I don't really watch Emmerdale but know most of the characters and have started watching it more recently. Anyway, Emily said something to that guy about Betty saying he could stay there and that got me wondering. Have Betty and Seth left the soap? What has happened to them?

Oh, and what is the deal with those 2, they are married aren't they? Its just something iv never been able to figure out!

I haven't heard about them leaving the show. Maybe they don't get any storylines?

As far as I can remember, they're not married. A couple of times they have been referred to as "living over the brush" or whatever phrase it is you use about couples living together without being married!

I do think that is right, but then Betty (before Edna) used to be the voice of moral outrage on Emmerdale e.g. tutting at Zoe's liasons with women etc! So maybe a little bit hypocritical (only judging by her own standards!)

The actors who play Betty and Seth have been unwell and so they've been off set for about, gosh, over a year now isn't it? Possibly two years with Seth, I'm not sure..

It was pretty easy to write the characters out for a while, they just sent to them to stay with Kathy in Australia who they are currently living with or close to.

And no, they're definitely not married, hence Betty still being known as Eggleton. Not quite sure what the story was behind that..

Well Betty and Seth are in Australia at the moment I think (storyline wise)

Outside of the soap the actor who played Seth was very ill and it is hoped he will make a return.

Betty is just having a break and I think she is back either September or October.

they are participating in an international soap actor exchange with Home & Away.
As you know the Aussie soap sent Skippy while Emmerdale sent Seth and Betty to Summer Bay, didn't you see them in the diner ?

An interesting theory. They sent the plank (Cameron ) to the Bill. Im sure the Ape would go well in Ramsey Street or summer bay. Yes lets exchange
