Coronation Street: Who is Howard Lindon?

Tonight, Bernie decided to go to the country club that Fern is a member of to try and track her down.

She pretended to be Fern and asked the receptionist if she had her updated address on the system.

However, the receptionist couldn’t help her unless she had some form of ID.

When the receptionist was away from her desk, Bernie started to look up Fern’s details on the computer.

This was when she met Fern’s ex-husband, Howard.

He was questioning who she was, but immediately shut her down when she told him that she was Fern Lindon.

Howard said that she couldn’t be Fern because Fern was his ex-wife.

Bernie made up that she had been wanting Fern’s details so that she could give her advice on a yeast infection.

Of course, Howard saw right through the act and forced Bernie to tell him the truth.

She then revealed that Fern had framed her for a robbery.

Howard told Bernie that Fern is a liar, cheat and a con artist who dumped him three weeks ago and took his house and all of his mum’s money.

When Bernie asked him to help her track Fern down and see her pay for her crimes, Howard wanted nothing to do with her.

However, later on, he turned up at The Rovers and decided to help.

He said that he’d give a statement to the police tomorrow.
