THERE’S a spot of mischief making in a new TV interview with former Coronation Street star Julie Goodyear.
It comes as ex-Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan asks the soap queen about her disastrous 2002 return to Weatherfield.
Julie went back to the role of Bet Gilroy / Bet Lynch seven years after leaving the cobbles.
She lasted just 17 days, freely admitting tomorrow night that she simply couldn’t cope with the five episodes a week filming schedule.
With a “panic-stricken” Julie on the verge of a nervous breakdown, the tabloids had a field day.

Piers alleges: “I can tell you that there were several cast members who were deliberately spreading malicious gossip about you.”
He asks if she feels “shocked and betrayed” by that.
Julie replies: “Yes,” adding that she “never, ever” suspected it was the case.
But she says there is “no bitterness” on her part.
“My loyalty to Coronation Street is beyond question.
“And if I could go back, apart from that one hiccup, I can honestly say, hand on heart, I would go back and do it all again.”
It’s an interesting programme, spoiled in part by at least one of the media commentators also interviewed about Julie.
I often wonder if some of these “talking heads” eager to give their opinions have ever actually met the person they’re so knowledgeable about.
