While speaking with The Sunday Times in January, Reilly shed some light on what viewers can expect to see from Beth as her story continues.
“This is a different era – I had hit my quota of the younger Beth,” she said. “But there is a lot of why the audience fell in love with her. Beth was unrelenting, dangerous and could easily have been written as a man — people were very critical at the start..”

Reilly shared her view that criticism of Beth was due to how the character defied audience expectations about how women “should” behave on screen.
“She is unapologetic, out there, flawed, damaged and brave,” Reilly said. “Women are always asked to play strong role model types, while men can play the gnarliest characters and get away with it.”
