his relationship with Abi.
Debbie's reappearance comes just as Abi has suffered a relapse with her addiction issues. Although Debbie doesn't know this at first, her presence on the cobbles is sure to add more pressure to Abi's life.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other media in a recent chat, Sue explained: "Business has brought Debbie back to Weatherfield. She lives in Turkey but she was missing her family. She's very close to her brother and I think she wanted to be around family more.
What to Read Next
"The thing with Debbie is, wherever she travels and whatever she does, she always comes back to home. She has never forgotten where she's come from. She takes comfort in that and, this time round, she thinks: 'I quite like it here'.
"I think she's going to do a few business deals and stuff, but she also wants to make sure her brother is all right. He is seeing Abi but Debbie wonders: 'Is she good enough for him? Is she going to be kind to him? Is she going to be nice to him?'"

On the tensions that follow between the two characters, Sue continued: "I think they are two very strong women that speak their mind. If Kevin is happy, Debbie's happy, but I think she doesn't want him to make a fool of himself again.
"She is very wary of Abi, just because of what she has seen. But I think she likes Abi too. I don't think she dislikes her. I think she wants her to be honest and sincere with it – and I don't think Debbie thinks she is very sincere.
"Debbie doesn't keep her nose out. I think she gets her nose right in the middle of things and thinks: 'Right, what is going on?' What she is trying to do is find out if Abi is genuine. Kevin has been hurt so many times, so Debbie wants to make sure it's a strong relationship because he means the world to her.
"But Debbie is a woman's woman and I think she is fond of Abi. There is something in Abi that she likes.
"Sally Carman, who plays Abi, is fabulous. I love all my scenes with Sally. I knew Sal before as well, we have a mutual friend, so it was lovely to do my scenes with her."
Coronation Street airs Debbie's return on Wednesday, August 26 at 7.30pm on ITV.
