There was an unexpected twist involving Bernie Winter on Coronation Street on Tuesday.
After being terrorised by newcomer Mal Roper recently, she was horrified at the start of the week by a scary discovery. She’d gone home after a run-in with Mal to find her face had been cut out of her wedding photo.
She confronted Mal over this on Tuesday, making it clear she suspected him. She warned him to stay away from her, concerned for her safety after he locked her in the café.
His increasing infatuation with Bernie, who has rejected him, has led to sinister scenes. But as he denied being the one who broke into her home and destroyed the photograph, Bernie was unconvinced.

Fans soon learned the shocking truth though as the real culprit and the person really targeting Bernie was exposed onscreen. Towards the end of the episode, we saw Jodie opening her mystery trinket box.
The box contains several random items, incluidng a lighter, a bracelet and a locket. As she opened it, she was holding the cutout face of Bernie, and she placed it into the box.
So Jodie entered the home and destroyed the photo, not Mal. This confirms that Jodie is targeting Bernie too, clearly on some sort of revenge mission after their run-in at the café earlier in the week.
So does Bernie need to watch her back, and how far will Jodie go to get back at her? It comes as Bernie faces trouble this week, when someone attacks Mal.
He’s found seriously injured and Bernie, having threatened to kill him, is arrested amd taken to the police station for questioning. Bernie prostests her innocence, adamant that she did not harm Mal.
When it becomes apparent that someone overheard her threatening Mal, she’s forced to defend herself. Teasing the scenes ahead, actress Jane Hazlegrove said: “It’s not a good look because she’s been heard threatening him.
“She is definitely going to be under suspicion so in the end telling Dev has not made it go away. If anything, things have got worse.” Asked whether the plot and the attack on Mal will have far-reaching consequences for Bernie and her family, Jane confessed that it’s not looking good.
She spilled: “Definitely, she knows she’s messed up. If she had told the full truth from the start they might not have got to this place but here they are and it is down to her.”
