Coronation Street fans 'not having it' as Beth Tinker star posts old photo

Lisa George is best known as Coronation Street's Beth Tinker, having played the loveable character since 2011.

But what many soap fans are just realising is Beth isn't Lisa's first stint on the cobbles. In fact, Lisa has appeared in Weatherfield twice before.

In an unearthed photo from the long-running soap, back from 2005, Lisa can be seen playing a family liaison officer to the Harris family. Long-term viewers will remember the family was shaken after daughter Katy killed dad Tommy after a heated row over her love life.

Captioning the post on Instagram, Lisa said: "Throwback to when I appeared in @coronationstreet in 2005 for the 2nd time - instead of a nurse I was a Family Liaison Officer! Just been sent this so had to post and share - how has the time of 18 years gone by so quickly!!!!"

Fans were left reeling by the photo, with many taking to the comments section. Jo said: "Blimey I don’t even remember that family & I’ve watched it for 40 years", while Lynne said: "I've watched Corrie since late 70s and onward. How did I miss this?! X".

Cath said: "Watched Corrie all my life, remember this story well, not having it that was you!" Michelle said: "How can that be? Also, why so serious? [laughing emojis] Great to see a throwback."

Abi Webster star Sally Carman said: "Baby face!!!" before adding three heart-eyes emojis.
