This week, The Mirror have been serialising Beverley Callard's autobiography and today, Bev spills the beans on her work colleagues at Coronation Street. The whole article's worth a read as she comments on many more I haven't listed below.
BEV ON ANNE KIRKBRIDE
She's gorgeous! We're in so many scenes together. The sets are so small and so we often have to get quite close to each other. We joke: "Here's Liz and Deirdre's lesbian moment!"
BEV ON JULIE GOODYEAR
My mentor and idol. She taught me so much. Her one-liners in the script were fantastic - and Julie's own were even funnier. She often had me crying with laughter.
BEV ON SIMON GREGSON AND NICK COCHRANE
They are my boys! They have a special place in my heart. I'd love them and Jim to come back to the Corrie fold so we can all be a proper family again.
BEV ON BETTY DRIVER
The woman is an absolute phenomenon. She is 90 years old and still has fabulous skin and is word-perfect as Betty Turpin. She is the real queen of the Street.
MY FAVOURITE OUTFIT
My favourite is also Liz's worst. It's the skin-tight red top with holes cut out of the shoulder. Harry Hill loves it. Although Liz has a belter of an outfit coming up for Audrey's birthday party...
And of course there's Liz's beloved zigzag necklace which she has had from the very early days. It's been repaired three times and the wardrobe department get letters each week asking where we got it. A viewer even sent me some earrings to match.
MY FAVOURITE STREET SCENES
When Jim beat up Liz. I knew those scenes would have a huge impact. There were protests outside the studios and I had sacks of letters from battered wives. The scenes were so well written that one week viewers would have sympathy for Liz, the next Jim, then Liz. Opening those scripts gave me a buzz. And the viewing figures, 24 million, were massive.
CAST MEMBER I SECRETLY FANCY....
Keith Duffy. He is gorgeous! You wouldn't be normal if you didn't fancy him. He's a lovely bloke and is always in a good mood. Ciaran and Liz quite fancy each other, and that might go on for some time...

The zigzag necklace always reminded me of Kermit the Frog's collar. ;)
