Coronation Street Antony Cotton has shared the sweet link to soap legend Betty Driver as he admits to missing her 'lots'. The actor, who is best known for playing Sean Tully in the ITV soap, had a close bond with the legendary soap barmaid, who passed away in April 2012.
And his character is even the guardian of the secret Betty's Hotpot recipe. Antony's character Sean, who arrived on the cobbles in 2003, was stunned to be left the handwritten recipe for the famous hotpot after Betty's death. Betty, the longest-serving barmaid in the history of the Rovers Return, left barman Sean the huge task of continuing her lunchtime hotpot legacy in a note containing the full recipe.
Actress Betty Driver, who played Betty for 42 years in the ITV soap, died in October 2011 aged 91 and her much-loved character was subsequently written out.
