Andrea Beckett

Andrea Beckett is the friend of Steve McDonald and also his fellow classmate at college.

When Steve McDonald took a history course at college in order to improve his knowledge he began to hang out and talk to Andrea, and they were both around the same age and older than some of the students in the class. They grew close and Steve later confided in his girlfriend Michelle Connor who insisted he needed to find a friend, although he made out Andrea wasn't good looking so Michelle wasn't jealous.

In December 2013 Andrea turned up at Steve's pub the Rovers Return Inn much to Michelle's dismay as she had realised Steve lied about Andrea looking bad. When Steve went away to buy Michelle a top, Andrea attended to help him pick the colour which led to Michelle being furious when she found out. Steve's friend Lloyd Mullaney had shown some feelings towards Andrea and wanted to buy her a drink, which made Steve slightly jealous.

When in January 2014 Michelle wanted Steve to get a vasectomy after a pregnancy scare, he had refused and confided in his friends and Andrea. Although Lloyd and Eileen Grimshaw saw it as a laughing matter, Andrea told him to stand up to Michelle, which Steve later done much to her annoyance. When Michelle did a 'sex ban' against Steve, he got his own back by inviting Andrea round to study with him, knowing that she annoyed Michelle.
