It's fair to say Coronation Street fans were left quite distracted as Debbie Webster and Ryan Connor kickstarted their money-making plans. As viewers of the ITV soap know, the Bistro owner is suffering money troubles and has been hosting themed nights at the restaurant to try and encourage more custom.
But her need for money fast after Ed Bailey suffered a shock while working at one of her hotels has led to her and Ryan teaming up to try and pull off insurance fraud. After raking in the cash during 'Casino Night' during Monday night's trip to the cobbles (August 1), Debbie instructed the DJ to fake a break-in so that she could make a claim on the insurance.
But getting last minute-jitters about the scam, Debbie told Ryan the robbery was off and he wasn't impressed. So with Casino Night underway, Ryan told Debbie that he was going to fuse the electrics and grab the cash from the safe. Suddenly the bistro was plunged into darkness and Debbie reluctantly helped with Ryan’s plan.
