Asha's left reeling as Bernie exposes Naomi during explosive showdown in Corrie

Will Bernie's actions do more harm than good?

20-26 SEPTEMBER

When Bernie voices her concerns about Asha to him, Dev admits that she’s been spending a lot of time in her room.

After some persuasion from Bernie, Asha agrees to help Ryan with the careers fair at the hotel, unaware that the guest speaker is the woman who abused her.

After Dev persuades a reluctant Asha to let him take her for lunch at the hotel, Asha’s shaken when she comes face to face with Naomi, who’s there planning a careers fair, reminding Naomi how she tried to help her when she was drunk, but in return she was abused and spat upon. Naomi denies all knowledge and warns Asha against making unfounded allegations.

Returning home in tears, Asha tells Bernie about her run in with Naomi and how she played dumb. Bernie heads out, a woman on a mission.

Later, Bernie confides in Dev that according to Kit, it’s going to be difficult to bring charges against Naomi as they only have Asha’s word for what happened.

At the careers fair, Bernie locates Naomi’s laptop and as Naomi takes the stage, she clicks on the first slide and is horrified by what she sees. Bernie explains to the shocked audience how Naomi abused Asha, a paramedic and woman of colour.

Nina and Amy film the proceedings on their phones while Ryan calls a halt to the event.

Having watched the video, Asha rounds on Bernie for interfering before Naomi barges into No.7 to announce that she’s suing Bernie for defamation.
