New Underworld stitcher is a familiar face

Wonderful news from ITV this morning! It seems they do listen to fans on occasion.

Back in August, we got a glimpse of a character called Beth, (played by Lisa George) one of Steve McDonald's ex girlfriends. She and her gormless son, Craig, met with Steve at the Bistro for what was eventually a date from hell.

Most of the comments here on the blog were positive. I know I loved the scenes, the actors who played the mother and son, and thought they would be great as Corrie regulars.

Well, guess what? The mum at least is slated to be a new factory worker soon! I expect that means the current financial problems they're having at Underworld will be sorted at some point so that they can hire new staff. There's no word on when Beth will be back on our screens but I, for one, will look forward to it. Do I sense a new lady love for Kirk?

  1. Poor Kirk!
    The street could use another Cilla, would certainly liven things up at Underworld.

  5. Can't wait for to come back , she was funny and we can certainly do with a Cilla type character to add some fun into the soap. Think old Sally Webster could have summat to say about it though

  6. I liked her, too. She's a dimmer version of Cilla and would make a good partner for Kirk. A great comedy pairing.

  7. i think this is great news hope they are bringing the son back as well as they made a really good duo. There is a lack of good teenage characters on the street at the moment so i reckon these 2 could restore the comedy factor that is much needed
