• She's left handed

• By the age of four Beth could recite entire scripts of Blackadder and The Young Ones (as a result of having much older siblings)

• Beth Allen has a scar on her stomach and back and it was because her spine was too weak and she had to be operated. Beth has fused vertebrae - the lower half of her back is held in place wi with titanium screws. (Everyone asks her if she sets off airport metal detectors... she doesn't!)
• Dwayne Cameron was having a drink with Beth Allen when she was phoned to ask whether she wanted to go back to The Tribe in series 3. (Cute or what? Makes one wonder....)
• Beth loves shoes!
• Her great uncle set up Plunket
• One of the great joys in Beth's life? New episodes of The Family Guy!

Hi there Tribe fan!

Thanks for your email and your birthday wishes!!  I really appreciate your support.

Back to University this year which finishes in June.  Then I plan to work and go to drama school.

I have been enjoying listening to music and would like to sleep in a lot.  Other than that I will continue my quest to try every kind of chocolate bar the world has to offer.

Oh well, take care and I hope to update you again soon.

Beth Allen (Amber)
