'Emmerdale' Debbie has no doubts over baby plan, says Charley Webb

Emmerdale star Charley Webb has revealed more details of her character's 'saviour sibling' storyline, explaining that Debbie Dingle has "no doubt" she is making the best move for her young daughter Sarah.

As revealed earlier in the year, Debbie and Andy will soon start making plans to have another child together in a bid to save Sarah, who has been diagnosed with the rare genetic disorder Fanconi Anaemia and needs a bone marrow match.

Although Debbie and Andy (Kelvin Fletcher) are now both in serious relationships with Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) and Alicia Gallagher (Natalie Anderson) respectively, the storyline sees them forced to pretend they are a couple as they seek IVF treatment for Sarah's sake.

Webb told This Morning today: "They've got to pretend that they're still a couple and there's no doubt in [Debbie's] mind that she's going to do that. She'll do whatever it takes."

"There's so many twists and turns, and they face problem after problem after problem after problem with the IVF. There's loads more to come," she continued.



The actress also said that she is glad Emmerdale bosses are raising awareness of Fanconi Anaemia, noting that few people have heard of the disease.

She explained: "Personally, I think it's extremely important. The hits on the Fanconi Anaemia website have gone up by 30 times more. Fanconi Anaemia is so rare and there's no research for it. I didn't even know it existed before I started this storyline, so I've actually struggled to research it because there's not much about, which is difficult because it's horrendous."

Emmerdale continues tonight at 7pm on ITV1.
