Wasn’t the drawer that Bernie rooted through the same one that Christopher Green took the elephant out off!

Bernie actress Jane Hazelgrove was in Casualty for a long time years ago. A good actress

opposites attract re Berie and Dev characters

Calendargirl Tue 14-May-24 08:30:57

Opposites attract?

Sorry, not in a million years would vain, snobby Dev fancy rough-and-ready Bernie, who speaks about ‘going for a wass’. Would he really take her with him to golf or business type events? hmm

Anyway, he has a poor track record with absent children. What about his daughter who turned up a few years ago, then they had a fallout or similar, only to disappear again?

I fell asleep for last 10 mins. Can somebody please explain about the elephant? Thanks

Charleygirl5 Tue 14-May-24 08:49:56

The elephant was a trinket given to Bernie's child by Bernie when he was adopted. That young man did not admit he was adopted but he obviously was.

It is a tad far stretched he knows Lauren but sorry, I forgot it is Corrie.

Nothing about Dev rings true. Someone with his 'seven corner shops' would be unlikely to live on Coronation Street and work in one of them. He would never have paired up with Bernie.

Apparently he has several children. Sunita left him for a while when she found out that he had children and grandchildren (?) but AFAIK the only one we've seen is Amber. She was mentioned recently, so I guess that will mean she'll be making an appearance some time soon.

Beechnut Tue 14-May-24 19:10:25

Amber will probably be married to Christopher Green 🤣

Doodledog Tue 14-May-24 21:04:57

Do you know - I thought the same thing, but thought it was too bonkers even for Soapland 😂

I thought Dev had lost his empire some years ago, and had just the one shop. I watched a few episodes of Classic Coronation Street and he mentioned his seven shops a few times, but no mention recently - wasn't there some kind of crisis (surely not!) and he had to lose them?

Doodledog Wed 15-May-24 15:24:29

Ah, possibly. As regulars to this thread know, I watch with half an eye on other things, and have the sort of memory that knows things like the name of Dev's long lost daughter but not what happened last week 😂

Calendargirl Wed 15-May-24 17:27:13

Yes, he did lose his ‘empire’, but somehow has the kebab shop where Chesney works, and didn’t he also have some place where Jason (Amy’s ex, son of Damon) worked?

Was it the chip shop?

Bernie used to work in the kebab shop, but never hear of that now. Does Ches run it single handed, in between quad minding and school runs?

Thanks. I thought it was very unlikely that there are so few men called Christopher Green in the Manchester area. Common enough name.

How is he going to find Bernie if he wants to?

Calendargirl Wed 15-May-24 21:30:35

Do Bethany and Daniel ever do any work?

And does Daniel ever have charge of Bertie? He is rarely around whilst they sit on the sofa or have a drink in the Rovers.

What did Nathan do to Shona? Can’t recall anything about that.

vegansrock Fri 17-May-24 06:49:53

Shona was groomed by Nathan before Bethany. She was the one who helped Bethany get away and convict Nathan. ( I think)

vegansrock Fri 17-May-24 12:24:19

How come Adam left Bethany alone in the office so she could rifle through the files?

Because in Corrieland that’s the norm. 😉 No client confidentiality, discussions with clients in the pub, get an appointment with solicitor same day etc etc

Primrose53 Fri 17-May-24 20:53:22

Missed bits. How did Christopher Green find Bernie?

vegansrock Fri 17-May-24 21:57:45

The scriptwriters must have had fun writing Steve’s soirée with Sally, Tim and Demi.

Charleygirl5 Fri 17-May-24 22:12:44

Primrose I was wondering that also.

BlueBelle Sun 19-May-24 10:13:41

How long has Bernie had a car? Didn’t know she could drive.
