Coronation Street viewers are buzzing with a new theory suggesting that Bernie Winter might have another secret child already living in Weatherfield.
Portrayed by Jane Hazlegrove, Bernie joined the show in 2019 as the long-lost mother of Gemma and Paul. Since then, she’s become a staple on the cobbles, involved in various emotional and dramatic plotlines.
One of the most heart-wrenching was in 2023 when her son Paul was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. His devastating journey came to an end in September 2024, with Bernie staying by his side until his passing.
Adding another emotional twist, Bernie was stunned when her estranged son Kit Green (played by Jacob Roberts) turned up in Weatherfield last year.
Back in 1993, Bernie gave birth to Kit—originally named Zodiac—but made the heartbreaking deci
Two years after his birth, Bernie found out that Kit had been adopted by the Green family. Since then, Kit has settled into life in Weatherfield, quickly making his presence known.
His time on the cobbles has been packed with drama—from romantic relationships with Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) and Sarah (Tina O’Brien) to getting caught up in several local scandals, his story has kept viewers hooked, reports Leicestershire Live.
Despite their ups and downs, this week Kit opened up to Bernie about his past, confessing that his old friend Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton) was blackmailing him over a shop incident.
Meanwhile, a fan theory gaining traction among Coronation Street viewers suggests Bernie might have yet another secret child—and fans believe they may have figured out who it is.
On a popular Coronation Street Facebook group, discussions heated up, with one fan writing: “I just have a feeling it’s going to come out Bernie has another kid…”
Another fan chimed in, wondering about Shona’s background: “Shona? We don’t really know much about her family or upbringing, if I’m right.”
This sparked concern from someone else who added: “Wait, if it’s Shona, wouldn’t that mean Kit slept with his half-sister? Oh no…”
Some viewers compared the storyline to another well-known soap, with one commenting: “Probably! It’s turning into Emmerdale!” Meanwhile, others are excited by the possible drama, with one fan saying: “I’d love for this to happen just to see their faces!”
