ITV ‘Coronation Street’ spoilers finds that sactress Katie McGlynn has this week spoken at length about how she hopes Bertie Osbourne’s life plans out. McGlynn left the ITV soap last year after her character Sinead Tinker lost her battle with cervical cancer. In the heartbreaking scenes that aired towards the end of 2019, the soap aired special episodes that were solely focused on Sinead and her final days.

However, Sinead was dedicated to giving birth, and doctors hailed it as a miracle when Bertie was born early but was healthy.
