Lisa George, who plays Beth on Coronation Street, spoke candidly about Kirk’s (Andrew Whyment) treachery to metro.co.uk on the red carpet at the British Soap Awards.
After having a difficult time with Kirk over the incident that resulted in her slapping Hope (Isabella Flanagan), recent circumstances have seen Beth rekindle her relationship with her ex-boyfriend Marco (Paul Albertson).
The 50-year-old said that she was’shocked’ to learn about Beth’s romance, and she wasn’t the only one.
‘Andy was not at all content. “You get to kiss someone else, do you?” She said that he was quite protective.
I had the same reaction when he flirted with a dog walker a few years prior: “I can’t believe you’d do that.” You know it’s not true, though!”
Beth pulled away when Marco wanted to kiss her, thus nothing romantic happened, but Kirk still thinks Beth cheated on her; nevertheless, Lisa jumped to Beth’s side right after.
No, no, she argued, “They were flirting.”
It was flirtatious and flattering, and while she withdrew, she did declare, “I love my Kirky!” I have to stand up for her in this case.
The actress is optimistic that the couple still has a future together despite the rift it has created between the characters, with Kirk leaving over Beth’s suspected infidelity.
I firmly believe that,” she replied.
As stupid as they both are, they are soulmates; they were destined to be together, right?
