I can partially help you - It was called South

SOUTH

Channel 4-Mersey / 2x25m-e / 1988

Writer: Frank Cottrell Boyce

Drama serial. A schools production that was actually a spin off from Brookside, it saw two of the young characters from the show striking out on their own.

Jamie.................................................. SEAN McKEE

Tracy.................................................. JUSTINE KERRIGAN

And I know Morrissey did a cameo on it.

It could have been Tracy's brother Rod played by Jason Hope ?

I loved the first one- think it was called Damon & Debbie. I remember crying buckets at then end when he died, If I remember correctly, wasn't she pregnant by him too?

I used to really really fancy Tracy.

The other one was called The Lost Weekend. Was it Barry Grant who went looking for her.

Hello Boo.
yes Debbie was pregnant
Sheila was at her lowest ebb the first Xmas that Damien died,Sheila was walking from the Grants to the Corkhills when she saw Debbie pushing a pram into the close, realizing it could be Damiens Debbie said "happy Xmas Mrs Grant".
a very moving episode.
