Coronation Street fans call out blunder as Beth Tinker reunites with former flame for date
CORONATION Street viewers spot major blunder as Beth Tinker met up with her former lover.
Beth – played by Lisa George on the ITV soap – decided to meet up with a “friend” while her relationship with husband Kirk is on the rocks.
Beth kept an old letter from her former flame Marco in her memory box – which Kirk (Andy Whyment) wasn’t happy about.
Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger) added Marco on social media, then he and Beth soon agreed to meet up for a catch-up lunch.
When Glenda asked: “Then why are you lying?” Beth replied: “Because I don’t want people knowing my business.”
She added: “Kirky gets jealous and we are only meeting up as mates.”
However viewers were left confused as Beth was adamant not to tell Kirk about the date, but went in The Bistro full of her neighbours where people would recognise her.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer said: “Not Beth meeting up with Marco on her own doorstep, where everyone she knows can see her #Corrie #CoronationStreet.”
Another wrote: “Let’s meet in secret…. in the restaurant that’s two minutes away from where me and my husband live….”
A third penned: “Beth has no shame. How can you meet Marco at the Bistro, or even in an area you and Kirk live? #corrie #coronationstreet.”
A fourth tweeted: “Why would Beth meet this guy in the bistro where EVERYONE will see #corrie #coronationstreet.”
At the Bistro, Marco is overjoyed to see Beth and said: “Look at you! You haven’t aged a day!”
Beth and Marco reminisced about their time together before Marco returned the vinyl she had asked for.
Later, Marco attempted to make his move and asked: “So, do you want to go somewhere else or?”
Beth let him down and said: “Oh I can’t, I said I would have tea with Kirky, need something to soak up the booze.”
A disappointed Marco said: “This Kirky is a lucky man. So I would like to see you again, as friends…”
He pulled her in for a kiss which she dodged.
Can Beth patch things up with Kirk?
