I just read that Betty Driver (Betty Turpin of Corrie) has died at the grand age of
91.
She was a very good actress and when I used to watch Corrie years ago she was one of my favourite characters.

Oh No, this is sad news daffy, she was very alert for her age, I am sure the Street will give her a fitting Obituary

Crumbs - end of an era. She's been in it forever! - was she still acting? Life won't be the same without Betty's hotpot.

RIP, haven't seen the news,will look in a minute, yes 91 is a great age, but she was the stalwart of orrie, and she was a famous singer before she lost her voice, she will be missed. Hope ITV do programme on her

Yes Boxtops-she has been in Corrie this years-she appeared every few months-she had storyline last year-the oldest barmaid in Weatherfield but rude woman turned up and said she was-it was funny

Bobbisox

I bet it will still be Betty's Hotpot, it has to be, doesn't it?
only she knew the recipe, saw her life story not so long ago, her Mother was a real nasty piece to her
RIP Betty

Very sad news. She'd been in show biz from a child, and even had her own show.
There are some great clips on YouTube of her singing in the movies as a very attractive young woman.

sad news.. she had great spirit.

She was on desert island discs a couple of months back, she had a hard life, her parents never showed her any love, and she was done the dirty by her husband too, I only hope she could take solace in the fact that she was well loved by her fellow actors she worked with and the public of course.
RIP Betty love.
