Beth was born the surprise child of Madeline Myrick and Brayden Ngata. Brayden had been killed supposedly by Madeline's mother Alissa-May during Madeline's pregnancy.

## Given Away To Paulina Rockwell

Beth was born in Del Sol Valley and was mainly raised by Jamie Landgraab due to her mother Madeline's lack of maternal instinct. Madeline struggled and could not give Beth the love she needed, so Jamie made the bold decision to give Beth over to her paternal family in the hands of her grandmother Paulina Rockwell in Sulani.

## Unusual Upbringing

Beth had no parents in her early life thereafter and was solely raised by Paulina and aunts Josephine and Hilary. Within a short period of time, these key people in Beth's life died of old age, and Beth was left in the care of her older cousin Viviana Sanders, who was also raising her fatherless daughter Vera Sanders. Beth felt very lonely at times during her youth and noticed a large void left by the absence of her parents.

## Falling for Shawn

Years later, Beth's maternal grandmother Alissa-May reached out and Beth went to live with her and Jamie nearby in hopes of learning more about her mother. Beth would also meet Shawn Tinsley, the step-grandson of Jamie. Beth was shocked to learn Alissa-May was the supposed killer of Brayden, but before she could confront her grandmother, Alissa-May died of old age followed by Jamie dying too. Beth felt more lonely than ever and gravitated to Shawn, quickly falling pregnant and agreeing to stay living with him in Jamie's Cabin. Beth later gave birth to Greyson Tinsley.

## Madeline's Proposition

After many years of living in Jamie's Cabin, Greyson had married Willow West and moved in with her in Del Sol Valley, quickly producing Beth's grandchild Frederick Tinsley. Beth was reached out to by her estranged mother Madeline, who asked Beth to take over the Willow Creek Pub after Madeline's death. With little interest and some hostility to Madeline, Beth declined the offer, but was later shocked to learn Greyson and Willow had agreed to run the pub.

## Supporting Madeline

Beth was shocked to learn that Willow had given birth to another man's daughter, Aspen Tinsley, and Greyson had run away with Aspen after finding out. Although initially angry at Madeline, Beth moved to Willow Creek temporarily to support her through her loneliness and depression, accompanied by cousin-once-removed Vera, whom Beth grew up with. Beth convinced her mother to sort herself out and refocus on her pub legacy. Beth's half-brother Tony then moved into the pub with his wife Amy to be with Madeline near her death, although Beth and Madeline suspected Amy of deceptive intentions. Despite Madeline's pleas, Beth refused to take ownership of the pub, so Madeline had Beth's cousin Charles Myrick move in to take ownership in a transitional period. Beth was given a share in case Charles ran the business into the ground. Beth met her niece Cherry when Amy then gave birth. Beth wished her mother farewell before she sadly died of old age.

## Stuck In The Past

As the Myricks moved in to take up residence, Beth decided to stay with them for some time as she developed a strong attachment to the Pub. Vera, Tony, Amy and Cherry had all left and Beth's absence caused friction in her long-distance relationship to Shawn. Beth felt a degree of guilt for not connecting with Madeline enough, and became trapped in her past. Beth felt even more guilty when Shawn died of old age suddenly, before Beth could reunite with him. Beth helped Charles run the pub until she died of old age too.
