EastEnders fans call out obvious blunder with Bernie after she’s exposed as Linda’s blackmailer ahead of The Six trial
Fans love evil Bernie, but there's just one problem
EASTENDERS fans have called out an obvious blunder with Bernie Taylor.
The cafe worker was exposed as the person behind Linda’s blackmail nightmare in recent scenes.
In Thursday’s episode of EastEnders, Sharon (Letitia Dean) and Linda (Kellie Bright) invited Bernie over to confront her.
Dean Wick’s (Matt Di Angelo) upcoming trial is looming large and the rest of The Six are on edge.
After Bernie (Clair Norris) had spoken to Dean in prison, she terrorized Linda with guilt-tripping notes.
She is convinced the landlady knows something about her brother Keanu’s (Danny Walters) murder.
She then started to bombard her with text messages from a burner phone, as she’s also convinced she is covering for Sharon.
When in fact, it is Sharon who is covering for her best pal Linda after she killed Keanu on Christmas Day after he started to strangle Sharon.
However, her plot was discovered when she accidently dropped the second mobile in the cafe.
When Sharon and Linda wanted to address the issue, Sharon called the mystery device.
Their suspicions were confirmed when it rang out loud from Bernie’s pocket.
But fans pointed out a blunder in the writing, as they thought a hidden burner phone would never ring out loud.
Taking to X – formerly known as Twitter – one fan wrote: “Why would Bernie have her blackmailing phone on loud. The way she’s just stood there being caught out.”
A second chimed in: “I feel like rule one is not taking your blackmailing phone to a meeting with the people you’re blackmailing in the first place”
“She wanted to be caught,” stated a third viewer.
As another soap fan questioned: “Wait Bernie had her burner phone on loud and Sharon found out the number? I mean I’m dumb A* but even I know not to do those things.”
And a fifth added: “Bernie ain’t a very good blackmailer if she kept her phone on loud.”
