Coronation Street favourite rushed to hospital during cast-packed wedding
Even before this calamitous end to the very glam and colourful ceremony, there are shenanigans aplenty.
The week starts with the stag and hen parties. Having saved money buying cheap suits for Dev and Aadi, Bernie is having a low key hen do in the bistro when word reaches them that the boys have hired a pole dancer at the Rovers.
A furious Bernie storms into the Rovers to find the stags cheering on the pole dancer, but is all as it seems?
As the big day dawns on Wednesday (August 6th), Dev and Bernie's dream wedding goes from bad to worse when the quads fall ill and have to watch with Joseph on live stream.
Meanwhile, Bernie forgets her lucky charm locket containing the photo of Paul and when she runs home to get it she disturbs a burglar.

Back at the Bistro, the guests are entertained by a song from Debbie Webster who suddenly surprises Ronnie with a proposal. If Dev and Bernie's wedding falls apart, at least we might have another to look forward to.
After such an eventful start to the day the guests take their seats for the main event and a glowing Bernie walks down the aisle towards Dev to make their vows.
With the service about to start, Dev and Bernie share loving looks, but suddenly Bernie struggles to breathe and collapses in front of a shocked Dev. Is the dramatic day about to end in tragedy or will Bernie and Dev tie the knot?
'The day goes from bad to worse!' actress Jane exclaimed. 'That's what is so brilliant about Coronation Street, you don't know what you're going to get until you open the page of the script and that's what is so fantastic about how it plays out – we've got this woman raving down the aisle and the next minute she's collapsed and an ambulance is on its way!'

Jane also revealed that she had a hand in the design of Bernie's unconventional wedding dress.
She added: 'I knew that Bernie wouldn't go down the road of wearing a traditional dress. I had seen some old footage of Elkie Brookes on TV and she was wearing a kaftan.
'I am a big fan of Elkie so that was the initial inspiration, but this is for Bernie so it needed to be a bit extra.

His death occurs soon after they move into the new home he designed for them and their teenage daughter Charlotte (Isabella Pappas), but while navigating her grief, Alice must contend with uncovering 'a string of sinister secrets he kept hidden from her'. At the same time Alice has to deal with her late husband's parents –Minnie (Gemma Jones) and Gerry (Kenneth Cranham), who keep turning up uninvited to their home for unexplained reasons. Meanwhile Alice's own parents Roger (Nigel Havers) and Sarah (Joanna Lumley) only add to her problems, which also include suspicious police officers, unexpected visitors and the realisation that business debt wasn't the only secret Harry had been keeping.

Although the response to the show from critics and viewers was mixed, it did have many fans. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'I simply cannot convey to you the delight of seeing this beautiful piece of order suddenly arising out of the chaos of the past year,' The Guardian wrote in its review. 'Finding Alice strikes the right balance between drama and comedy, sadness and laughter, with a fine performance by Keeley Hawes at its centre,' Decider wrote. 'Good gripping stuff heightened by Hawe's unique characterisation,' WhatSheSaid added. Although some said it was a 'slow burn' and 'farfetched', others said it was 'original', 'moving' and 'a real treat'. This week the six-part series was added to Netflix, where its quickly shot up the charts and is now the fourth most watched show on the streaming platform in the UK. Speaking to the BBC at the time of the show's release, creator Roger Goldby spoke about its exploration of grief. 'Death in its instance is very traumatic and horrendous but it's the legacy of the grief that comes after that we're all touched by at some point in our lives to varying degrees,' he said about the idea for Finding Alice. 'It can be destabilising, catastrophic, shocking and all-encompassing when the rest of the world is carrying on around you. It's negotiating your way through that journey that interested me rather than the death itself. More Trending 'And one of the most important things was to be authentic, real and truthful and treat it with respect. It's not a documentary, but we wanted to be very honest.' Finding Alice was a massive hit for ITV when it aired, drawing in around 7 million viewers each episode. Although it was renewed for a second season, it was eventually canned due to scheduling conflicts. View More » Finding Alice is streaming on ITVX and Netflix. Got a story?

Trump speaks out in defence of Sydney Sweeney amid voting controversy
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video President Donald Trump has thrown his support behind Sydney Sweeney after the knowledge that she was a registered Republican sparked outrage among fans. The Euphoria actress. 27, sparked controversy when an American Eagle ad campaign featuring the star was launched with the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' The pun on the word 'genes' sparked considerable backlash from the public, who compared it to rhetoric surrounding eugenics and white supremacy. In the advertisements, the Immaculate star says: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.' After this, multiple news outlets in the US reported that Sweeney's voting records show her being a registered Republican, though she has not spoken out about this. President Trump has weighed in, saying 'Now I love her ad' after being told the news. 'You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans,' he added. American Eagle has defended the campaign, writing in a statement: 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. 'We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. 'Great jeans look good on everyone.' The wording has been condemned by many, with people taking to social media to say 'it was never about the jeans.' 'It's giving 'I'm sorry you feel that way',' Moniquebutmo wrote on Instagram in response to American Eagle's statement. 'yup. it's about 'jeans'. after saying jeans 'determine traits like hair color, personality and even eye color',' Luisaleaao pointed out, quoting wording used in the campaign. 'So now 'jeans' are passed down from parents to offspring? 🥴 Let's be fr it was never about jeans,' Mai_ktran added. Others said this 'showed them where not to shop' while deeming the explanation 'laughable.' 'It doesn't matter what your intent was—what matters is the impact. intent ≠ impact,' Gabby Frost explained. Others said they were 'baffled' that an important part of the campaign was not receiving as much publicity as the backlash. American Eagle is launching The Sydney Jean, a limited-run product with 100 percent of the proceeds being donated to Crisis Text Line, a non-profit organisation offering mental health support. 'Apparently the weird fashy American Eagle Sydney Sweeney good jeans/genes campaign is donating some proceeds from jean sales to a charity for domestic violence survivors which is nice but also why didn't you lead with that. Just say that instead of making it a dog whistle good god,' Audrey wrote on X. 'I don't care about Sydney Sweeney and the 'good jeans' nonsense or whatever. I do think it's a very interesting choice though to be like 'Yeah that ad was supposed to be a message about domestic violence' 💀 right… whatever you say, man,' Hayden posted. PoeticSeraphim added: 'Making an ad that focuses on her body with creepy camera angles as a way to highlight a campaign for domestic abuse victims shows she has never spoken to a victim.' More Trending In 2022, Sweeney hit back at those criticising her for posting photos with family members wearing right-wing political clothing. 'An innocent celebration for my moms milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention (sic),' she wrote on Instagram. She added: 'Please stop making assumptions. Much love to everyone and Happy Birthday Mom!' Metro has contacted representatives for Sydney Sweeney for comment Got a story?
