Elizabeth "Betty" Williams (née Preston, previously Turpin) was a long-serving barmaid at the Rovers Return Inn in Coronation Street. Prior to her marriage to policeman Cyril Turpin, Betty had an affair with soldier Ted Farrell and fell pregnant without Ted's knowledge. She gave birth to a son, Gordon, who was brought up by his aunt and uncle, Maggie and Les Clegg. Gordon did not learn the truth about his parentage until 1975. While landlords, staff and patrons have come and gone, Betty was as much a constant as her famous hotpot.

abstract
  • Elizabeth "Betty" Williams (née Preston, previously Turpin) was a long-serving barmaid at the Rovers Return Inn in Coronation Street. Prior to her marriage to policeman Cyril Turpin, Betty had an affair with soldier Ted Farrell and fell pregnant without Ted's knowledge. She gave birth to a son, Gordon, who was brought up by his aunt and uncle, Maggie and Les Clegg. Gordon did not learn the truth about his parentage until 1975. Betty arrived in Coronation Street in June 1969 to help her sister Maggie run the Corner Shop. A short time later, she was hired as a barmaid at the Rovers and became a fixture in the Street along with her husband Cyril. At the Rovers, Betty and Bet Lynch worked under the rule of snobbish Annie Walker. Despite Annie's highly-strung ways, she was good friends with Betty and referred to her as "Elizabeth" to distinguish her from Bet. In 1974, Betty was left alone: Cyril died of a heart attack, and Maggie moved to Zaire to start a new life with second husband Ron Cooke. In 1995, Betty encountered old flame Billy Williams and, rekindling their relationship, they married later that year. Billy died in 1997. While landlords, staff and patrons have come and gone, Betty was as much a constant as her famous hotpot.
