On Christina, played by Amy, she said: “The Lucy storyline is still ongoing and will feature a big climax in the New Year.

“Obviously Glenda is George’s sister so we’ll be exploring that dynamic too.
But there’s a lot more twists and turns with the Lucy stuff. “We’ve got some really special stuff coming up for Debbie over the period.

The troubled teen, played by Anya Dewin, was fostered by Sally. It was revealed earlier this year that Lucy was responsible for her mum’s death.
