Corrie - Betty!
I just read in another thread that Betty Driver is 86 - bloody hell, I knew she was old but didn't realise she was this old.
She looks brilliant for her age and I think that the fact she's still working on Corrie is great. Betty is an excellent (and very overlooked) character. Betty driver is a fantastic actress. I would absolutely love to see her getting a good storyline, but sadly, becuase of her age, she probably won't. Can someone tell me if she's ever received a Lifetime Achievment award at any of there awards ceremonies? If not then she definately should. Betty - you really are a true legend!

It doesn't look like she's ever won a Lifetime Achievement Award. I did a search on Wikipedia and a Google search and couldn't find anything.

Well, if they've given Helen Worth one I think Betty deserves one!

Betty reminds me of my gran...she looks a bit like her and she is straight to the point - no nonsense.

She is fantabulous! i know i love her bluntness! On the digital Spy awards it has Eileen Derbyshire who i think is 75, which is old to be giving all your days to Corrie, next should deff be Betty, she deserves it> I wish she would havemore lines, because they are comic one liners! and straight to the point, whether they like it or not!

Betty is fantastic (both the character, and the actress!)
She is a joy to watch and always has been. Long may she continue! |

I love Betty, she is one of my favourites
She is very witty. I would like to see more of Betty but considering Betty Driver is 86 I expect it's not possible as it's remarkable she's even working at 86 and she looks great too. Give her, Eileen Derbyshire and Barbara Knox a Lifetime Achievement Award (if they haven't already received them!) |

I love Betty but they should kill her off next year with a big storyline before she dies in real life!
