Coronation Street is set to kick off Debbie Webster?s devastating exit storyline, despite a fan petition to keep the character on the soap.

The ITV soap confirmed in January that the character will be diagnosed with dementia, which will lead to her eventual exit from the show.

However, fans recently launched a petition calling for Coronation Street to ?reconsider this idea? before it began, calling Debbie ?a symbol of what makes Corrie unique: relatable characters with depth, humour, and a sense of family?.

At the time of writing, the petition has over 1,800 signatures, though ITV will be pressing ahead with the storyline that commences in episodes airing next Tuesday (March 18) and Wednesday (March 19).

In the scenes, Debbie calls at Street Cars and asks where her cab is, though is left furious when Eileen admits she cannot find Debbie?s booking.

Eileen also leaves Brian horrified when she shares that she has a lot on her mind as her sister has cancer.

Debbie later enlists Mick to help after she takes a call from the hotel revealing that there is a problem with the electrics.

However, Mick tells her it was a planned outage, with an email previously sent to her from the energy company informing her of the test. Debbie insists she never received it and refuses to pay him.

Are these the first symptoms of memory problems for Debbie?

I positively hate this. Debbie is delightful and I don't watch shows for their gloom and doom aspects. It's been bad enough with this gangster story, an episode about suicide, babies dying.
