Digital Spy has a good interview with Lisa George who plays gobby Beth Tinker today. She tells us that she's still got a few months left on her contract and is waiting to find out if it will be renewed (Oh I do hope so!).
Lisa has been an actor for 16 years and also teaches singing and she's thrilled to be on Coronation Street and working every day.
When asked about Beth's similarity to Cilla Battersby-Brown she replied that she doesn't think there's a lot, other than a bit of a resemblance. "But I don't think that Beth is as callous as Cilla was. Cilla didn't care for her kids, but Beth is really soft. She comes across as gobby and harsh, but she's a very different character to Cilla. I'd like to think that people see that." I will agree with that.
I don't know about you but I think the Rovers needs to have a karaoke night soon so we can hear Beth belt out a tune, surprising everyone with how good she is!
Vote for Lisa as Best Newcomer in the Inside Soap Awards.

Love Beth, but never knew that her surname was "Tinker". Just a perfect name, lol. Kudos to the actress who plays her.
Love the character of Beth, nothing like Cilla thank god. Like her interaction with Tracy too. Hope they have enough nouse to keep her!
I must be the only one who thinks Beth is just another loud mouthed cow on the street.
yep, she's a loud mouthed cow but she's also a breath of fresh air. I love that she's not PC and says what she thinks but does have a soft side to her. Somewhere.
Love Beth but wish we could see more of Craig as well. Hope her contract is renewed....she is a BIG breath of fresh air....sometimes a little too caustic but then she shows her softer side...so not one-dimensional. Her pairing with Tracy was brilliant.
I like Beth - she says what she thinks; although sometimes she speaks before she thinks - which leads to some good comedy moments!
Her outspokenness is quite different from Norris, for example, who is just one mean sonofabitch, with NO likeable qualities.
