She is just so cute and obviously just does what she damn well likes during recording. We've already had her adlibbing "Good Morning" to Todd and getting his amused reactiona few weeks back. Like most young children, she also finds the boom mic an amusing distraction.

But last night's episode was a cracker. At one point in the episode she went and closed the living room door behind Sarah and Todd but the real gem for me was at the beginning when the Hillmans are round the breakfast table. Martin is getting the lowdown on the state of Gail's fianaces and the mood is very sombre. In the middle of it all, for no apparent reason, Bethany pipes up: "Camera One!" it was hilarious!

This kid (well kids because she is played by twins) are well cute. I've noticed for ages, how she quite often repeats things which are said. Like, last year I remember Sarah calling David a "stupid idiot" then little Bethany's voice repeating "stupid idiot".

I picked up on her shutting the door too!!!

As far as I was aware,Bethany has always been played by Emily and Amy Walton and i was not aware that this had changed.
However, if it says different on IMDB then i may be wrong, and that is usually such a good source!

That was in the year 2000.

If you look further down the cast list you will see that currently she is played by Emily & Amy Walton.

I believe Characters of such a young age have to be played by 2 children so as not to upset their daily routine off camera.

She is played by twins. It's a legal requirement because children of that age are only allowed to work for short periods.

Interesting fact.....in an interview, Jack P Shepherd (David Platt) said that during the filming of the canal scene, where they escaped the car underwater, they managed to film it in one take and luckily only needed to use one twin. However, the other twin was watching and saw how much fun her sister had in the water, so they had to give her a turn too!!!

Too Cute

Though, i believe for most of the actual stunts (where the shots of Bethany were not that clear) they used a dummy doll.
