CORRIE bosses say they have no plans to retire veteran actress Betty Driver who has played Betty Williams for 38 years.

At 87, Betty is the oldest member of the ITV1 soap’s cast and she is still highly valued by its producers.

Famous for Betty’s Hotpot, she will be seen in upcoming episodes behind the bar of the Rovers Return making classic comments when Fiz thinks she has contracted a tapeworm.

Executive producer Kieran Roberts told TV Biz: “She is still going stronG and enjoying the role.. Betty is one of the Street’s great traditional characters who seem to have been there forever.

“It’s always been our aim to keep a great mix of contemporary stories with older, more traditional characters.

“Comedy and tragedy combined with very clever writing has always been a trademark of the Street.

“Though we have powerful storylines involving Bethany being taken to hospital after taking ecstasy tablets coming up, there are plenty of comic moments in the pipeline.

"They include Vera getting orgasmic on a massage chair and lecherous Dev making an idiot of himself.”
