However show boss Iain MacLeod has assured fans that Gemma will come out of this as a different person.
Speaking at a virtual press event, Iain said: “I’ve loved that story – Dolly-Rose [Campbell] is a great actress. We throw a lot of comedy nonsense at her but through this she has shown a lot of pathos.
“She and Sam [Aston, Chesney] have this classic Corrie double act going on. Gemma’s story will be heartbreaking and Bernie will become her saviour in her way – it’s her chance to redeem herself.
“She’s by her side. She’s a rock for her – there’s lots of great stuff to come and there will be some positivity, Gemma will come through this with a new level of appreciation and love for her mum.
