Beryl Medwin was the wife of Arthur Medwin.
Beryl had suffered a stroke four years prior to Arthur reconnecting with his old flame Evelyn Plummer in 2020 and remained in a permanent unresponsive state. Arthur misled Evelyn to believe that he was a widower. Evelyn was furious when she learned the truth and told Arthur that she didn't want to see him again. When the pair crossed paths again at the start of January 2021 Evelyn assumed Arthur had been buying flowers from Preston's Petals as a romantic gesture towards her and chastised him. She was mortified when undertaker George Shuttleworth revealed that Beryl had passed away and Arthur was attending her funeral. Evelyn apologised to Arthur and was stunned when he revealed that with Beryl gone he was emigrating back to Canada and wanted Evelyn to go with him. Evelyn was torn but turned him down as she felt like she belonged with her family in Weatherfield.
