An emotional Sarah then heads to see her gran Charity Dingle at The Woolpack, declaring that Debbie has “gone”. More specifically, the elusive Dingle has emigrated to Australia after secretly marrying her current partner Chris.
In a subsequent scene, Charity asks: “So she’s actually there? In Australia? Now?”
Sarah replies: “Yeah, they got there this morning. They’d just landed when I rang. And there’s more – her and Chris got married three weeks ago.”
