Bernie Winter thought she and Dev Alahan were heading into marriage on the same page in Coronation Street. But now, just days before the big event, she finds herself questioning what Dev really wants, and whether this wedding is already off balance.
Hen Night Disappointment Turns Into Tension
Bernie organised a quiet hen do at the Bistro. She kept the budget low and invited a small group; Gemma, Nina, Shona, Mary, and Auntie Rani. But the evening didn’t go smoothly. Jane Hazlegrove, who plays Bernie, said her character found Rani difficult to deal with. Bernie felt talked down to, and it left her struggling to stay polite through the night.
That alone would’ve been enough to put her in a bad mood. But then Glenda arrived with news that changed everything; Dev’s stag do at the Rovers included pole dancers. Compared to Bernie’s modest night, the whole thing felt over-the-top and disrespectful. Hazlegrove explained that Bernie wasn’t happy at all when she heard what had gone on.
Coronation Street: Bernie Walks In and Doesn’t Hold Back
Instead of staying annoyed in private, Bernie headed straight to the Rovers to see for herself. According to Hazlegrove, Bernie didn’t just argue or drag Dev out. She joined in. She stepped into the party, and even gave pole dancing a go. Hazlegrove said filming the scenes was fun and added that Bernie wouldn’t be the only one who ended up dancing.
So while the moment starts with frustration, it turns into something much louder, flashier and potentially more embarrassing. Even though the scenes lean into comedy, the situation still raises questions about how Bernie and Dev see each other. The party might have ended in laughs, but it began with Bernie feeling ignored and disrespected.
A Wedding Built on Uneven Ground?
Bernie made a clear effort to keep her hen do thoughtful and affordable. Dev’s night looked more expensive and more showy. That difference matters to Bernie. Hazlegrove made it clear her character sees it as a bigger issue than just one party, it’s about whether they’re aligned as a couple.
Now that Auntie Rani is already causing problems and Bernie feeling overlooked, and this might not be the last argument before the wedding. And if Bernie continues to feel like Dev isn’t taking her seriously, that tension could follow them down the aisle.
