Debbie has been off-screen for over a year while actress Charley took some time out to give birth to her second son, Bowie.
Speaking to Express.co.uk at an Emmerdale press event, the 28-year-old said she believed her character is better off without a man.
Charley explained: "It's that whole thing of having to build up another relationship and chemistry and I think it's really difficult to put her with anyone.
"They [the writers] have to match her ridiculousness and I think its really hard to, that's why her and Pete [Barton] didn't work out in the end because they were totally different.

She works pretty well by herself
"It was never gonna work and she'll always go back to people like Ross [Barton]."
Debbie made a swift exit from the village on New Years Day 2016 after discovering her beau Ross Barton (played by Michael Parr) had shot Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley).
The fan favourite had previously been set to marry Pete (Anthony Quinlan), but craving excitement, had an affair with his wayward brother.

Before Ross and Pete, Debbie famously fell for murderer Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) who at one point tried to drown her.
Charley argued that given the mother-of-two's history, she should stay well clear of trouble.
She added: "I'm quite happy for her not to be in a relationship. I think she works pretty well by herself."
Emmerdale continues tonight at 7pm on ITV.
