Coronation Street Bernie Winter’s other secret child ‘revealed’ in shock Platt DNA twist
Coronation Street fans are certain Bernie Winter has another secret child – and they are already on the famous street.
Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) made her debut on the soap back in 2019, rocking up as Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell) and Paul’s (Peter Ash) estranged mum. And it didn’t take her long to become a firm favourite with fans.
She’s also had her fair share of big storylines over the years. In 2023, Paul was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Sadly, in September 2024, he died with Bernie by his side in heartbreaking scenes.
What’s more, Bernie was also left shocked when her long-lost son Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) turned up last year. Bernie gave up Kit – whom she named Zodiac – for adoption 1993.
She was unable to cope with raising newborn Kit along with her then two-year-old twins Paul and Gemma. Two years later she found out that Kit had been adopted by the Green family.
Kit has since settled into Weatherfield, and it’s fair to say he’s made his mark. From romances with the likes of Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) and now Sarah (Tina O’Brien), to covering up plenty of dodgy crimes in the area, Kit’s time on the cobbles has not been short of drama.
And while his relationship with Bernie has been fraught, this week Kit opened up to her about his past, revealing his former pal Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton) was blackmailing him over an incident at a shop from their youth.
But now, in what would be a major twist fans have ‘worked out’ that Bernie has another secret child – and viewers ‘know’ who it is.
On a Coronation Street Facebook fan page, one person said: “I just have a feeling it’s going to come out Bernie has another kid…”
Someone else chimed in and suggested Shona: “Shona? We don’t know much about her family or upbringing if I’m correct.” A third pointed out: “Wait, if it was Shona wouldn’t that mean Kit slept with his half-sister? Oh no…”
Referring to Corrie’s rival soap, another declared: “Probably! It’s turning into Emmerdale!” A fifth also backed the theory: “I’d love for this to happen just to see their faces!”
