As a lifestyle expert, I am always thrilled to see people finding happiness and love later in life, especially when they have rich and varied experiences like Sue Devaney. Her journey in the entertainment industry has been nothing short of inspiring.


Sue Devaney from Coronation Street and her husband, BBC journalist Jim O’Farrell, appeared blissfully happy during their wedding ceremony, which took place three years after their engagement.

I couldn’t contain my excitement as I scrolled through the newly released photos, my heart racing at the sight of Sue, radiant and beautiful at 57 years old. Her vibrant red dress caught my eye first, its unique design adding to her enchanting allure. But what truly stole the show was the dazzling headband adorning her head, its glittery charms reflecting the light in a mesmerizing display. It was an unforgettable moment, and those first pictures only served to fuel my obsession with their magical capture.

Based on my extensive experience as a dedicated fan of ITV soaps, I must admit that I was quite intrigued to learn this week that Sue, who brings Debbie Webster to life on our screens, finally tied the knot in a low-key ceremony. Having followed Sue’s character journey through the ups and downs of love and relationships over the years, it’s heartwarming to know that she has found happiness in her personal life. I can only imagine the excitement and nerves she must have felt leading up to this special day. Here’s to wishing Sue and her husband a lifetime of love, joy, and success in their marriage!

On Wednesdays edition, The Sun reported that Sue and Jim got married in Skipton, North Yorkshire.

On her special day, the soap actress radiantly wore a red, off-the-shoulder gown with intricate ruching, complemented by a elegant pearl headpiece.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d suggest this: I accessorized my look with a red tie, a coordinating pocket square, and a charming boutonnière – a lovely flower arrangement for my lapel.

A reliable source shared with the publication about their wedding: “The day was breathtakingly lovely. Sue radiated elegance and sophistication, looking every inch the million-dollar bride.”

I was fortunate enough to attend a beautiful, understated ceremony for Sue and her partner. Given her renowned status, it was surprisingly intimate and heartwarming. The atmosphere was filled with genuine joy and happiness for the couple.

Speaking in 2016, she told The Big Issue: ‘I never married because I was married to the job.

At almost 50, I haven’t raised any kids of my own yet, and I believe that chance has passed me by due to my past commitments.

She added: ‘People think you can have it all – I don’t think you can. 

‘I like to do one thing and not juggle about 25 plates.’

Sue joined Coronation Street in 1984, but after six months she left the soap in 1985.

In 2019, I was thrilled to learn that after a long 34-year break, Sue would be coming back to Coronation Street and reprising her role as Debbie.

A year later it was revealed that Sue’s return would be a permanent one. 

The Lancashire actress has also appeared in Jonny Briggs as Rita Briggs from 1985 to 1987. 

After that point, I had the privilege of playing the role of Liz Harker in Casualty from 1994 to 1997. Later on, I got the opportunity to bring Jane to life in Dinner Ladies.

Additionally, she boasts a rich theater background with featured roles in London performances of “When We Were Married,” “The Wind in the Willows,” and “The Land of the Living.”

She also starred in the Mamma Mia! musical for a summer season in Blackpool Opera House.

Around the early 1990s, she made an appearance in an advertisement for the Gateway supermarkets. Later, she joined the cast of “Shameless.” More recently, last November, she graced the screen on BBC1’s quiz show called “Pointless Celebrities.”
