About Betty

Betty Eagleton is best known as one of the village busybodies.

In 2000 one of her ex partners, Reggie arrived in the village. It transpired that Betty had dated Reggie while working in the Windmill Theatre in London. On the day she went to tell him she was pregnant with his baby, Betty discovered him in a bed with another woman and subsequently had an abortion. The operation left her incapable of having children and she kept the tragedy to herself. Knowing this, Reggie tried to blackmail Betty by threatening to tell Seth. Instead, Betty told him herself and Seth drove Reggie out of the village.

In 2004, Betty decided to visit her friend Kathy in Australia and went on a long holiday. Seth Armstrong, a joined her, but when she got homesick and returned several months later to Emmerdale in 2004, he did not return with her. In turn, she spent a lot of time with him in Australia.

On Christmas Eve, Betty got the best present ever when Seth sung Silent Night to her over an Internet connection.

However on his way home, Seth died on the aeroplane. Betty was waiting at the airport when her friend Kathy Glover broke the bad news. During Seth's funeral, Betty took Seth's coffin and buried it in the countryside, with help from Laurel and Zak and Sam Dingle. A fake coffin, containing a sack of sand, was buried by the rest of the villagers in the Emmerdale cemetery.

Soon after, Alan Turner moved in with Betty. After lamenting a lack of contact with his son Terence, it was Betty who got in touch with Terence and convinced him to return to Emmerdale.

It was later revealed that Terrence sexually abused Stephanie Turner as a child. Unable to accept Terence sexually abused Steph, Alan lashed out at Betty and moves from her house into Holdgate Farm. Alan later realises the truth and returns to move in with Betty. Terence went missing soon after this and Steph began to claim that her new husband, Adam, murdered him. It turns out that her story is true but nobody believes her so she forfeits her own freedom by claiming they murdered him together and both Adam and Steph are sent to jail.

As Betty and Alan struggled to get over this a new person entered Betty's life, this was the local reverends father, Sandy Thomas. Sandy moved in with Betty much to Alan's disgust.

Recently Betty's dog Charlie died, and she decided to spread the dog's cremated remains over Seth's burial place.

In June 2008, Betty told Laurel Thomas that she was like "the daughter she never had"
