Debbie Dingle making festive Emmerdale return
Debbie’s return had been kept a closely guarded secret until the trailer showed the character rowing with mum Charity Dingle.
The mother and daughter are seen clashing over Debbie’s daughter Sarah, who appears to have been drawn into a dark drugs plot again.
“She is my little girl, my responsibility,” Debbie shouts at her mum.
In another scene Sarah can be seen looking guilty as the police question the new vicar’s son Ethan over drugs found on him.
He insists the drugs aren’t his as Sarah looks on suspiciously.
Debbie’s back!!!! You honestly don’t understand how excited I am!
In a third scene Charity tells Sarah that the finger is being pointed at her – and it’s clear she’s in trouble.
But what has she done?
