Is Paula Tilbrook (Betty Eagleton) ok? She hasn't been onscreen since the end of April, and she isn't in any future episodes or spoilers for the show. Does anyone have any news on her? I hope she isn't ill.

I hope she is ok too, I have not heard on the grapevine one way or the other to be honest.
She is a trooper that lady and at one time was in so many scenes on ED.
They did cut back on her her scenes a while ago I can recall that.

Since Kate Oates has been the producer she has featured in more episodes. I hope she's okay and she's not ill or anything.

She did take a break back in 2011/12 due to ill health so possibly due to that they have deliberately kept her workload down and allowed her to take time off every few months, almost making Betty a part time character really which is shame but it's what happens when age catches up with you unfortunately.

It would be nice if Betty (Paula Tilbrook) still made the occasional appearance. She has always been a mainstay of the show, especially in the days when she was a couple with Seth (the late Stan Richards) . But she is 84; I hope I am not still working at 84 !!

The same with Jean Alexander (Hilda Ogden from Coronation Street). I wish both ladies a full recovery; they have both given us a great deal of enjoyment over many years

When did she say this? I looked at todays episode and all it said was about Jean Alexander.

Somebody told me she had heard she died! I'm glad she is not and that she will be ok.

She had a hip replacement and recovery was very slow. She now has a stick when you see her walking or standing.
Her tongue is as sharp as ever though.

Even though she has a stick she is still quite good for 84, don't you think? I do hope she recovers well from this recent health scare. I cannot imagine the show without Betty and Emmerdale has lost far too many of its long standing stars in the last 10 years.

She basically is part time now. And after this health incident I can see her appearances being further spaced apart.

Hope she's OK. Betty's an absolute legend

I don't really watch ED anymore - are the older characters still as sidelined as they were during Blackburn's era?

I hope Ms Tilbrook is alright. I love Betty, she's top 5 of my favourite soap characters ever.

I think that there just so much heavy and boring stuff on and coming that there are no lighter scenes suitable for Betty. (Or Pearl)

Maybe
Spoiler
we'll get better stuff.

I do not have twitter so do not know the score with that thing.
I see you have though, can you tweet on the Emmerdale twitter site and ask after her?

Betty is part of Emmerdale and she would not fit in to the new show that Kate Oates has created - Ganstas R Us. Enjoy your retirement, Paula, you have earned it.

Loved the days of Betty and Seth. I do miss the old Emmerdale, it is turning into a programme where you can point out where you've seen an actor before (Usually another soap). There are very few 'proper' Emmerdale characters anymore (if that at all makes any sense!).

Like Edna, Betty has been drawn into the criminal underworld. Last I heard she was on a drugs run to Colombia.
