Bernie Winter, meanwhile, will be at the heart of a 'massive' storyline involving Kit Green and her family dynamic, expected to air in late spring or early summer. Brooks described the actors playing Christina, Glenda, Sally, Debbie, and Bernie as 'phenomenal' and said their warmth and comedy is 'contagious'.
Debbie Webster's own plot was described as 'phenomenal', with Brooks confirming it will also involve Bernie and Christina. The boss remained coy on full details but said more will be revealed as the storylines air.
Additionally, the identity of Theo Silverton's killer will be uncovered in the coming months, with Brooks confirming viewers will finally learn who committed the crime and why. Cast members have teased the culprit will surprise fans.
