Coronation Street's Winter-Brown family are currently involved in the Bernie lookalike storyline, but actress Jane Hazlegrove has teased that there will be another plot for the clan over Christmas.

Speaking to TV Times magazine, Hazlegrove said: "There will continue to be financial worries for the Winter-Browns, especially with Christmas coming up.

"And although I don't know what the writers have planned for Bernie and Dev, I'd like to think they can go the distance, because I have a ball working with Jimmi Harkishin."

"Times are tough, especially for the Winter-Browns," she added. "There are a lot of pennies to find to keep that house warm and those babies fed. And what I love about Bernie is that in the flick of a coin, she's going down a road she shouldn't have gone down, and embracing it in all of her tie-dye."

The actress also talked about how she'd love the soap to introduce Gemma and Paul's dad, which would throw a wrench into her on-off relationship with Dev.

"I'd love to know who he was," she said. "I like to think she met him at Glastonbury. He could be anyone!"
