00:00 Coronation Street's Bernie Winter receives jail warning in court.
00:04 She could be torn apart from her son Paul.
00:06 Coronation Street's Bernie Winter is warned that she's facing a prison sentence next week.
00:12 Bernie receives the worrying news as she faces court for her recent involvement in criminal
00:16 activity.
00:18 In this week's episodes, Bernie is worried that her son Paul Foreman will struggle financially
00:23 as he faces an 11-week wait for a personal independence payment.
00:28 Paul was diagnosed with motor neuron disease earlier this year and gave up his job at the
00:32 builder's yard as he was no longer able to complete the physical jobs.
00:36 Bernie meets with her friend Big Garth and asks him to sell the rest of their stolen
00:40 goods at a knockdown price as she now needs money more quickly.
00:44 Big Garth follows these instructions, but a police officer soon spots him handing a
00:48 wad of cash to Bernie.
00:50 Bernie is then arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods.
00:55 Next week, Bernie confirms to Paul and her daughter Gemma Winter that she's due in court
00:59 after being charged with the crime.
01:02 After receiving advice from solicitor Joel Deering, Bernie decides to plead guilty.
01:07 Paul, Gemma, Dev Allahan and Billy Mayhew are all present in court as Bernie hears her
01:13 fate.
01:14 The judge takes a no-nonsense approach, pointing out that Bernie already has a criminal record
01:19 and will need to face a custodial sentence.
01:22 Paul speaks out to defend his mum, urging the judge to reconsider as he has MND and
01:27 needs Bernie around to provide support.
01:30 Coronation Street's producer Ian McLeod recently told us, "This Christmas, the catastrophe
01:35 arises from Bernie and her historical involvement with Shelley's slightly dubious online scamming.
01:41 It puts her in a massive amount of legal hot water, to the extent that there's every likelihood
01:46 that she's not going to be present for what will be Paul's last Christmas and the family
01:50 might not get to be together for one last festive moment."
