Coronation Street fans were left both amused and moved when beloved cast member Sue Devaney made a cheeky and heartfelt public declaration of affection for her former co-star Charlotte Jordan. Known for her role as the fiery Debbie Webster on the iconic ITV soap, Sue didn’t hold back in expressing just how much she adores the actress behind Weatherfield’s much-missed Daisy Midgeley.

During a recent interview at a cast meet-and-greet event in Manchester, the 58-year-old actress gushed about her time working alongside Charlotte and affectionately referred to her as “a total delight” on and off set. “I absolutely love her to bits,” Sue said with a grin. “She’s a spark plug. Funny, quick, so warm — and blooming gorgeous to boot.”

But it was Sue’s next comment that got fans talking. “Next time I see her, I’m demanding a big cuddle,” she laughed. “She owes me one. Or five!”

The spontaneous declaration quickly spread across fan forums and social media, with many praising Sue’s warmth and expressing hope that the pair would reunite — either in real life or, even better, back on-screen in Weatherfield. “We need Daisy and Debbie causing trouble together again!” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Bring them both back and give us the chaos we deserve!”

Sue’s admiration for Charlotte wasn’t limited to light-hearted remarks. She spoke openly about their strong chemistry on set and how their scenes often involved a lot of improvisation and shared creativity. “Some actors you just click with,” she explained. “With Charlotte, it was like jazz — bouncing off each other, taking risks, finding the funny beats, and making it real. That’s not easy to find.”

The pair last appeared together regularly on screen earlier this year, before Charlotte Jordan made a surprise departure from the soap in a storyline that left viewers stunned. After Daisy Midgeley was caught in a devastating love triangle and a shocking crime twist, the character made an emotional exit from the cobbles. The decision was reportedly a creative one, allowing Jordan to pursue other acting opportunities — but her absence has been felt keenly by fans and cast alike.

Sue admitted she was heartbroken to see her co-star go. “I won’t lie — when she left, I cried. Genuinely,” she revealed. “We’d become really close during filming. You can’t fake that kind of friendship, and losing her from the dressing room was like losing a limb.”

When asked if the two still keep in touch, Sue smiled and nodded. “Oh yeah. We send each other daft voice notes. I sent her one last week singing badly to an 80s ballad. She sent me back a photo of her dog giving me side-eye.”

Their off-screen bond has apparently been growing since their first scenes together aired in 2021. Both actors have spoken previously about how they would often meet up outside of filming for a cuppa or a walk when the Manchester weather allowed. “It was important for us to build that rapport, especially since Debbie and Daisy are both such big personalities,” Sue said. “The audience can tell when the connection’s real.”

Charlotte Jordan has yet to comment publicly on Sue’s affectionate shout-out, but fans are hoping a reunion may be in the works. Rumours have been swirling that Daisy could make a dramatic return to Weatherfield in the next few months, and producers have neither confirmed nor denied the speculation.

One insider from the Coronation Street set told a tabloid, “There’s always a possibility with a character like Daisy. She didn’t die — she left with unfinished business. And Charlotte’s name still comes up in storyline meetings more often than you’d expect.”

Sue herself didn’t shy away from teasing the idea. “You never know what might happen,” she said coyly when asked if she’d be happy to work with Charlotte again. “If they bring her back, I’ll be the first to run into her arms. And yes, I’ll be getting my cuddle!”

Longtime fans of Coronation Street have seen Debbie Webster evolve dramatically over the years. First appearing in the 1980s as the teenage sister of Kevin Webster, Debbie made a sensational return in 2019, bringing a mix of ambition, sarcasm, and heart to the cobbles. Her on-screen relationship with Daisy was marked by sharp banter, the occasional heartfelt moment, and shared schemes that usually left other characters scrambling.

“I think Debbie and Daisy were like fire and fire,” Sue reflected. “Most people pair opposites, but with us, it was two cheeky, bold women navigating a man’s world — and loving it. We were a force.”

The mutual admiration between the actresses has only fuelled fan nostalgia. YouTube compilations of “Debbie & Daisy’s Best Bits” have seen a spike in views since Sue’s interview, and fan art featuring the two characters is once again popping up on Instagram and Tumblr. One viral post showed an imagined scene of the duo opening a rival bar on Victoria Street, titled “Double D’s” — with a cheeky caption: “Coming 2026!”

While it’s unclear whether Charlotte Jordan will return to Corrie in the near future, Sue Devaney’s heart-on-sleeve confession has certainly reignited public interest in their on-screen magic. And it’s not the first time Sue has been outspoken about cast friendships. She previously expressed admiration for actors such as Sally Dynevor (Sally Metcalfe) and Antony Cotton (Sean Tully), calling the Corrie set “the best kind of family — weird, loud, and full of love.”

As for whether Sue would like to see a full Debbie-Daisy spin-off, her eyes lit up. “Oh, imagine the two of us running a B&B in Spain. She’d charm the guests, I’d poison them with my cooking,” she joked. “I’d do it in a heartbeat.”

For now, fans will have to content themselves with reruns and the hope that ITV bosses are listening to the noise. With plenty of support from viewers, a beloved dynamic duo, and now a very public cuddle request — the stage might just be set for a Corrie comeback of legendary proportions.

Sue’s parting words? “Charlotte, if you’re reading this, I love you dearly. Don’t make me chase you for that cuddle. But I will if I have to.”
