When the teaser for Season 2 of Puberty Blues was released, a lot of people assumed the storyline would revolve around Debbie’s pregnancy. However, it wasn’t the case. The character was never announced as pregnant. Similarly, the Debbie actress, Ashleigh Cummings (@ashleigh_cummings), didn’t give birth to a child after.
Many people criticized the production house for not giving any clarification to Debbie’s weight gain appearance. One disappointed fan wrote,
Please! I noticed Ashleigh Cummings’ weight gain in the series 2 teaser! I actually thought that the producers made a pregnancy storyline for Debbie because of the weight gain! I feel that they just tackled the Cheryl being pregnant storyline really quickly. It was just brushed over.
If you compare her appearance in Season 1 and Season 2 of Puberty Blues, the character seriously looked as if she was pregnant. However, it was not the case. On the other hand, Ashleigh Cummings is in a perfectly slimmer shape now.
