Beth Tinker could find her criminal business secret exposed on Friday night as Kirk Sutherland makes a mistake with a box of counterfeit T-shirts

Coronation Street’s Beth Tinker could find her criminal business secret exposed on Friday night.

Soap fans will recall that Beth has been using the equipment at Underworld as part of her dodgy side hustle to sew logos onto counterfeit T-shirts. In recent scenes, Beth was rumbled by DS Lisa Swain’s daughter Betsy, who has been working at the factory on work experience.

This has forced Beth to let Betsy join in on her side hustle for a cut of the profits in order to keep her secret safe. Earlier this week, Beth handed over a handful of cash to her police officer son Craig Tinker asking him to keep it safe.

Beth revealed she was planning on throwing a wedding for partner Kirk Sutherland and wanted it to be kept top secret. Craig was suspicious but decided to go along with his mother’s plan.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Kirk’s sister Maria Connor got wind of Beth’s plan to surprise Kirk with a wedding. After flicking through a wedding magazine, Beth was left disheartened to see the price of weddings to which Betsy suggested they needed to do more counterfeit T-shirts.

Later, Beth informed Betsy that she had secured them a huge T-shirt order and invited Izzy Armstrong to join their operation as the trio worked hard to sort out the counterfeit goods.

On Friday night, Beth discovers the box of counterfeit T-shirts missing to which Kirk innocently reveals he loaded it onto the delivery van. Can Beth track down the box before Carla discovers what she has been up to and could there be an exit on the horizon for the character?

It has been reported that Beth actress Lisa George has quit the soap and even filmed her final scenes after 13 years. Last month, amid the reports, the actress had a night out with her co-stars, sparking more rumours she could be leaving the cobbles.

However, earlier this year, actress Lisa, who has been on the hit ITV soap since 2011, downplayed exit rumours to The Mirror. It remains to be seen if Lisa’s character Beth will leave the cobbles and if she gets exposed on Friday’s episode…

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITV X.
