The two had an on and off relationship with their status unclear as Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) denied his feelings to Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) twice already. The latest was when the reporter who covered for Joseph’s (William Flanagan) disappearance story mistakenly identified Dev as Bernie’s partner, to which Dev was quick to make the fact straight despite having shared a kiss with Bernie earlier.
However, in scenes next Monday (January 24), Dev will make it up to his fling by offering Bernie an invitation to have both of their families share dinner at Speed Daal where they’ll make their relationship official in front of everybody, an offer to which Bernie can’t refuse. Will everybody accept their announcement positively?
‘Coronation Street’ – The Truth Will Come To Light
Everything will be smooth-sailing to Bernie until Dev announces they’re officially a couple for it will open doors to more troubles. First, her son-in-law, Chesney (Sam Aston) will question how can she afford such an expensive meal, and second, Fiz Stape (Jenny McAlpine) will discover Hope’s (Isabella Flanagan) secret stash of sweets and questions where she got them from.
Previously, Bernie discovered that her friend Clint Stubbins (Fergus O’Donnell) bribed Hope and Joseph to remain quiet so he could claim the £30,000 reward money. Although Bernie can report Clint to the police, she joined him in his game by threatening him to give her half of the money or else he’ll end up in prison.
In upcoming episodes, Bernie will have a word with Hope, instructing the child not to stay close with Joseph and to keep her mouth shut about her business with Clint.
Although she’s burdened about keeping secrets from her beau, Bernie will later give Joseph the video game he’s always wanted, but Evelyn’s (Maureen Lipman) keen eyes spot it, which leads her into thinking the boy might’ve stolen it.
Dev’s loyalty to Bernie is sooner tested when Evelyn calls the police after Bernie vehemently denied her involvement with Joseph’s disappearance, which makes her more suspicious.
Bernie’s happy moment is soon over when the police haul her and Chesney to question them for Joseph’s disappearance, which will see her confess the truth in tears.
Will Dev come to her rescue? Or will it be the last for Bernie to hear about her new lover?
