Coronation Street's Bernie Winter, played by Jane Hazlegrove, has been a fan favourite since her arrival on the cobbles in 2019. Known for being the mother of twins Gemma Winter and Paul Foreman, Bernie has faced numerous challenges during her time on the soap, from dealing with dodgy mates to grappling with her son Paul's devastating Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis.
Bernie's love life has also been a rollercoaster ride with a string of failed romances having dominated her time on the show. Early on, viewers learned that the twins' father was out of the picture and that Kel Hinchley, Bernie's former flame, had sexually abused Paul during his teenage years.
Recently, however, it seems Bernie may have found her perfect match in corner shop owner Dev Alahan - as despite their relationship's ups and downs, Dev has stood by Bernie through various harebrained schemes. However, that romance was once again tested in recent days, following the return of the twins' father Denny, after he heard Paul give an interview about his terminal diagnosis on the radio.
Reaching out to Bernie, the worried mum initially tried to fob Denny off by telling him Paul had already died, but clearly knowing this was a lie, Denny persisted and was able to make contact with Paul - with catastrophic results. Keen to give him a taste of a 'normal' life, Denny got drunk with Paul, leading him to inhale some of his own vomit and be rushed to hospital.
To make matters worse, while Paul was recovering in hospital, Denny attempted to steal and sell Paul's wheelchair, not to mention threatening to out a 'huge secret' about Bernie's past to her loved ones - something which could well place an added strain on her relationship.
