[edit] Character History
Debbie arrived as part of the Dean family and instantly fell for the charms of hard man Dan Hunter. Debbie started dating Dan as she often tried to loosen him up. Debbie started to work for Tony at ‘Gnosh’, but her heart had always been set on becoming a singer.
Debbie went on a reality show where she revealed that Dan lost his virginity to her. This left Dan angry, but eventually he forgave her. However, there was shock for Debbie when Dan was arrested for being a suspect as the serial killer of Hollyoaks, and she was also shocked that he slept with victim Roxy. Convinced that Dan was innocent, Debbie stuck by him and supported him as he was released.
However, things took another turning point for Debbie when Dan was arrested for the murder of Toby Mills (the real killer) and again became a suspect after his Dan's sister Ellie Hunter blamed him for the murder of her husband. This left Debbie devastated as she tried to come terms with Dan's arrest, while there was more bad news for Debbie as her family were struggling with debts and sister Steph had epilepsy, after almost becoming a victim of Toby Mills.
Debbie showed her loyalty to both her family and Dan, but was devastated when Dan was sent down for 18 years after Ellie testified against him. Still Debbie believed there was hope as she tried to change Ellie's mind but there was a blow for her, when Dan told her that their relationship was over. Confused and puzzled, Debbie turned to Darren Osborne and the pair slept together, but it only lasted a short while.
However, Debbie faced another shock when Ellie told the truth and Dan was released from prison. Dan wanted to be with Debbie, but after she confessed that she slept with Darren, Dan said that there would be no relationship between the pair. Dan started dating Debbie's sister Steph for a while, but that lasted a short time after Dan was still in love with Debbie. However, Debbie promised Steph that she would not date Dan as it would break Steph's heart.
Soon, Debbie's dream became true when she got a job offer to sing on a cruise ship. But after her parents separation, Debbie was unsure of whether to go or not. With Frankie, Jake, and Dan supporting her, Debbie decided to take the job but there was another setback when Dan died during his rally car driving victory.
After Dan's tragic death, Debbie collapsed in tears as she found an engagement ring Dan had been planning to give to her on Christmas Day. By new Years Eve, Debbie had decided not to wallow in grief and misery but to see more of the world and enjoy her life to the fullest -- or as much as she could without Dan by her side. Debbie stayed until the funeral and regretted that she and Dan never got together.
After some convincing from Dan's best mate Ben Davis, Debbie decided to take the job and start a fresh new life and to succeed with her dreams. Debbie briefly returned in 2005 for a double wedding in the family. She witnessed her mother Frankie marry Jack Osborne and brother Jake marry Becca Hayton.
She also returned in 2006 to re-open The Dog in the Pond after Sam Owen blew it up. She also had a job in the West End but lost her job when Steph became famous for her kiss and tell with Joe Jones.
