Real life of Coronation Street's Bernie Winter actress Jane Hazlegrove - Emmerdale star wife, heartbreaking loss, forgotten role and doppelganger
It's only been four years since Bernie Winter arrived in Weatherfield, but it's fair to say she's a favourite among Coronation Street fans. Jane Hazlegrove took on the role in 2019. At the time, the character was described as an 'old raver who still sees herself as a free spirit'.
There were emotional scenes when Paul tearfully confessed he was dying to his sister and his mum after his unusually quiet and resistive behaviour caught their attention. The news has spread to more of his loved ones and the rest of the street as they rally round round to support him. She then shared how her emotions had also been heightened as her own dad died, adding to the publication: "I lost my dad recently, so I know what this kind of grief is like. It has been very emotional."
In the 1990s she starred in the ITV detective thriller Cracker alongside the late Robbie Coltrane, and has also appeared in the likes of The Ruth Rendle Mysteries, The Bill and like her wife, Casualty too. One of her latest roles however is on the Channel 5 drama Compulsion as Dr Wilhemina Medlock and this year she appeared in radio drama The Archers as Anna Tregorran.
She added: "The arrogance of youth - I wasn’t nervous at all then. Now I’m a woman in my 50s, it was really frightening because it’s Coronation Street. It’s a big gig and I don’t want to let the show down and I don’t want to let myself down or the family or anything."
