Speaking recently about Betsy’s storyline, Sydney Martin – who plays her – commented: “I think it’s the wake-up call that she needs her mum, she needs Carla, she needs Ryan, and she needs this family unit. Although grief is such a horrible emotion, you can rely on the people around you, it doesn’t make you weak, it doesn’t make you a child.
“She needs to see they’re not trying to treat her like a child, they’re just trying to understand her. Just before the crash it was her mum that she was reaching for, it was her mum that she was leaving a voicemail for.
“She is grateful to her mum, and for Carla for stepping into this motherly role now. This is a wake up call that life can be taken away in a split second.”
