This comes as no surprise to me after seeing the way Poppy is behaving behind the Rovers bar in tonight's episode, particularly towards Betty. Apparently Steve is going to promote Poppy to bar manager while Liz is away in Spain, and she doesn't have much time for the Rovers' longest-serving member of staff - so she sacks her.
A Corrie insider tells the Sun that Betty won't be leaving the Street, as Betty Driver has been told she's welcome to stay for as long as she likes. And she doesn't take her sacking lightly, saying, "Sacked, after all the years I've given this place. Annie Walker - now that was somebody to be sacked by. Alec Gilroy and Bet -- at least they sacked people with a bit of class. But to get my cards from that madam Poppy when she's not even been here two minutes, it's nothing short of scandalous."
