Coronation Street Fans Think Rosie and Sophie Webster Could Return to Take Over Debbie’s Hotel

Debbie Webster’s retirement has left Coronation Street viewers wondering who might take charge of the Chariot Square Hotel — and some fans are hoping two familiar faces will come back to Weatherfield. Sue Devaney’s character has owned the hotel since 2021. In recent episodes, Debbie told her husband, Ronnie Bailey, that she had signed the business over to him. She also suggested that Ryan Connor could become Ronnie’s right-hand man. But viewers have been speculating that Debbie’s nieces Rosie and Sophie Webster could be in line to take over instead. Fans shared their ideas on a Coronation Street Facebook page, with one suggesting the hotel should be left to the pair. Others said they would like to see Rosie and Sophie return to the soap. The possible change of ownership comes after a difficult period for Debbie. The character was diagnosed with dementia and pleaded guilty to causing Billy Mayhew’s death, resulting in time behind bars. She also recently revealed that Carl Webster, whom she had regarded as her brother, is actually her biological son. Rosie and Sophie grew up on the cobbles as Sally and Kevin’s daughters and were part of major storylines during their time on the show. Rosie was last seen in Weatherfield in 2018, while Sophie’s most recent appearance was in 2019. Their return remains fan speculation, rather than a confirmed storyline. For now, Debbie’s decision to hand the hotel to Ronnie and bring Ryan into the business is what viewers have seen on screen — but the online calls for the Webster sisters to return show that some fans would welcome another twist in the hotel’s future.
