Actress Beth Vyse is the newest cast member of the hit soap Coronation Street.
The actress and comedian is set to join the cobbles as Bridget, Stuart Carpenter’s (played by Bill Fellows) long-lost daughter. Stuart is a former homeless man who was integral to helping the police in nailing Corey Brent for killing Seb Franklin.
And although the character later found happiness as he met Yasmeen Nazir (played by Shelley King) and got a job in the Speed Daal kitchen, there was one aspect of his life which was still very much on his mind.

But it’s her other TV experience that sets her apart and makes her perfect for the cobbles, she’s previously appeared in dramas such as Holby City, A Touch of Frost, Spooks and she’s also appeared several times on Radio 4 and in the Doctor Who radio series.
However Corrie is not her only soap experience, as she also played the role of Cherry Adamson in the rival show Doctors in 2012.
Aside from the drama experience, Beth’s life has not been plain sailing as she was previously diagnosed with cancer at the age of 29.

But by her own admission she had to “react, reassess, and ultimately change” her path, and it was this medical shock that inspired her love of writing and performing comedy.
Since then, Beth went on to create several critically acclaimed Edinburgh Shows, and has also performed in other esteemed events such as Latitude Festival, and New Zealand Comedy Festival.
The comedian also recently finished a national tour with her show As Funny As Cancer.
