Bernie left devastated in Coronation Street after cancer results

It’s been a tough year for Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) on  Coronation Street.

Not only did she lose herself to grief after the tragic death of her late son’s partner Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank), but her subsequent spiralling led to her being stalked by the obsessive Mal Roper, which put serious cracks in her marriage to Dev Alahan (Jimi Harkashin).

Just as things seemed to be calming down, the Winter household was rocked by the discovery that her family carries the BRCA gene associated with breast cancer.

Bernie was not only deeply concerned for herself, but for her children Kit Green (Jacob Roberts),Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell), and her teenage tearaway grandson Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey).

Unfortunately,  Kit was unlucky, and Bernie was devastated to learn that her son has stage three breast cancer.

This is not the first time that Bernie has faced losing a child.

She previously suffered the devastating loss when her son Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) tragically died after a long battle with Motor Neurone Disease.

Although terrified at the thought of losing another son,Bernie is supporting Kit through his treatment as best she can. This includes tenderemotional hospital scenes at the hospital where they reminisce about his childhood, as well as complimenting him on his freshly shaven head as he prepares for chemotherapy.

However, bad news is set to strike the Winter household yet again, in upcoming news of Coronation Street, when Bernie gets some upsetting news.

Bernie receives a letter from the hospital confirming that she carries the BRCA gene.

Covering her upset, she hurries upstairs. Dev and Kit watch her with concern.

Will they discover the truth? Or willBernie tell them herself?

Actress Jane Hazlegrove, who plays Bernie, has previously told Metro that her character would consider a double mastectomy if there was no other choice.

‘She has some massive decisions to make. For a woman pushing 60, deciding to lose her breasts is huge, especially because she and Dev are such a physical couple.’

‘But she has about a 70% chance of developing breast cancer, and she wants to be around for her grandkids and the quads. She’s determined to stick around.’

‘ She’s not sure what the psychological effects of the surgery will be, but she has to make a decision and she says “I’m still going to be me.’ It’s going to be a long road, but she’s not going anywhere.’
