Dev and Bernie’s relationship will be tested (Credit: ITV) Coronation Street boss teases huge ‘test’ for Dev and Bernie’s marriage Coronation Street boss Kate Brooks recent told the press that Dev and Bernie’s marriage will suffer a huge ‘test’ as a result of Bernie’s grief journey and Mal’s appearance. But, will they split? Well, it looks like Dev and Bernie might just be strong enough to hold on and get through this tough time together. She teased: “We take Bernie on a really interesting journey as she struggles. It gets to the point where, because it’s been bubbling for such a long time, it eventually erupts. When it does, there are consequences for Bernie. It’s not as straightforward as Dev sweeping in and making sure that everything’s okay. It’s a really muddy, murky story that we take her on. I think it just again explores another side of Bernie that we’ve not seen yet.” She added: “Obviously it’s going to be a test for Bernie and Dev, but it’s a test that they are a really strong couple, and no matter what we throw at them, they can overcome because they love each other. “They absolutely adore each other. It’s a big story for Bernie, and certainly Roy’s embroiled in that story as well. It’s a really interesting one to keep an eye on, because it’s going to be quite a big start of the year for Bernie.” What else happened in Coronation Street tonight?
