Coronation Street viewers were in agreement as Evelyn investigated Bernie's claims during Wednesday's episode.
After Chesney's son Joseph went missing last week, Bernie found out her friend Clint had claimed the reward money.
Joseph had actually been hiding in cousin Hope Stape's loft, and Clint had bribed both of them to stay quiet so he could claim the £30,000 reward.

When Bernie found out, she struck a deal with Clint to split the money - as her family is in dire need of some cash.
In a bid to get Joseph to keep his mouth shut, Bernie slips him a new video game he wanted, making him promise not to show anyone.
But Evelyn soon spots him with the game, still in its new packaging.
A desperate Bernie is forced to lie and claims that she bought it after Dev gave her a pay rise, which leaves fellow employee Evelyn fuming.
When Dev questions Bernie about her fictional pay rise, Bernie claims that she made the story up so Chesney wouldn't feel bad about someone else buying gifts for his family.
Evelyn remains unconvinced.
A number of Corrie fans took to Twitter to comment on her investigation skills.
