Liz to be new landlady

[alan45]

From today's Daily Mirror


CORRIE star Bev Callard told yesterday how she found out she was to be the Rovers new landlady - from the Daily Mirror.

The 47-year-old actress, who plays favourite Liz McDonald, didn't know she was being given the plum job until we broke the story last week.

She said: "It's such an honour - but it's still sinking in. I only got told I was going to be the next landlady on Friday.

"We were rehearsing when someone from the press office rang to say the Mirror had found out Liz was taking over.

"I said, 'Oh', and she was like, 'Oh, sorry, didn't you know?' I didn't have a clue."

But Bev can't wait to get behind Weatherfield's famous bar. She said: "I'm sure Liz will want to redecorate - Bet Lynch has already done the leopard skin so she'll go for Lycra curtains."

In real life, Bev runs a pub in Eccles, Manchester, with boyfriend Jon McEwan, 40. She added: "It's really quite scary being a landlady off screen and on."

I think that's great! She's a long time character who deserves this break. I think she'll make an excellent landlady! She has a great personality, and she's someone everyone likes.

I dont understand why it would be Liz to take over when Shelley leaves

[eastenders mad]

i know maybe cause thye know that she has worked behind a pub and she knows her way around the pub.
I thought she manager to the weatherfield pub???

[melmarshall858]

She lost that job i think that is why she is never doing anything wasn't Vernon meant to have a market stall that she was running but i think they forgot all about that.

Obviously when Shelly left the natural thing would be for Bev to run the pub so i am guessing that she has left by then.
Seems silly they are fighting over who is land lady now then they have no one

I think Liz would be good, and I hope Jim returns !

[kinkybootz]

Why should she take over when shelly leaves as its fred`s pub and he is getting married so surely they will run the pub.

[melmarshall858]

well arent bev and fred both leaving so i presume that liz (if its true) will run the pub when they leave - perhaps as she is an old friend of freds and best friends with bev they will leave her in charge of the pub after they leave instead of fred selling up

[alan45]

Liz has previous experience of running T'Rovers along with Big Jim McDonald so they did :)

Liz and Raquel used to be a great partnership in the Rovers.

[twinkle_eyes83]

so how many times has she worked in that pub now ive lost count

[Chris_2k11]

Nat Barnes was the best landlady.

[Richie_lecturer]

No, Betty's the best. :cheer:

Favourite landlady: Annie Walker. Anyone watching classic Corrie this afternoon on ITV would have caught her. :cool:

Liz has now been confirmed as the new landlady of the Rovers here (http://www.itv.com/page.asp?partid=1001&newsType=cor) :cheer:

[Keating's babe]

What happens to Fred and Bev then? do they get a 'happy ever after' storyline? surely Fred is overdue luck in the love stakes.

[melmarshall858]

I would hope so as i said earlier in the thread i think the ideal way to do this would be to have Beva dn Fred get married and for some reason decide to move away and as Shelley is leaving tooo leave their good friend Liz to run the pub and live there as they are currently looking for somewhere to live.

I hope fred gets a happy ending as well. his choice in women hasnt been great so far though! im not fussy about bev I havnt liked her since she slept with charlie
