When Bernie Winter from Coronation Street’s doppelganger Fern sets her up to be held accountable for a crime she didn’t commit, her life is about to be turned upside down.
Legendary Bernie (Jane Hazelgrove) of Coronation Street received the shock of her life when Fern (Gabrielle Glaister) barged into her life and accused her of stealing her coat. Since then, the two have developed a strange friendship that has led Bernie to relapse into her life of crime and, in some instances, to impersonate Fern. Their antics, though, are about to come to an end when Bernie is duped by Fern and left to pay the price.
According to confirmed spoilers, Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) starts browsing Bernie’s record collection.
Soon after, he notices a white-label promotional disc and becomes excited, telling Bernie that she might be in possession of a valuable item.
While Fern attends an interview with an upscale cleaning company under the guise of Bernie, Bernie and Fern are once again up to their tricks elsewhere.
When Fern arrived for her cleaning shift at the jewelry store, the company made her an immediate job offer after being pleased with her interview.
When Fern’s shift is over, the owner assumes she is Bernie and sends Fern to lock up the store by herself before Walters (NAME) leaves for lunch.
Fern robs the store blind because she can’t help herself and knows she will get away with it because she is dressed as Bernie.
As she leaves the back of the store, she takes off her Bernie outfit because she knows she will get away with it.
Bernie is informed that she is being arrested on suspicion of theft as Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) and she return to No. 5 by a police officer.
When the police officer shows Bernie the CCTV footage of her robbing the jewelers at the police station, Bernie quickly realizes that Fern has been framing her.
Bernie defends herself by sticking to her story and attempting to persuade the officer that Fern stole her clothes and took the cleaning job in her name before robbing the jewelers.
Will Bernie be successful in persuading Dev, Dev’s family, and the police that she is telling the truth?
Bernie gives Fern’s number to the police in an effort to clear her name, but is disappointed when she says they were unable to get in touch with her.
In the event that more information is obtained, their investigation will continue, but will Bernie be punished for something she didn’t do?
Bernie’s family started to worry that she was working too hard and would revert to her old behavior under the strain.
Her family has been struggling to make ends meet, especially with the children living there, so she has been desperate to find money elsewhere.
For a while, outsourcing the issue appeared to be a solution, but now that Fern has taken the plan too far, Bernie is in more trouble than ever.
Will her family go looking for Fern to rescue Bernie if they come to believe the truth?
Has she permanently ruined her chances of getting Dev?
Given that Bernie is the only person to have seen and interacted with Fern, Bernie’s family has been skeptical about whether Fern is a real person or someone that she has been imagining.
Has Bernie been seeing Fern in his head all along? If so, she might be going through a serious health crisis.
