Coronation Street legend in tears as wedding day 'ruined' ahead of soap exit
Coronation Street legend Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) broke down in tears after his wedding to Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) took a dramatic turn on the latest episode of the ITV soap Dev Alahan was left in tears after his wedding day went awry on Wednesday night's episode of Coronation Street. The Weatherfield businessman was set to tie the knot with Bernie Winter on the latest instalment of the ITV soap. But things didn't exactly go to plan when the bride-to-be was late and then collapsed on the spot as they were about to say their vows, and that was just the beginning of their troubles. It was set to be a flamboyant day full of bright colours and costumes at the Street's token restaurant, but ambulance had to be called when Bernie struggled to breathe and she was quickly whisked off to hospital. It soon transpired that Bernie had had an allergic reaction to the lilies that were in her wedding bouquet, and had been supplied by Preston's Petals. It comes after bosses confirmed that a Coronation Street legend will be returning to the cobbles after seven years away. While all this was going on, Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) took it upon herself to entertain the congregation with a rendition of the Grease classic Hopelessly Devoted To You, and she then proposed to boyfriend Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan). Meanwhile, Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) eventually became the second Mrs Alahan when she and Dev said their vows as she sat in the hospital bed and she was discharged later that day. As viewers will know, Dev, who was previously married to the late Sunita Alahan (Shobna Gulati), had been kept in the dark about the fact that his son Aadi (Adam Hussain) has ran up £6,000 worth of debt in the shop, which he was left in charge of when his dad took a break a few months ago. But Dev managed to get it out of his son later in the episode. Furious, Dev, who has been played by Jimmi Harkishin since 1999, told him: "You are pathetic. Why did you keep all that from me? All those debts. I purposely kept my eyes and hands of the books so that you could prove yourself. And now, you are the definition of a failure. Shame on you! And you've brought shame on me." However, Bernie was aware of just how much her long-lost grandson Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) had been involved in the situation having staged a robbery as a failed insurance scam, and she had spent weeks trying to cover things up. Earlier in the day, Brody and Aadi had a violent confrontation after it became apparent that he had held her up in getting to the venue on time as he asked her for advice on how to take care of his sisters now that both of his parents are in prison. After Bernie overheard the confrontation between Dev and Aadi, she explained to Dev: "Two words. Insurance scam. Aadi got Brody to stage a robbery, and when that went belly-up, I tried to help. I got you to bring the wedding forward so we could get our hands on Aunti Rani's cash. I thought we could pay off the debt that way. " As viewers will know, Aunty Rani (Josephine Lloyd-Welcome) was due to present Dev and Bernie with thousands for the wedding, and Bernie had hoped to use most of the money to pay off Aadi's debts whilst keeping it all from her significant other. Deciding that now was the time to tell the truth, she told Dev: "I did the wedding on the cheap so there'd be a bit left over, otherwise, you'd be head-to-toe in Saville Row." In disbelief, Dev simply shook his head and muttered "No, no..." as he walked straight out of number seven. He headed over to the now-empty Bistro, where Bernie followed soon after. She told him: "I thought I could fix everything without you knowing, keep everything sweet between father and son. I've ruined our wedding, haven't I?" Dev was on the verge of tears as he put his head in his hands, and he begged his now-wife that the lies had to stop. She promised this would be the case, and the pair finally got to have their first dance together as husband and wife. But just moments later, Brody confronted Aadi on the Street and warned him: "Don't ever get in my face like that again because I won't be held responsible for my actions. I know we're like relatives now but stay as far away from me as possible. Laters." Fans will know that Aadi is set to leave the soap, but no exit date has been announced as yet. Could he face prison, or might he be kicked out by his relatives? Viewers certainly think so and that somehow it's all linked. They have wondered if a sad exit is on the cards as he burns bridges with those on the cobbles. One fan posted online: "Aadi is out of his depth with this robbery and love life. Everything is getting on top of him," as another predicted: "I wonder if this will be when Aadi exits the show?"

Wedding drama confirmed for another popular Coronation Street couple
We love a soap wedding, and in Coronation Street the wedding of Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) and Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) is the setting for another proposal – meaning another wedding will soon be on the way. Dev and Bernie's big day has been a bit of a rush job. Bernie insisted on bringing the wedding forward from Christmas, as was planned, to this week. This was so that she could use the wedding fund gifted to Dev by his aunt to help pay off the debts Aadi (Adam Hussain) had racked up while looking after the shop. So the wedding plans have been fairly hurried, but when the day itself arrives, there's a series of setbacks for Bernie. First of all her grandchildren, Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell) and Chesney (Sam Aston)'s quads, all fall ill so they have to watch the wedding on live stream. Then Bernie forgets her locket, which contains a picture of her late son Paul (Peter Ash). Desperate to have Paul with her in some form on her wedding day, she heads home – just in time to disturb a burglar. Meanwhile the wedding guests have assembled in the bistro and are awaiting the bride's arrival. As Bernie gets later and later and the guests begin to get restless, Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) steps up, entertaining the crowd with a rendition of the old Grease classic Hopelessly Devoted To You. And, for an encore, she proposes to Ronnie (Vinta Morgan), much to the delight of the other guests. Ronnie and Debbie recently got back together again after he discovered that the reason she'd been pushing him away over the previous weeks was because she was trying to hide a diagnosis of dementia. She persuaded herself that it wasn't fair to Ronnie to expect him to cope with her illness and he'd be better off with someone else. More Trending Once Ronnie knew the truth he told her that he wanted to be by her side every step of the way. Debbie realised that he was sincere, and that he was prepared for whatever the future might bring. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

Meanwhile, for Bernie and Dev there's a further twist in store as Bernie makes it to the wedding ceremony and walks down the aisle with her son Kit (Jacob Roberts), only to dramatically collapse and have to be rushed to hospital.

Kylie's hotpants among new museum's national treasures
From Kylie Minogue's gold hotpants to a 19th-century cloak worn by Dame Nellie Melba, costumes which adorned Australia's stars of the stage will go on show at a new museum. The $3.5 million Australian Museum of Performing Arts, under construction inside Melbourne's Hamer Hall, is set to open in December. The space will be used to show off the Australian Performing Arts Collection of more than 850,000 costumes, props, posters and other memorabilia. The treasures include AC/DC lead singer Bon Scott's leather jacket, Dame Edna Everage's The Scream Dress, and Divinyls singer Chrissy Amphlett's tunic. There's also a journal by Nick Cave, a model of the Priscilla Queen of the Desert bus, and the puppet Ossie Ostrich from the TV program Hey Hey it's Saturday. The museum project started with $500,000 in state government funding, with the rest of the budget coming from philanthropists. At a media event on Monday, performer Lucy Durack paid tribute to the late Olivia Newton-John with a rendition of her 1978 hit Hopelessly Devoted To You, from the musical Grease. Behind her was a sparkling red gown Newton-John wore in 1980 to sing for Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Charity Concert at Sydney Opera House. Arts Centre Melbourne chief executive Karen Quinlan said she was hopelessly devoted to the collection, which was established in 1975 and estimated to be worth almost $80 million, but had mostly been kept in storage. Putting it on show at the museum would inspire people, she said. "This is the new kid on the block. This is going to be a game-changing moment for Melbourne and I'm really excited." The collection also houses items from some of the nation's most prestigious performing arts companies such as The Australian Ballet, Circus Oz, Melbourne Theatre Company and Opera Australia. The museum will be located on the upper terrace of the Hamer Hall building overlooking the Yarra River. It will initially have 500 sq m of exhibition space, and a second phase of construction will see this expand to about 800 sq m. Ticket prices will be accessible, promised Quinlan, and a program of two exhibitions a year will include international shows. A $1.7 billion program to revitalise Melbourne's arts precinct more broadly, including a new contemporary art gallery, is slated for completion in 2028.
