ALEX REID plays Beth. Beth is an English teacher and out of all the girls, she is the most reluctant to come on the trip. Although she has been friends with Juno and Sarah for years, Beth feels let down by Juno. When Sarah was facing hard times, it was Beth who was left to pick up the pieces while Juno fled back to America. Now one year on, Beth is skeptical and wary of Juno’s attempts to bridge the gap between them and re-create old times by organizing this caving expedition.
Alex says of her character: “Beth is reluctant to go on this trip in the first place and is only there to keep an eye on Sarah. She isn’t convinced that Sarah is fully recovered from the aftermath of the accident to even be strong enough to go, but as the trip has been organised to help her, and bring things back to the way they were, she goes along with it, for Sarah’s sake. She certainly doesn’t feel she could trust Juno to look after Sarah at the moment, so that’s why she’s there - for Sarah.”
Alex Reid has an impressive list of film and television credits, including the lead roles in The Honeymooners and Jack Sholder’s Arachnid, and the character Pam in Last Orders. She has been seen on television as Claire in Peter Kosminsky’s Spin and played one of the leads in ITV1’s Blue Dove. Other TV credits include Ultimate Force on ITV1 and BBC1’s Casualty.
