Will she be caught out?

Coronation Street’s Beth Tinker will find her secret side hustle under threat of being exposed next week.

Beth has been using Underworld’s equipment to sew counterfeit labels onto knockoff clothes and make some extra money. After newcomer Betsy Swain discovered what was going on, she joined in on the operation.

In next week’s episodes, Beth gives Craig an envelope full of cash and tells him to hide it somewhere, as she’s planning a secret surprise for Kirk.

At work, she skims through magazines and laments about how expensive wedding venues are nowadays. Maria gets wind of Beth’s plans to get married, while Betsy sneakily tells her coworker that perhaps they should do more dodgy work on the side.

Disaster strikes later in the week, as Beth realises that Kirk has accidentally loaded a box of the counterfeit T-shirts into the delivery van with the genuine Underworld stock.

Will Beth be able to catch up with the van and get the box back, or will Carla discover what Beth and Betsy have been doing under her nose?

At the end of last year, it was reported that Beth actor Lisa George will leave the soap, with her final scenes set to air in the summer. Is this all building up to her exit?

Meanwhile, the show is set to bring back Alina Pop in the coming weeks, as well as Martin Platt for Gail’s exit storyline.
