Coronation Street spoiler: What is Beth Tinker’s dark secret?
When son's new career threatens to expose it, she tries desperately to cover her tracks
KNICKER stitcher Beth Tinker’s world looks set to come apart at the seams as a secret from her past threatens to be exposed.
Beth (Lisa George) is pleased as punch when son Craig (Colson Smith) announces his intentions to join the police force.
While he’s off attending a Special Constable Information Day however, she soon changes her tune following a conversation with pal Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford).
Bragging to the florist about Craig’s ambitions, Tracy remarks how her own daughter Amy could never consider such a career owing to her family’s criminal past.
As the colour drains from Beth’s face, what could she be hiding?
