DRAMATIC: Coronation Street rocked as Bernie Winter rushed to hospital on wedding day

Bernie and Dev have a lavish wedding on Coronation Street

A wedding day is set to end in heartbreak on Coronation Street. The vows of in sickness and in health are really put to the test as Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) is set to say “I do” to her beloved Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin), but things go horribly wrong when she finds herself gasping for breath.

The pair have been an on-screen item since September last year – growing close after the death of Bernie’s son, Paul. But upcoming scenes on the ITV soap will see Dev and Bernie’s wedding day go from bad to worse when, first, the quads fall ill. They are too sick to make it to the wedding, so they have no option but to stay home with Chesney (Sam Aston) and Joseph Brown (William Flanagan) and watch the nuptials on a live stream. But what they see leaves them shaken rather than elated for the happy couple.

Bernie finds a burglar in her home

Just ahead of the ceremony starting, Bernie’s emotions run wild when she forgets her lucky charm locket that contains a photo of late son, Paul – and disaster strikes when she runs home to retrieve it only to find a burglar in her house.

Eventually, Bernie returns to the Bistro and walks down the aisle with Kit and as the service is about to start, the happy couple share loving looks. But then the wedding hangs in the balance as suddenly Bernie struggles to breathe and collapses in front of a shocked Dev.

As Bernie lies on the bistro floor, gasping for breath, Asha comes to her aid while Gemma calls an ambulance and Dev and the wedding guests watch helplessly. At No.5, Chesney notices the livestream has cut out just as an ambulance passes by.

Will they get to Bernie in time? At the bistro, the wedding guests survey the untouched buffet, wondering what to do, when suddenly Asha arrives and announces that Dev wants the family at the hospital.

Bernie actress Jane, 57, told the press: “The day goes from bad to worse! “That’s what is so brilliant about Coronation Street, you don’t know what you’re going to get until you open the page of the script and that’s what is so fantastic about how it plays out – we’ve got this woman raving down the aisle and the next minute she’s collapsed and an ambulance is on its way!”

Coronation Street airs this week on ITV1 and via ITVX on Monday at 8pm, Wednesday at 8pm, and Friday at 8pm.
