Emmerdale legend teases huge comeback two years after devastating fans with soap exit
AN EMMERDALE legend has teased a huge comeback two years after he devastated fans with his exit.
Charley Webb walked away from the long-running ITV soap two years ago in a move that left fans upset.
The actress, 35, played the role of Debbie Dingle in the Dales for 19 years.
But she’s hinted that she could be making an epic comeback to Emmerdale.
In a Q&A with fans on her official Instagram account, she revealed she would be back on television “before the end of the year”.
It’s left fans hoping she will reprise her role as Debbie.
Previously confirming her exit, Charley said: “This is always my most asked question but I’ve never answered it before because I’ve never wanted to make a big deal of it.
“I left to have Ace 2 years ago. I went back at the end of last year for 10 weeks to complete a storyline.
“So, I guess officially it’s been a year. I never felt the need to announce it which is why we didn’t.”
Earlier this month Charley fought back tears as she opened up about her mum Helen’s deteriorating health.
She appeared on This Morning spoke to presenters Alison Hammond and Demot O’Leary in the wake of Coronation Street legend Julie Goodyear‘s diagnosis.
She told the hosts her mum Helen was diagnosed eight years ago and their family had been through “hell” since.
Charley recalled: “There was no support, no help, it was shocking actually, and for me and my siblings it has been eight years of hell.
“She’s now gone into a home and it was the hardest decision we’ve ever had to make.”
Charley said her mother was hugely involved in her career and so she noticed when Helen’s memory became progressively worse.
