Profile

DS Debbie McAllister arrived at Sun Hill in 2000 following the aftermath of the Don Beech Scandal. A schemer who often took credit for the efforts of others, she dates Tom Chandler in an attempt to sleep her way to higher rank; falling pregnant with his baby, she eventually marries him. The efforts of DCI Jack Meadows and DC Mickey Webb to bring down Chandler for the rape of a young woman years before culminates with him holding a gun to Debbie as she goes into labour two months early, with Meadows in the room. Tom shoots himself and Debbie is rushed to hospital. She makes a choice not to keep her son Andrew, but eventually changes her mind.

She had clashed with DC Eva Sharpe on a number of occasions. The two rarely saw eye-to-eye but under both their tough exteriors lay two kindred spirits. When DI Neil Manson wanted to see the back of Eva, Eva blamed Debbie for her stupidity and the two had a vicious fight. They did, however, make up and Eva made Debbie promise not to stop being the "mixed up, self-centred mess" that Debbie was, just so long as Eva never lost her "stuck-up, 'I know better than anyone else' view of the world". The two shared a meaningful hug as Eva departed for pastures new.

Soon afterwards she begins a lesbian affair with fellow Sun Hill officer Juliet Becker. The two women initially bonded after working on a case together and became close after Juliet offered to console Debbie after she witnessed a person die in custody. Debbie tried to kiss Juliet in the Locker Room but Juliet pulled out and told Debbie she should take more time to consider if she wanted to start a relationship with a woman. Debbie managed to seduce Juliet in the toilets. The two women had sex after a party and soon after began a casual relationship. After Juliet's murder, Debbie began pursuing a relationship with Meadows. However, she finally decides to leave the force to look after her son, and strikes out on her own.

In 2021, actress Natalie Roles shared her memories of playing Debbie in a three part interview with The Bill Podcast.
