Are Beth and Craig Corrie comedy gold?

Judging by the comments left on recent blog posts, it seems I'm not the only Coronation Street fan who's enjoying newcomer Beth and her ever-silent, ever-eating son Craig.  Beth's attepted seduction of Steve had me in stitches, as did Craig sitting in the back of the cab office, snaffling the biscuits

Well done to actrors Lisa George and Colson Smith, who play Beth and Craig. This fan hopes there's many more scenes with them both in.  and I did wonder if we'd ever see Craig's dad turn up on Corrie one day too...

Do we know if they've been given a surname yet?  It's always a good sign that characters are staying, when they get a surname!
