Beth was the ex-girlfriend and ex-fiancée of Andy Bailey. She worked in the US Coast Guard.

Summary[]

Beth was Andy's on-and-off girlfriend for eight years and they were in a long-distance relationship while she was in Utah working for the coast guard. When Beth attempted to break up with Andy, she tried to stop him from visiting her in Utah. However, he insisted on going to try and fix their relationship and he ended up proposing even though he still had feelings for Haley. ("The Wedding (Part 2)")

When Beth did return to L.A., she was still busy with work and training for a time and missed a double date with Haley and Chase. When Andy underwent an appendicitis, Beth finally drove down and met Haley for the first time. ("Closet? You'll Love It!")

While in the Pritchett's home, Haley insisted that Beth stay for her sister's graduation party. There, Beth began acting differently, seemingly subtly threatening Haley, when no one else was watching their interactions, about stealing Andy. ("American Skyper")

While watching a movie with Andy, Haley and Dylan arrived and sat next to them in the last remaining adjacent seats. After a quick bite with the couple, Beth told Andy to invite them to the wedding. ("The More You Ignore Me")

Once, Andy's boss Gloria invited her to a cabin for Christmas with the family as part of a surprise for Andy, who believed that Beth was unavailable because she had to work. When Andy and Haley got caught hooking up, Phil told him to come clean, but before Andy could say tell her, Beth beat him to it and admitted to cheating on him and her other boyfriend, effectively ending their engagement and 10-year-long relationship. ("White Christmas")

Personality[]

The family viewed her as a sweet and caring person, although Haley didn't, when Haley first met Beth, she was convinced that she was trying to hurt or kill Haley, as there may have been a flirtatious vibe between Haley and Andy. We saw that Beth made Haley sit next to a candle, however Haley was unaware it was there. Beth made the conscious decision to pet Haley's hair and put it nearer to the candle. Haley's hair starts to burn, but Gloria put it out when she saw it, which made Haley become more suspicious of her.
