Yellowstone’s Kelly Reilly exposes reason for Young Beth flashback

Yellowstone finally returned to screens on Sunday with its eagerly awaited fifth season. As the double-episode premiere arrived with a major flashback into Beth Dutton’s (played by Kelly Reilly) life, the actress detailed the real reason for the insight. The first episode picked up with a major flash forward and opened up with John Dutton (Kevin Costner) being sworn in as the Governor of Montana. Although it was clear the ranch owner was more concerned with his land, his daughter, Beth was there to support his new career. Season four came to a satisfying end for Beth and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) as they took their long-term relationship to the next step and tied the knot. During the premiere, viewers also got to see a glimpse of the early days of their relationship with a flashback.READ MORE: Prince William and Kate ‘upset’ with Mike Tindall’s I’m A Celeb stint Yellowstone: Kelly Reilly opened up on the flashback (Image: Paramount Network) Yellowstone: Beth and Rip have been together since they were young adults (Image: Paramount Network) Yellowstone: Beth had regrets about their early days together (Image: Paramount Network) Yellowstone: John was sworn in as Governor (Image: Paramount Network)After noticing Rip was put-off, she hit back: ‘I’m not yours to be jealous over,’ as she continued, Rip had enough and decided to head home. As Beth had the keys to the truck, he hitchhiked a ride to the Ranch where he later saw Beth getting steamy with another rancher. Later in the episode, Beth seemingly regretted this as she reflected and told Rip how she wasted so much of their time when they were young. However, there was a deeper meaning to the flashback that actress Kelly Reilly opened up about. DON’T MISS…Mike Tindall sparks uproar for ’embarrassing’ the royals [REACTION]Yellowstone season 5 is joined by Your Honor actress [INSIGHT]Yellowstone fury as fans blast Paramount+ for being ‘unable to watch’ [REACTION]She stated: ‘I think, for me, Beth is very haunted by her past and there seems to be a lot of that rising up in her this season, ‘Which I’ve actually enjoyed because you get to see a side of Beth that understands consequence.
