Betty, also known as Aunty Betty, is played by Vivienne Martin. Betty is Pauline Fowler's aunt. She arrived in 1996 for Arthur Fowler's funeral, with her boyfriend Gerard. Betty was greeted by Pauline and her son Mark Fowler, while Gerard made rude and insensitive remarks about Arthur despite never meeting him, which disturbed many of those present. Betty clashed with Nellie Ellis, continuing a long-standing feud dating back to the Second World War, when Betty had relationships with several men including Nellie's boyfriend at the time. Betty was previously mentioned in 1988, when Lou Beale visited her in Leigh on Sea. In 2004, Pauline names her dog after her.

Famous quotes containing the word betty:
“He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, “Give me the co-ordinates.”... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
