Emmerdale spoilers! Debbie Dingle is released on bail but IS facing a prison term

Emmerdale

Debbie Dingle is released on bail but is told she could receive a sentence for her part in the acid attack on Ross Barton

Having been arrested in connection with the acid attack on Ross Barton, Debbie Dingle is relieved to be released on bail. The devoted mother has been longing to be with her family.

But Debbie's part in the attack, which saw her pay drug dealer Simon to attack Joe Tate, is a serious one. Though it was Simon who bungled the 'job' and harmed the wrong guy in Ross (Mike Parr), and decided to use acid on his target rather than a few punches, Debbie (Charley Webb) ordered the hit.
