Betty Battersby

Betty Battersby is the mother of Les and Josie Battersby and grandmother to Greg Kelly and Leanne Battersby.

Betty wasn't a fan of Les's girlfriend, and Leanne's mother, Stella Price as she had been unfaithful - unable to cope with Les's drinking. Betty took Leanne away from her mother and refused to give her contact, this led to Stella being an absent mother and Leanne being brought up by Les. When Stella finally made contact around the time of Leanne's 30th birthday in June 2011, she talked about Betty and her refusal for her to see Leanne.
