On this week’s episode of the podcast, we take a look at the character of Bernie Winter-Alahan, the crystal-crazy crackpot who’s been living it large on the Street for the past seven years! Starting out as one of Corrie’s most terribly neglectful mothers, Bernie has grown into a brilliantly well-rounded character, supporting her family through money woes, maladies and marital dramas - all brought to life by the wonderfully charismatic Jane Hazlegrove. Whether she’s selling Gemma’s used pregnancy tests online, blasting her son’s ashes into space or coming face to face with her doppelgänger Fern, it’s often impossible to predict exactly what Bernie is going to do next - and we love her for it!
