ITV Coronation Street character’s exit ‘sealed’ after devastating twist

Coronation Street's Bernie Winter could be saying goodbye to the cobbles sooner than we think, as a recent episode hinted at a heartbreaking exit. 

The character received some devastating news that suggested she might be leaving Weatherfield in the near future.

Bernie has been dealing with legal troubles and was shocked to learn she might have to serve time in prison. This news is particularly distressing given her son Paul Foreman's recent diagnosis of motor neurone disease. He's been told he only has six to 12 months to live.

With the possibility that this Christmas could be Paul's last, Bernie had hoped to spend it with him. However, she now faces the reality that she might be in prison during this precious time.

Her solicitor Joel warned her to prepare for a custodial sentence. Despite informing the judge about Paul's condition, it doesn't seem likely to affect the sentencing. 

With Christmas just around the corner, Bernie may have to leave Weatherfield and miss out on what could be Paul's last Christmas. She shared this sad news with Paul and her daughter Gemma Winter.

Joel hinted that her sentencing hearing would be in early December, where she'll find out the length of her sentence and might go straight to jail. Bernie was arrested for dealing with stolen goods to help her son Paul, needing the money for him.

Bernie wanted to plead not guilty, but due to photographic evidence from the police, she was advised to plead guilty instead, shocking her family. Because of Bernie's past, the judge said she would have to give a prison sentence, and the maximum time could be six months.

Bernie is played by actress Jane Hazlegrove, a favourite of Corrie fans since she joined the cobbles in 2019.

Meanwhile, Corrie has been hit with a bunch of Ofcom complaints after fans were left unimpressed with intimate Paul Foreman scenes amid his MND battle.

Paul and his new husband Billy have been going through a tough time lately, specifically surrounding their sex life.

With his condition getting worse, viewers have witnessed him become mostly wheelchair-bound and Billie has been having his own issues with erectile dysfunction.

Their intimate life appeared to be non-existent for a while but they started to get it back on track as they were seen semi-naked on the sofa last week and joked about their bedroom antics.

The scenes didn’t go down too well with viewers as Ofcom received 52 complaints after the episode aired.
