Even Kelly Reilly Can’t Believe What Beth Dutton Does Next

For five seasons on Yellowstone, Kelly Reilly doesn’t always know what Beth Dutton is about to do. That's the sound of another Blu-ray dropping, full of 'exclusive' content. More studio-sanitized fluff. But listen closely. Even through the corporate sheen, Kelly Reilly, the woman trapped inside Beth Dutton's perpetually-seething skin, sounds... tired. Surprised. Maybe even a little pissed off.

She's been slinging Beth's venom since 2018. Five years. You'd think she'd have a handle on the monster. Nope. Taylor Sheridan, the man who writes every damn line since Season Two, keeps her guessing. No heads-up. No 'hey, just so you know, your character's about to lose her uterus in a flashback.' Just script drops. Like a bomb.

'There are still things that I read and I didn't expect, or sometimes I wish for something else for her...'"

Sheridan's Vision: The Blind Drop

'We're all sort of beholden to the vision of the storyteller and we serve the story.'"

Rip & Beth: A Doomed Romance?

'Beth is haunted by her past... she's probably certain that she will lose him.'"

So, when the next 'shocking storyline' hits your screen, remember Kelly Reilly. Out there, probably somewhere in Montana, reading her script, sipping stale coffee from a production assistant's mug, and muttering, 'What fresh hell is this, Taylor?' Just like us. Except she actually has to be Beth Dutton. Poor bastard. The fans experiences Beth’s chaos for an hour. Reilly lives inside it for months.
